Becker O 6.8 Overview
The Becker O 6.8 is a compact oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump designed for continuous industrial service where modest pumping capacity and dependable vacuum performance are required.
With a nominal pumping speed of 8 m³/h at 50Hz, it is well suited to smaller packaging machines, medical and laboratory equipment, vacuum holding duties and other compact OEM machinery.
Oil within the pump lubricates the working components, assists sealing and helps control operating temperature. Integrated exhaust separation helps recover oil and reduce oil mist from the exhaust.
Vacuum Pumps UK can assist with the supply of a new Becker O 6.8 where the original pump specification needs to be retained.

DVP LC8
Comparable 8 m³/h oil lubricated vacuum pump
Comparable DVP Alternative
Consider the DVP LC8
Where an exact Becker replacement is not essential, the DVP LC8 may provide a reliable and more economical alternative to the Becker O 6.8.
With a nominal capacity of 8 m³/h at 50Hz and 9 m³/h at 60Hz, the LC8 matches the Becker O 6.8 at 50Hz and provides closely comparable performance at 60Hz.
The DVP LC8 also has a stated final pressure of 2 mbar absolute, making it a closely aligned option where the application does not specifically require the original Becker model.
The LC8 combines compact dimensions with quiet operation, straightforward servicing and simple oil level inspection, making it suitable for smaller machinery and OEM vacuum installations.
An integrated oil damping and recovery system, incorporating a by-pass and automatic float-operated oil recovery valve, helps minimise oil vapour emissions from the exhaust.
An anti-suck-back device also helps prevent oil from being drawn back into the connected system if the pump stops while operating under vacuum.
Vacuum Pumps UK is the UK and Ireland Master Agent for DVP Vacuum Technology.
Becker O 6.8 and DVP LC8 Comparison

| Specification | Becker O 6.8 | DVP LC8 |
| Pump Technology | Oil lubricated rotary vane | Oil lubricated rotary vane |
| Nominal Capacity 50Hz | 8 m³/h | 8 m³/h |
| Nominal Capacity 60Hz | 9.6 m³/h | 9 m³/h |
| Maximum Vacuum | 2 mbar absolute | 2 mbar absolute |
| Motor Power 50Hz | 0.25 kW | 0.25 kW |
| Motor Power 60Hz | 0.3 kW | 0.30 kW |
| Oil Recovery System | Integrated oil separation | Integrated oil damping and recovery system |
| Anti-Suck-Back Protection | Check installation arrangement | Integrated anti-suck-back device |
Important: Mounting dimensions, inlet position, connection size, motor voltage, operating pressure and process conditions should always be checked.
Why Consider the DVP LC8?
Many customers searching for a Becker O 6.8 require a reliable compact oil lubricated vacuum pump rather than a specific manufacturer.
Comparable Capacity
The LC8 matches the Becker pump at 8 m³/h at 50Hz and provides closely comparable performance at 9 m³/h at 60Hz.
Matching Vacuum Level
Both pumps have a stated final pressure of 2 mbar absolute.
Cost-Effective Option
The LC8 may provide a more economical purchase option where an exact Becker replacement is not required.
