Becker U 5.101 Overview
The Becker U 5.101 is an oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump designed for continuous industrial service where a fine vacuum level, strong pumping capacity and dependable performance are required.
With a nominal pumping speed of 100 m³/h at 50Hz and 120 m³/h at 60Hz, it is suitable for packaging machinery, process equipment, vacuum handling systems and other industrial vacuum applications.
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 U 5.101 where the original pump specification needs to be retained.

DVP LC106
Comparable 106 m³/h oil lubricated vacuum pump
Comparable DVP Alternative
Consider the DVP LC106
Where an exact Becker replacement is not essential, the DVP LC106 may provide a suitable and cost-effective alternative to the Becker U 5.101.
With a nominal capacity of 106 m³/h at 50Hz and 127 m³/h at 60Hz, the LC106 provides closely comparable pumping performance to the Becker U 5.101, which is rated at 100 / 120 m³/h.
Both pumps provide a fine stated ultimate vacuum of approximately 0.1 mbar absolute, making the LC106 a closely aligned option where the application does not specifically require the original Becker model.
The DVP LC106 is designed for continuous industrial operation and is suitable for packaging machinery, thermoforming equipment, printing and paper machinery, vacuum handling systems and other demanding replacement installations.
Its oil damping and recovery system, automatic floating oil recovery valve, exhaust mist eliminator and anti-suck-back protection support clean, dependable operation. A flexible drive coupling connects the motor and pump.
Although the principal performance figures are closely matched, mounting dimensions, inlet position, connections, motor voltage and installation arrangements must still be checked before changing pump model.
Vacuum Pumps UK is the UK and Ireland Master Agent for DVP Vacuum Technology.

Important: Mounting dimensions, inlet position, connection size, motor voltage, operating pressure and process conditions should always be checked.
Why Consider the DVP LC106?
Many customers searching for a Becker U 5.101 require a reliable 100 m³/h-class oil lubricated vacuum pump rather than a specific manufacturer.
Closely Matched Capacity
The LC106 provides 106 / 127 m³/h, closely matching the Becker pump’s 100 / 120 m³/h rating.
Fine Vacuum Capability
Both pumps provide a stated ultimate vacuum of approximately 0.1 mbar absolute.
Cost-Effective Option
The LC106 may provide a more economical purchase option where an exact Becker replacement is not required.

Becker U 2.100 Vacuum Pump
An earlier Becker oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump which may still be installed on older production machinery and industrial vacuum systems.
Becker U 4.100 Vacuum Pump
The Becker U 4.100 was manufactured for many years and became one of the most widely used Becker pumps in this capacity range. Large numbers remain in service, and the model was only replaced by the later series relatively recently.
Becker U 5.100 Vacuum Pump
The Becker U 5.100 directly preceded the U 5.101 and may still be found on packaging machinery and other industrial equipment requiring dependable continuous vacuum performance.
Replacing an older Becker vacuum pump: A replacement should not be selected from the model number or pumping capacity alone. Mounting dimensions, inlet and exhaust positions, motor voltage, electrical arrangements, operating pressure and the requirements of the connected machinery must also be checked.
Send us a photograph of the existing pump, its nameplate and the surrounding installation and we can assess a current Becker pump, the DVP LC106 or another suitable replacement.
