Becker U 5.301 Overview
The Becker U 5.301 is a high-capacity oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump designed for continuous industrial service where a fine vacuum level, strong pumping speed and dependable performance are required.
With a nominal pumping speed of 300 m³/h at 50Hz and 360 m³/h at 60Hz, it is suitable for larger packaging machinery, process equipment, central vacuum installations and other demanding 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 5.301 where the original pump specification needs to be retained.

DVP LC305
Closely matched 305 m³/h oil lubricated vacuum pump
Comparable DVP Alternative
Consider the DVP LC305
Where an exact Becker replacement is not essential, the DVP LC305 may provide a suitable and cost-effective alternative to the Becker U 5.301.
With a nominal capacity of 305 m³/h at 50Hz and 365 m³/h at 60Hz, the LC305 closely matches the stated pumping capacity of the Becker U 5.301.
Both pumps have a stated final pressure of approximately 0.1 mbar absolute, making the LC305 a closely aligned option where the application does not specifically require the original Becker model.
The LC305 is designed for continuous industrial duty and combines improved oil-air separation with quieter operation, straightforward oil inspection and simplified routine maintenance.
Standard equipment includes an oil check valve, exhaust mist eliminator, automatic floating oil recovery valve, gas ballast with manual override valve, shock mounts, an oil filter with bypass and a flexible motor coupling. An anti-suck-back arrangement helps prevent oil from being drawn into the connected system if the pump stops while operating under vacuum.
Mounting dimensions, inlet position, connections, motor voltage, operating pressure 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.
Becker U 5.301 and DVP LC305 Comparison
The comparison below shows the principal technical figures for each model. Final suitability should be checked against the machine, application and installation requirements.
| Specification | Becker U 5.301 | DVP LC305 |
| Pump Technology | Oil lubricated rotary vane | Oil lubricated rotary vane |
| Nominal Capacity 50Hz | 300 m³/h | 305 m³/h |
| Nominal Capacity 60Hz | 360 m³/h | 365 m³/h |
| Maximum Vacuum | ≤0.1 mbar absolute | 0.1 mbar absolute |
| Motor Power 50Hz | 5.5 kW | 7.5 kW |
| Motor Power 60Hz | 6.6 kW | 8.6 kW |
| Oil Recovery System | Integrated oil separation | Automatic floating oil recovery valve |
Important: The LC305 provides closely matched pumping capacity and vacuum performance but has a different stated motor rating. Mounting dimensions, inlet position, connection size, motor voltage, operating pressure and process conditions must always be checked.
Why Consider the DVP LC305?
Many customers searching for a Becker U 5.301 require a reliable 300 m³/h-class oil lubricated vacuum pump rather than a specific manufacturer.
Closely Matched Capacity
The LC305 provides 305 / 365 m³/h, closely matching the Becker pump’s 300 / 360 m³/h rating.
Cost-Effective Option
The LC305 may provide a cost-effective purchase option where an exact Becker replacement is not required.
Industrial Construction
The LC305 is designed for continuous operation on packaging, process and central vacuum applications.

Older Becker U 2.250, U 4.250 and U 5.300 Vacuum Pumps
The Becker U 5.301 follows earlier Becker oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps in the same general capacity range. Older models still found on packaging machinery, printing equipment, central vacuum installations and other industrial systems include the Becker U 2.250, Becker U 4.250 and Becker U 5.300.
Vacuum Pumps UK can assist customers looking for information, servicing, spare parts or a suitable replacement for any of these older Becker vacuum pump models.
Becker U 2.250 Vacuum Pump
The Becker U 2.250 is an earlier oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump which may still be installed on packaging machinery, process equipment and industrial vacuum systems.
Becker U 4.250 Vacuum Pump
The Becker U 4.250 may still be found on older production machinery and central vacuum installations where servicing, replacement components or advice on a current pump is required.
Becker U 5.300 Vacuum Pump
The Becker U 5.300 is a previous version in this larger Becker oil lubricated pump range and may still be operating on packaging lines, process machinery and other demanding industrial applications.
Replacing an older Becker vacuum pump: A replacement should not be selected from pumping capacity alone. Mounting dimensions, inlet and exhaust positions, motor voltage, electrical arrangements, operating pressure and the requirements of the connected machinery must all 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 LC305 or another suitable replacement.
