Leybold SOGEVAC SV40 B Overview
The SOGEVAC range is widely used on packaging, process machinery and general industrial vacuum installations. Oil lubricates the working components, contributes to sealing inside the pumping chamber and assists thermal control during operation.
For this model the stated motor rating is 1.1 / 1.5 kW. Exact voltage, motor build, gas ballast arrangement and connection details should be confirmed from the installed pump before replacement.
Vacuum Pumps UK can advise on replacement options, while VacAir Superstore supports Leybold SOGEVAC pumps with oil separators, spare parts, oil, servicing and workshop repairs.

Comparable DVP Alternative
Consider the DVP LC40
Where an exact Leybold replacement is not essential, Vacuum Pumps UK can assess the DVP LC40 as a replacement option for the Leybold SOGEVAC SV40 B.
The DVP LC40 provides 40 / 48 m³/h, compared with 44 / 53 m³/h for the Leybold pump.
The DVP model has a deeper stated ultimate vacuum of 0.1 mbar absolute, compared with 0.5 mbar absolute for the Leybold pump.
Final suitability should be checked against the actual working pressure, process conditions, mounting dimensions, inlet position, connection size and motor supply.
Vacuum Pumps UK is the UK and Ireland Master Agent for DVP Vacuum Technology.
