Elmo Rietschle V-VCS 75 Overview
The V-VCS 75 is the highest-capacity model on the compact 40/50/75 platform. Published capacity is 70 / 84 m³/h at 50Hz / 60Hz with an ultimate pressure of 0.5 mbar absolute.
The V-VCS is Elmo Rietschle’s newer generation of single-stage oil-flooded rotary vane vacuum pumps. Manufacturer literature describes a compact industrial design with emphasis on efficient operation, reduced noise and straightforward maintenance. The standard V-VCS models in this batch are rated to 0.5 mbar absolute.
Oil lubricates the internal mechanism, assists sealing and helps control operating temperature. Oil condition, inlet restriction, separator condition and internal wear should therefore all be considered when an existing pump has lost performance.
The three-phase motor rating for the V-VCS 75 is 1.85 / 2.20 kW at 50Hz / 60Hz. Exact voltage, phase, motor build and pump configuration should always be checked from the installed unit.
Elmo Rietschle V-VCS 75 Technical Specifications
| Model | Nominal Capacity m³/h 50Hz / 60Hz |
Ultimate Vacuum mbar abs. 50Hz / 60Hz |
Motor 3PH kW 50Hz / 60Hz |
| V-VCS 75 | 70 / 84 | 0.5 / 0.5 | 1.85 / 2.20 |
Typical Applications
› packaging and processing machinery
› central vacuum installations
› vacuum forming and plastics machinery
› printing and paper converting equipment
› materials handling and lifting systems
› continuous industrial evacuation duties
The correct pump depends on more than nominal capacity. Required working pressure, evacuation time, pipe losses, process gas, vapour or contamination load and duty cycle can all affect selection.
For replacement work, the existing pump nameplate and photographs of the installation provide a useful starting point.

DVP LC60
Oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump
Comparable DVP Alternative
Consider the DVP LC60 or LC106
The DVP LC60 is slightly lower in nominal capacity at 60 / 72 m³/h compared with 70 / 84 m³/h for the V-VCS 75. Suitability depends on the pumping speed required at the normal working pressure.
Headline specifications are only the first stage of a replacement check. Pumping speed at the actual operating pressure, dimensions, mounting points, inlet and exhaust connections, motor supply and available installation space must also be considered.

Elmo Rietschle V-VCS 75 Parts, Oil, Service and Repair
Many established Rietschle rotary vane pumps remain repairable, so replacement is not necessarily the only option. A loss of vacuum can result from service condition, leakage, exhaust separation problems or internal wear.
VacAir Superstore can assist with Elmo Rietschle service parts, oil separators, vacuum pump oil, routine maintenance and workshop repair.
Spare Parts
Service and repair components can be identified from the model and pump build.
Oil Separators
Correct exhaust separation helps control oil mist and supports oil recirculation.
Vacuum Pump Oil
Oil grade and condition are important to lubrication, sealing and pump performance.
Service & Maintenance
Routine service can include oil, filters, separators, inspection and vacuum testing.
Repair & Overhaul
Workshop strip-down and inspection can establish whether overhaul remains economical.
Elmo Rietschle V-VCS 75 Frequently Asked Questions
What type of vacuum pump is the Elmo Rietschle V-VCS 75?
It is a single-stage oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump intended for industrial vacuum duty.
What is the nominal pumping capacity?
The published capacity is 70 m³/h at 50Hz and 84 m³/h at 60Hz.
What ultimate vacuum can the V-VCS 75 achieve?
The stated ultimate pressure is 0.5 mbar absolute.
Can an existing V-VCS 75 be serviced or repaired?
Potentially, yes. The practical choice depends on internal condition, parts availability and the fault. VacAir can investigate performance loss and provide servicing or workshop repair.
What DVP replacement should be considered?
Vacuum Pumps UK can assess the DVP LC60 as a possible alternative. The final choice must be based on the required operating point and physical installation, not model capacity alone.
