Elmo Rietschle VCAH100 Overview
The VCAH100 is the deeper-vacuum 100 m³/h member of the VCAH/VCEH family, with a stated ultimate pressure of 0.5 mbar absolute.
Oil lubricates and seals the pumping mechanism and assists heat control. The inlet filtration, oil condition and exhaust oil-mist separation are therefore important to reliable performance.
The published three-phase motor rating is 2.20 / 3.00 kW at 50Hz / 60Hz. Exact voltage and build should be confirmed from the existing pump nameplate.
Vacuum Pumps UK can assess replacement requirements, while VacAir Superstore can support existing pumps with parts, oil separators, oil, servicing and workshop repair.

Typical Applications
› vacuum packaging
› vacuum chambers
› plastics and thermoforming
› printing and converting
› vacuum lifting
› industrial production systems
Actual suitability depends on working pressure, pumping speed at that pressure, process gas, contamination and duty cycle. Replacement selection should therefore consider the complete machine or process.
Applications involving significant vapour or aggressive gases should be reviewed before selecting a standard oil lubricated pump.
DVP LC106
Oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump
106 / 127 m³/h
Comparable DVP Alternative
Consider the DVP LC106
The DVP LC106 is a close capacity comparison at 106 / 127 m³/h and reaches a deeper vacuum of 0.1 mbar absolute. It is an ideal model to assess where dimensions, connections, electrical supply and performance at the working pressure are suitable.
Final suitability should be checked against the duty point, mounting dimensions, inlet position, connection size, motor voltage and process conditions.
Vacuum Pumps UK is the UK and Ireland Master Agent for DVP Vacuum Technology.
