DVP LC106WR Water-Resistant Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump
The DVP LC106WR is a high-capacity oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump designed for industrial processes where significant quantities of water vapour or condensate may enter the vacuum system.
Its oil and water separation system makes it particularly suitable for wet stone, marble and glass processing machinery, moist packaging processes and other applications where a standard oil lubricated pump may suffer from contaminated or emulsified oil.
Vacuum Pumps UK is the UK & Ireland Master Agent for DVP Vacuum Technology.

DVP LC106WR Overview
The DVP LC106WR is a high-capacity water-resistant oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump developed for continuous industrial processes where water vapour or condensate may be drawn into the vacuum system.
The pump incorporates a specialist device which separates water condensate from the vacuum pump oil. The separated water is expelled when the pump is stopped, helping reduce oil contamination and protect the internal pump components in wet or vapour-laden applications.
With a nominal capacity of 106 m³/h at 50Hz and 127 m³/h at 60Hz, the LC106WR is suitable for larger production machinery and industrial installations requiring dependable vacuum performance together with enhanced water-vapour handling.
Designed for Water Vapour and Condensate
The principal advantage of the LC106WR is its ability to operate in processes where high concentrations of water vapour could contaminate the oil of a conventional rotary vane vacuum pump.
When water mixes with vacuum pump oil, it can cause emulsification, reduce lubrication, promote corrosion and lead to deterioration in vacuum performance. Repeated contamination can also increase servicing requirements and shorten the life of the pump.
The LC106WR separates condensate from the pump oil and discharges the collected water when the pump stops. Its continuously operating gas ballast further assists the handling of condensable vapours.
Typical Applications
The DVP LC106WR is suitable for larger industrial processes requiring dependable vacuum performance alongside improved resistance to water vapour and condensate.
› CNC marble cutting machines
› Wet stone processing machinery
› CNC glass processing machines
› Glass cutting and handling equipment
› Industrial processes containing water vapour
› Evacuation of moist enclosed volumes
› Vacuum packaging machines
› Bag filling machines
› Dental applications
› Printing and paper machinery
› Vacuum lifting equipment
› Workshop and industrial equipment
Why Choose the DVP LC106WR?
The LC106WR is a practical choice where a high-capacity oil lubricated vacuum pump is required and a conventional model may be vulnerable to water contamination from the production process.
It combines a nominal capacity of 106 m³/h with an oil check valve, exhaust mist eliminator, automatic floating oil recovery valve, continuously operating gas ballast, oil level switch, shock mounts and a flexible transmission coupling.
Vacuum Pumps UK can support the LC106WR with pump selection, replacement advice, service support, accessories, spare parts and technical assistance.
Key LC106WR Features
Oil and Water Separation
The specialist separation system separates water condensate from the vacuum pump oil and discharges the collected water when the pump stops.
Continuous Gas Ballast
The continuously operating gas ballast helps the pump manage condensable vapours entering the vacuum system.
Automatic Oil Recovery
The automatic floating oil recovery valve helps return separated oil to the pump and supports reliable oil circulation.
Flexible Drive Coupling
The flexible transmission coupling helps provide smooth power transfer between the motor and pump and supports reliable industrial operation.
Standard LC106 or LC106WR?
The correct model depends on both the required vacuum performance and the quantity of water vapour entering the pump.
The standard LC106 is suitable for drier industrial applications and can achieve a deeper ultimate vacuum. Where moisture, coolant vapour or condensate is regularly drawn into the vacuum system, the LC106WR’s oil and water separation system may provide a more reliable solution.
Our technical team can review the process conditions, required vacuum and existing installation before advising which DVP model is most appropriate.
Repair or Replace Your Existing Pump?
If a vacuum pump repeatedly develops milky or emulsified oil, internal corrosion or reduced vacuum performance, the underlying cause may be water entering from the production process.
Repairing the existing pump may restore operation, but replacing it with a model designed for water-vapour duties may provide a more reliable long-term solution.
We can assess the pump condition, vapour loading and required vacuum before advising whether repair, refurbishment or replacement with an LC106WR is appropriate.
Replacement Pump Guide
Oil Becoming Milky?
Milky or emulsified oil can indicate that process water is entering the pump. The LC106WR may provide a more suitable long-term solution.
Replacing a Stone or Marble Machine Pump?
The LC106WR is particularly suited to larger wet stone and marble machinery where significant water vapour or condensate is drawn into the vacuum system.
Replacing a Glass Machine Pump?
For CNC glass processing and handling machinery, we can assess the moisture level and vacuum requirement before confirming whether the LC106WR is suitable.
Replacing Another Make?
Send us the pump make, model number or a photograph of the nameplate and we will advise the nearest suitable DVP option.
Not Sure Whether You Need a Water-Resistant Pump?
Tell us what the machine is processing, whether water or coolant is used and what condition the existing vacuum pump oil is in.
We can assess whether water vapour is likely to be entering the pump and recommend the most appropriate DVP model.

DVP LC106WR Frequently Asked Questions
What is different about the DVP LC106WR?
The LC106WR incorporates a specialist system that separates water condensate from the vacuum pump oil. The collected water is expelled when the pump stops.
What is the capacity of the LC106WR?
The LC106WR has a nominal pumping speed of 106 m³/h at 50Hz and 127 m³/h at 60Hz.
What is the ultimate vacuum of the LC106WR?
The stated ultimate vacuum is 4 mbar absolute.
How much water vapour can the LC106WR handle?
The stated maximum water vapour pumping rate is 3.2 kg/h. Suitability should still be checked against the actual process conditions and operating cycle.
Is the LC106WR suitable for marble and glass machinery?
Yes. It is particularly suited to larger wet marble, stone and glass processing applications where moisture or condensate may enter the vacuum system.
