Speak to a Lobe Pump Specialist
Selecting a lobe vacuum pump requires careful consideration of the primary backing pump, required pumping speed, operating pressure, chamber volume and target pump-down time. Contact Vacuum Pumps UK for help specifying the correct BCA pump or complete CBL system.
Contact Our SpecialistsDVP Rotary Lobe Vacuum Pumps and Booster Systems
DVP BCA rotary lobe vacuum pumps are high-capacity dry-running booster pumps designed for industrial processes requiring increased pumping speed at lower operating pressures.
Two synchronised, non-contacting lobed rotors rotate inside a specially shaped pumping chamber. This transfers air from the inlet to the outlet without oil being required inside the pumping chamber and without the rotors rubbing against one another.
In vacuum applications, the BCA lobe pump is installed in series with a suitably sized oil-lubricated rotary vane primary pump. The lobe booster increases pumping speed at low pressure, reduces the time required to evacuate a chamber and enables the combined system to achieve a substantially deeper final vacuum than the primary pump could normally produce alone.
DVP BCA Lobe Vacuum Pumps
The DVP BCA range provides nominal capacities from approximately 279 to 3,465 m³/h, allowing the booster pump to be matched to different chamber sizes, process duties and primary vacuum pumps.
• Dry, non-contact pumping chamber
• High pumping speeds at low pressure
• IE3 motor options available
• AdaptShield protection option

DVP CBL systems combine a BCA lobe booster with a matched DVP oil-lubricated rotary vane primary pump, system pipework and intelligent protection and control.
• Complete matched pump combinations
• Faster evacuation of closed volumes
• Extremely low final pressure capability
• AdaptShield system protection and control
View DVP CBL Lobe Pump Systems →Typical Lobe Vacuum Pump Applications
Rotary lobe booster pumps are generally used where a process requires high pumping speeds at lower pressure, rapid evacuation of a sealed volume or a deeper final vacuum than a conventional primary pump can achieve alone.
• Pharmaceutical processing
• Vacuum metal treatment
• Transformer oil outgassing
• Food processing
• Food and vacuum packaging
• Rapid chamber evacuation
• High-vacuum process systems
• Industrial degassing processes
• Bespoke factory vacuum installations
Why Use a Lobe Booster?
A lobe booster can provide substantially greater pumping speed once the primary pump has reduced the system pressure sufficiently.
This can reduce production cycle times and improve the performance of processes requiring high throughput at deeper vacuum levels.
Choosing the Correct System
Correct selection depends on the chamber volume, required pump-down time, process pressure, gas load, duty cycle and the capacity of the primary backing pump.
Vacuum Pumps UK can work with DVP’s technical resource to select a suitable BCA pump or complete CBL system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rotary lobe vacuum pump?
A rotary lobe vacuum pump uses two synchronised lobed rotors to transfer air through a dry, contactless pumping chamber. In this application it is normally used as a booster pump alongside a primary vacuum pump.
Can a DVP BCA lobe pump operate on its own?
In vacuum applications, the BCA lobe pump should be installed in series with a suitable oil-lubricated rotary vane primary pump. The primary pump reduces the pressure before the lobe booster provides increased pumping speed.
Are lobe vacuum pumps oil free?
The BCA lobe pump operates with a dry pumping chamber and no oil is required around the lobed rotors. However, a complete vacuum system normally includes an oil-lubricated primary backing pump.
What is a DVP CBL system?
A CBL system is a factory-configured combination of a DVP BCA lobe booster, a matched DVP oil-lubricated rotary vane primary pump and the associated system control and protection equipment.
What information is needed to select a lobe pump system?
Useful information includes the chamber or system volume, starting pressure, target pressure, required evacuation time, process gas, operating hours and details of any existing primary vacuum pump.
