Busch R5 RA 0205D Overview
The Busch R5 RA 0205D is part of the established Busch R5 range of oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps.
It is a single-stage pump developed for continuous-duty industrial applications requiring strong pumping speed at low operating pressures and a nominal capacity of 200 m³/h at 50Hz.
The RA 0205D is commonly installed on larger packaging machines, tray sealing and thermoforming equipment, food processing systems, plastics machinery, vacuum conveying equipment and centralised vacuum installations.
Oil within the pump lubricates the working components, assists sealing and supports stable operating temperature. Integrated exhaust separation helps recover oil within the pump and reduce oil mist from the exhaust.
Vacuum Pumps UK can assist with the supply of a new Busch R5 RA 0205D where the original pump specification needs to be retained.

DVP LC205
Closely matched 205 m³/h oil lubricated vacuum pump
Cost-Effective DVP Alternative
Consider the DVP LC205
Where an exact Busch replacement is not essential, the DVP LC205 can provide a cost-effective alternative to the Busch R5 RA 0205D.
With a nominal capacity of 205 m³/h at 50Hz, 245 m³/h at 60Hz, a stated total final pressure of 0.5 mbar absolute and a 5.5 / 6.6 kW motor rating, the LC205 is closely matched to the principal flow and motor figures of the Busch pump.
The DVP LC205 is designed for continuous industrial duty and combines improved oil-air separation with quieter operation, straightforward oil inspection and simplified routine maintenance.
Standard equipment includes an oil check valve, exhaust mist eliminator, automatic floating oil recovery valve, continuously working gas ballast, shock mounts, an oil filter with bypass and a flexible motor coupling.
An anti-suck-back arrangement helps prevent oil from being drawn into the connected system if the pump stops while operating under vacuum.
Vacuum Pumps UK is the UK and Ireland Master Agent for DVP Vacuum Technology.
Busch R5 RA 0205D and DVP LC205 Comparison
The comparison below shows the principal technical figures for each model. Final suitability should be checked against the machine, application and installation requirements.
| Specification | Busch R5 RA 0205D | DVP LC205 |
| Pump Technology | Single-stage oil lubricated rotary vane | Oil lubricated rotary vane |
| Nominal Capacity 50Hz | 200 m³/h | 205 m³/h |
| Nominal Capacity 60Hz | 240 m³/h | 245 m³/h |
| Ultimate Vacuum | 0.1 mbar absolute | 0.1 mbar absolute |
| Motor Power 50Hz | 5.5 kW | 5.5 kW |
| Motor Power 60Hz | 6.6 kW | 6.6 kW |
| Exhaust Oil Separation | Integrated separator elements | Exhaust mist eliminator and automatic oil recovery valve |
| Anti-Suck-Back Protection | Integrated non-return arrangement | Integrated anti-suck-back arrangement |
Important: The LC205 is a closely matched alternative rather than a dimensionally identical replacement. Mounting dimensions, inlet position, connection size, motor voltage, controls, required operating pressure and process conditions should always be checked.
Why Consider the DVP LC205?
Many customers searching for a Busch R5 RA 0205D require a dependable oil lubricated vacuum pump with approximately 200 m³/h nominal capacity rather than a specific manufacturer.
In these applications, the DVP LC205 provides closely matched capacity, the same stated motor rating, competitive pricing and direct technical support from the official DVP UK and Ireland Master Agent. Its stated final pressure is 0.5 mbar absolute, so application suitability should be checked where the deeper 0.1 mbar Busch specification is required.
Closely Matched Capacity
The LC205 provides 205 m³/h at 50Hz compared with 200 m³/h from the Busch RA 0205D.
Same Motor Rating
Both pumps have a stated motor rating of 5.5 kW at 50Hz and 6.6 kW at 60Hz.
Cost-Effective Alternative
The LC205 may provide a more economical replacement option where the application does not specifically require the Busch model.
