DVP CB12 Dry-Running Rotary Vane Pressure Pump
Oil-free pressure generation in a compact format for construction equipment and other machinery requiring up to 14 m³/h of clean compressed air.
The DVP CB12 is a small industrial rotary vane compressor designed to provide dependable pressure air without oil in the compression chamber. Its monobloc arrangement places the rotor directly on the motor shaft, helping minimise overall dimensions and reduce installation weight.
Lightweight alloy components make the CB12 suitable for compact machine installations, while the integral motor fan provides cooling during operation. The surrounding area must still allow sufficient airflow to prevent heat build-up.

Technical Data for the DVP CB12
The CB12 provides a higher nominal capacity than the CB10 while using the same motor ratings and maximum overpressure. Output depends on whether the pump operates at 50Hz or 60Hz.
| Model | Nominal Capacity m³/h 50Hz / 60Hz |
Maximum Overpressure bar 50Hz / 60Hz |
Motor Power kW 50Hz / 60Hz |
|---|---|---|---|
| DVP CB12 | 12 / 14 | 0.6 / 0.6 | 0.37 / 0.45 |
Built for Compact Industrial Equipment
Direct Rotor Drive
Mounting the rotor directly on the motor shaft creates a compact drive arrangement without a separate coupling or transmission system.
Lightweight Construction
The use of lightweight alloys helps limit both size and mass, making integration into smaller machines and equipment easier.
Filtered Air Intake
A protective inlet filter helps reduce the risk of debris entering the compressor and supports reliable internal operation.
Where the CB12 Pressure Pump Is Used
DVP identifies the construction industry as the principal application area for the CB12. Its compact form and oil-free operation also make it suitable for other equipment needing a modest, controlled supply of pressure air.
Construction machinery and related equipment
Compact industrial air systems
Machine builders requiring an oil-free compressor
Installations with limited mounting space
Ventilation Is Important
Although the CB12 can be installed in a restricted space, the motor fan must have access to a suitable flow of cooling air. Allow adequate clearance and avoid enclosing the pump where hot air cannot escape.

DVP CB12 Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CB12 a dry-running compressor?
Yes. It uses oil-free rotary vane technology, so no oil is introduced into the compression chamber.
How much air does the CB12 deliver?
Nominal capacity is 12 m³/h at 50Hz and 14 m³/h at 60Hz.
What is the maximum CB12 overpressure?
The published maximum overpressure is 0.6 bar at both operating frequencies.
How does the CB12 differ from the CB10?
The CB12 provides a higher nominal capacity of 12 / 14 m³/h, compared with 10 / 12 m³/h for the CB10. Both models have the same stated overpressure and motor power ratings.
Does the CB12 include an inlet filter?
Yes. A protective inlet filter is included to help prevent particles entering the compressor.
Can the CB12 be fitted inside machinery?
Yes, provided there is sufficient installation space and ventilation for the integral motor fan to cool the unit correctly.
