Key LC12 Features
Oil Check Valve
The oil check valve helps isolate the equipment and restrict oil suck-back when the pump is stopped under vacuum.
Exhaust Mist Eliminator
The exhaust mist eliminator helps reduce oil mist emissions and supports cleaner operation when the pump is correctly maintained.
Floating Oil Recovery Valve
The floating oil recovery valve helps return separated oil to the pump and supports efficient oil circulation during operation.
Continuous Gas Ballast
The continuously operating gas ballast helps improve the pump’s ability to manage moisture and condensable vapours entering the vacuum system.
Repair or Replace Your Existing Pump?
Replacement is not always the only answer. If your existing vacuum pump is in reasonable condition, a service or repair may be more economical.
Replacement may make more sense if the pump is badly worn, repeatedly failing, using excessive oil, running hot, becoming noisy or if spare parts are becoming difficult to obtain.
We can help compare the options and advise whether your best route is repair, refurbishment, a direct replacement or a DVP alternative.
