DVP LC151 Overview
The DVP LC151 is a robust industrial oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump designed for continuous operation between atmospheric pressure and 0.1 mbar absolute.
With a nominal pumping speed of 151 m³/h at 50Hz and 181 m³/h at 60Hz, the LC151 is suitable for production machinery and industrial installations requiring high pumping capacity and dependable deep-vacuum performance.
The pump housing encloses only the necessary hazardous components, helping improve cooling while maintaining a clean, compact industrial design. Routine oil inspection, oil filling and service access are designed to remain straightforward.
Typical Applications
The DVP LC151 is used across a wide range of industrial processes where high pumping capacity, continuous operation and deep vacuum are required.
› Bag filling machines
› Precious metal vacuum casting machines
› Thermal treatment furnaces
› Vacuum lifting equipment
› OEM machine integration
› Printing and paper machinery
› CNC marble and glass machinery
› Dental applications
› Workshop equipment
› Industrial evacuation systems
› General continuous-duty vacuum processes
Why Choose the DVP LC151?
The LC151 is a strong option where a production environment requires high-capacity vacuum performance, continuous operation and straightforward long-term maintenance.
It combines a nominal capacity of 151 m³/h with an oil check valve, exhaust mist eliminator, automatic floating oil recovery valve, manually controlled gas ballast, shock mounts, oil filter with bypass and a flexible transmission coupling.
Vacuum Pumps UK can support the LC151 with pump selection, replacement advice, service support, accessories, spare parts and technical assistance.
Key LC151 Features
Deep Vacuum Performance
The LC151 is suitable for continuous operation from atmospheric pressure down to an ultimate vacuum of 0.1 mbar absolute.
Efficient Oil Separation
The exhaust mist eliminator, oil recovery system and automatic floating oil recovery valve help control oil carry-over and return separated oil to the pump.
Oil Filter with Bypass
The integrated oil filter supports cleaner lubrication, while the bypass arrangement helps maintain oil circulation under appropriate operating conditions.
Flexible Drive Coupling
The flexible motor-to-pump coupling supports smooth power transfer and reliable operation in demanding industrial applications.
Standard LC151 or LC151WR?
The standard LC151 is intended for comparatively dry industrial vacuum duties and offers a deeper ultimate vacuum of 0.1 mbar absolute.
Where high concentrations of water vapour or condensate regularly enter the vacuum system, the water-resistant LC151WR may be more appropriate, although its stated ultimate vacuum is 4 mbar absolute.
Our technical team can review the required vacuum level, process vapour, operating cycle and installation before advising which model is most suitable.
Repair or Replace Your Existing Pump?
Replacement is not always the only answer. If your existing pump is fundamentally sound, a service, repair or full overhaul may be more economical.
Replacement may make more sense if the pump is repeatedly failing, losing vacuum, using excessive oil, running hot, becoming noisy or if the cost of repair is approaching the cost of a replacement pump.
We can compare repair, refurbishment and replacement options before recommending the most practical route.
Replacement Pump Guide
Replacing an Industrial Rotary Vane Pump?
If your existing pump has become unreliable, noisy, expensive to maintain or is no longer achieving the required vacuum, the LC151 may provide a suitable replacement.
Replacing a Packaging Machine Pump?
The LC151 can be considered for larger vacuum packaging, bag filling and processing machinery where the required pumping speed and vacuum level are suitable.
Replacing a Furnace Pump?
For thermal treatment furnaces and similar processes, we can assess the chamber volume, evacuation time, operating pressure and process conditions before confirming suitability.
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. DVP pumps are well-regarded alternatives to brands such as Busch, Becker, Elmo Rietschle and Leybold.
Not Sure Which Pump You Need?
Do not worry if your existing pump or application is not listed above. Vacuum Pumps UK regularly helps customers replace vacuum pumps from many manufacturers, including older and obsolete models.
Send us the pump details, required vacuum level and a brief description of the application. We will recommend the nearest suitable DVP model.
