Key LC40 Features
Continuous Operation
The LC40 is suitable for continuous operation across its specified working range when correctly selected, installed and maintained.
Oil Filtration and By-pass
An oil filter with by-pass supports reliable lubrication and helps protect the pump during normal industrial operation.
Gas Ballast Control
The gas ballast with manual cut-off valve helps the pump deal with applications where vapour handling may be required.
Oil Mist and Recovery System
The exhaust mist eliminator and automatic floating oil recovery valve help control oil mist and support clean operation.
Repair or Replace Your Existing Pump?
If your existing pump is generally in good condition, repair or servicing may still be the most economical route.
Replacement with a new DVP LC40 may be the better choice if the old pump is losing vacuum, running hot, producing oil mist, becoming noisy, repeatedly failing or causing production downtime.
We can compare the condition of your current pump against the cost and benefit of fitting a new LC40 or another DVP model.
