DVP LC8 Overview
The DVP LC8 is a compact oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump suitable for small machinery, bench-top equipment and applications where a reliable source of vacuum is required without using a larger industrial pump.
With a nominal capacity of 8 m³/h at 50Hz and 9 m³/h at 60Hz, the LC8 provides increased capacity compared with the smaller LC2 and LC4 models while still remaining compact and easy to install.
For many customers, the LC8 is chosen as an equivalent duty replacement for an existing small vacuum pump, or as a practical DVP option for new machinery and compact vacuum installations.
Typical Applications
The DVP LC8 is used across a range of small vacuum applications where compact size, oil lubricated performance and reliable operation are important.
› Small vacuum packaging machines
› Dental suction equipment
› Medical and surgical extraction duties
› Resin mixing and dosing equipment
› Automatic feeder machines
› Book-binding machinery
› Wood presses and clamping
› Drilling machinery
› Tray loading systems
› Small machine vacuum systems
› General low-capacity vacuum applications
Why Choose the DVP LC8?
The LC8 is a good choice where a customer needs a compact, practical and well-supported oil lubricated vacuum pump with more capacity than the smaller LC2 and LC4 models.
It includes useful design features such as an oil check valve, exhaust mist eliminator, gravity oil recovery valve, thermal protector on single phase versions and an adjustable intake connection.
Vacuum Pumps UK can support the DVP LC8 with pump selection, replacement advice, service support, accessories, spare parts and technical assistance.
Key LC8 Features
Compact Design
The LC8 provides useful vacuum capacity in a compact pump design, making it suitable for smaller machinery and limited installation spaces.
Oil Check Valve
The oil check valve helps isolate the equipment when the pump is stopped under vacuum and helps prevent suck back.
Exhaust Mist Control
The in-built damping and recovery system helps control oil vapour at the exhaust when the pump is correctly maintained.
Adjustable Intake
The adjustable intake connection allows the user to position the intake to suit the installation using the special fitting.
Repair or Replace Your Existing Pump?
Replacement is not always the only answer. If your existing small 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 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.
