DVP SB10 Overview
The DVP SB10 is a compact dry-running rotary vane vacuum pump built around a monoblock industrial design, with the rotor mounted directly on the motor shaft.
This arrangement helps reduce the number of drive components while keeping the overall pump dimensions and weight low. The lightweight alloy construction makes the SB10 suitable for machinery where available space is limited.
The pump provides a nominal capacity of 10 m³/h at 50Hz and 12 m³/h at 60Hz, with an ultimate vacuum of 120 mbar absolute.
Cooling is provided by the motor fan, so the pump should be installed where adequate ventilation is available around the motor and pump body.
In addition to vacuum duty, the SB10 can operate as a compressor at pressures up to 0.6 bar where the application and operating conditions are suitable.
Typical Applications
The DVP SB10 is used within compact industrial equipment where oil-free vacuum, moderate airflow and straightforward machine integration are required.
Food and beverage machinery
Packaging equipment
Plastic, rubber and resin processing
Analytical and laboratory systems
Pollutant sampling and analysis
Printing and paper machinery
Silk-screen printing machines
Wood presses
Vacuum lifting and handling equipment
Construction and specialist OEM machinery
Why Choose the DVP SB10?
The SB10 is particularly useful where a machinery designer needs approximately 10 m³/h of oil-free vacuum capacity without the footprint or weight of a larger separately coupled pump.
Its direct-drive monoblock design, lightweight alloy construction and motor-fan cooling make it well suited to compact industrial and OEM installations. The inlet protective filter and outlet silencer are included as standard.
Vacuum Pumps UK can support the SB10 with pump selection, replacement advice, service support, accessories, spare parts and technical assistance.
Key SB10 Features
Monoblock Construction
The rotor is mounted directly on the motor shaft, helping create a compact direct-drive pump with fewer transmission components.
Lightweight Pump Design
The extensive use of lightweight alloy helps reduce the pump’s overall weight and makes it easier to integrate into compact machinery.
Inlet Protection
A protective filter is fitted at the inlet to help reduce the entry of contamination into the pumping chamber.
Vacuum or Pressure Operation
The SB10 can provide oil-free vacuum or operate as a compressor at pressures up to 0.6 bar where the application is suitable.
DVP SB10 or SB10TV?
The standard SB10 is intended for general oil-free vacuum and pressure duties and is supplied with an outlet silencer.
The SB10TV uses special gaskets to provide improved air tightness and is intended for applications where the pump forms part of a sealed circuit.
Vacuum Pumps UK lists the two pumps separately so customers can review the version most relevant to their machinery. Our technical team can confirm whether the standard SB10 or the SB10TV is more suitable for the application.
Dry-Running Carbon Vanes
The SB10 uses self-lubricating carbon vanes which slide within slots in the rotor and maintain contact with the pump chamber as the rotor turns.
The vanes are wearing components and should be inspected during planned maintenance. Their service life can be influenced by operating hours, temperature, inlet contamination, filter condition, vacuum level and the number of starts and stops.
Replacing worn vanes before they reach their minimum permitted length can help prevent damage to the rotor, pump chamber and end plates.
Vacuum Pumps UK and our sister company, VacAir Superstore, can supply replacement carbon vanes, filters, seals, gaskets and service components for the DVP SB10.
Vacuum Pump or Compressor Operation
The DVP SB10 can operate as either a dry-running vacuum pump or a compact compressor at pressures up to 0.6 bar.
The suitability of the pump depends on the required flow, pressure or vacuum level, operating cycle and installation conditions.
Our technical team can review the intended duty before confirming whether the SB10 is appropriate for vacuum or pressure operation.
Repair or Replace Your Existing Pump?
If the existing pump is mechanically sound, replacement vanes, filters, seals or a workshop repair may restore its vacuum performance and extend its operating life.
Replacement may be more practical where the pump is repeatedly failing, running hot, becoming noisy, losing capacity or has suffered internal damage after the vanes have worn or broken.
We can compare servicing, repair and replacement before recommending the most appropriate option.
Replacement Pump Guide
Replacing a Compact Dry-Running Pump?
The SB10 may provide a suitable replacement where approximately 10 m³/h of oil-free vacuum capacity is required from a compact direct-drive pump.
Replacing a Becker VT 4.10?
The DVP SB10 can be considered as an alternative to the Becker VT 4.10 where the pumping speed, vacuum level, motor specification, connections and dimensions are compatible.
Replacing an Elmo Rietschle VTE 10?
The SB10 may provide a suitable alternative to the Elmo Rietschle VTE 10, subject to confirmation of the required capacity, ultimate vacuum, motor and installation arrangement.
Replacing a Busch SV 1010 C?
The DVP SB10 can also be assessed as an alternative to the Busch Seco SV 1010 C. The application, electrical supply, pipe connections and operating duty should be checked before confirming compatibility.
