DVP SC25 Dry-Running Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump
The DVP SC25 is a medium-capacity dry-running rotary vane vacuum pump for production machinery that requires oil-free vacuum, compact construction and dependable industrial performance.
With a nominal capacity of 25 m³/h and an ultimate vacuum of 120 mbar absolute, the SC25 is positioned between the smaller SC16 and the higher-capacity SC40, making it a practical choice for a broad range of automated and process equipment.
Vacuum Pumps UK is the UK & Ireland Master Agent for DVP Vacuum Technology.

DVP SC25 Overview
The DVP SC25 is an industrial oil-free vacuum pump built around a direct-drive monoblock arrangement. The rotor is fitted directly to the motor shaft, producing a compact assembly without a separate belt or transmission coupling.
Its 25 m³/h pumping capacity gives machinery builders and end users a useful middle option within the SC16, SC25 and SC40 family. It offers noticeably more airflow than the SC16 without moving to the larger motor and pumping capacity of the SC40.
The pump reaches a stated ultimate vacuum of 120 mbar absolute and is intended for applications where clean dry-running operation is required rather than deep vacuum.
A rear centrifugal fan provides cooling across the pump assembly. The SC25 is also supplied with a protective filter at the inlet and a silencer at the exhaust.
Where suitable for the process, the SC25 may also be configured for compressor operation.
Typical Applications
The DVP SC25 is suited to machinery that needs a steady source of oil-free vacuum for handling, forming, conveying or process support.
Automated suction cup handling
Packing and packaging machinery
Woodworking production equipment
Wood and plastic vacuum presses
Automatic assembly machinery
Pneumatic conveying systems
Paint and coating installations
Plaster mixing equipment
Money handling and counting machines
General industrial OEM systems
Why Choose the DVP SC25?
The SC25 is a balanced choice for applications that have outgrown smaller dry-running pumps but do not need the full capacity of the SC40.
Its direct-drive construction keeps the package compact, while the 25 m³/h pumping speed provides enough airflow for a wide range of production machinery. Standard inlet protection, exhaust silencing and forced cooling further support integration into industrial equipment.
Vacuum Pumps UK can assist with SC25 selection, replacement comparisons, service support, accessories, spare parts and technical advice.
Key SC25 Features
Medium-Capacity Oil-Free Vacuum
A nominal pumping speed of 25 m³/h gives the SC25 useful capacity for production machinery without the oil circuit used by lubricated vane pumps.
Compact Direct-Drive Assembly
Mounting the rotor directly on the motor shaft reduces the number of drive components and helps keep the overall footprint compact.
Forced-Air Cooling
The rear centrifugal fan moves cooling air across the pump to support dependable operation when installed with adequate ventilation.
Inlet Filter and Exhaust Silencer
Standard inlet protection helps limit contamination, while the outlet silencer reduces exhaust noise from the pump.
Choosing Between the SC16, SC25 and SC40
All three pumps use the same general industrial monoblock concept, but each is intended for a different airflow requirement.
The SC16 is the smallest option in the group. The SC25 provides a clear increase in capacity for machinery with higher leakage or faster evacuation requirements, while the SC40 is intended for more demanding systems needing substantially greater airflow.
We can review the machine volume, leakage rate, cycle time and normal operating vacuum before advising which model offers the best fit.
Carbon Vanes and Planned Maintenance
The SC25 relies on self-lubricating carbon vanes to create the sealed pumping chambers needed for dry-running vacuum generation.
Because the vanes remain in contact with the internal bore, they gradually shorten during use. Inspection intervals should reflect the running hours, inlet cleanliness, temperature, vacuum level and operating pattern of the machine.
Timely vane replacement helps reduce the risk of a worn or broken vane damaging the rotor, cylinder or end plates.
Vacuum Pumps UK and our sister company, VacAir Superstore, can provide carbon vanes, filters, seals, gaskets and service parts for the DVP SC25.
Using the SC25 for Vacuum or Pressure
The DVP SC25 can be used as a dry-running vacuum pump and may also be suitable for compressor duty.
The correct selection depends on the required airflow, operating pressure or vacuum, duty cycle and surrounding conditions.
Our technical team can discuss the process with you before confirming whether the SC25 is suitable for the intended vacuum or pressure application.
Should You Repair or Replace the Existing Pump?
A pump that has gradually lost performance may only require new vanes, filtration, seals or workshop attention rather than complete replacement.
Replacement becomes more attractive where breakdowns are recurring, the pump runs excessively hot, noise levels have increased, capacity has fallen or internal damage has made repair uneconomical.
We can assess both options and help you decide whether servicing, overhaul or a new SC25 offers the better long-term result.
