DVP SC60 Overview
The DVP SC60 is an industrial dry-running rotary vane vacuum pump designed for applications requiring higher oil-free airflow from a robust and relatively compact pump package.
It provides a nominal pumping capacity of 60 m³/h at 50Hz and 70 m³/h at 60Hz, with a stated ultimate vacuum of 150 mbar absolute. This makes it suitable for applications where dependable airflow is more important than achieving deep vacuum.
A powerful cooling fan is installed between the pump housing and the motor. This arrangement helps control the internal operating temperature and supports the service life of the graphite vanes.
The pump is enclosed within a sturdy, compact housing designed to reduce operating noise and protect the internal components. A protective filter is fitted at the inlet, while a silencer is fitted at the outlet.
Optimised suction and discharge phases help improve energy efficiency, with DVP stating that energy consumption remains stable as the pump operates from atmospheric pressure towards its ultimate vacuum.
Typical SC60 Applications
The DVP SC60 is particularly suited to machinery requiring a dependable flow of oil-free air for conveying, handling or packaging processes.
Pneumatic conveying by suction
Packaging and packing machinery
Automated material handling
CNC Vacuum hold down beds
Suction cup lifting and transfer
Printing and paper-handling machinery
Woodworking production equipment
General industrial OEM machinery
Clean, oil-free vacuum systems
Why Choose the DVP SC60?
The SC60 provides a useful step up in airflow from the smaller SC16, SC25 and SC40 pumps while retaining the clean operation and straightforward maintenance associated with a dry-running rotary vane design.
The enclosed housing helps limit operating noise, while the cooling arrangement supports lower internal temperatures and longer graphite-vane life. Its removable front grille also allows the vanes to be inspected and replaced without dismantling the complete outer conveyor casing.
Vacuum Pumps UK can assist with SC60 selection, replacement comparisons, service support, accessories, spare parts and technical advice.
Key SC60 Features
Higher-Capacity Oil-Free Vacuum
The SC60 provides 60 m³/h at 50Hz and 70 m³/h at 60Hz without introducing lubricating oil into the pumping chamber.
Effective Pump Cooling
A powerful fan positioned between the pump housing and motor helps control the internal operating temperature and support dependable performance.
Low-Noise Enclosed Housing
The sturdy external housing protects the pump and helps keep operating noise at a relatively low level.
Direct Vane Access
The removable front grille gives direct access to the graphite vanes, allowing inspection and replacement without dismantling the complete outer casing.
Choosing Between the SC40, SC60 and SC80
The SC40, SC60 and SC80 are all dry-running rotary vane vacuum pumps, but each provides a different level of airflow.
The SC40 delivers 40 m³/h at 50Hz and is suitable for more moderate airflow requirements. The SC60 increases nominal capacity to 60 m³/h, while the SC80 provides 80 m³/h for larger systems and applications with greater air demand.
The SC60 and SC80 share the enclosed acoustic housing, powerful cooling arrangement and removable front grille for easier access to the graphite vanes.
We can review the machine volume, leakage rate, cycle time and normal operating vacuum before advising which model offers the best fit.
Graphite Vanes and Planned Maintenance
The SC60 uses durable self-lubricating graphite vanes to form the moving pumping chambers required for dry-running vacuum generation.
During operation, the vanes remain in contact with the internal bore and gradually shorten through normal wear. Inspection intervals should reflect the pump’s running hours, inlet cleanliness, temperature, operating vacuum and duty cycle.
The cooling system helps maintain a lower internal operating temperature, supporting vane durability and service life.
The removable front grille provides direct access to the vanes for inspection and replacement. This allows routine vane maintenance to be completed without removing the complete outer conveyor casing.
Vacuum Pumps UK and our sister company, VacAir Superstore, can provide graphite vanes, filters, seals, gaskets and service parts for the DVP SC60.
Optimised Energy Consumption
The suction and discharge phases of the SC60 have been optimised to improve energy efficiency across its normal operating range.
The pump’s energy consumption does not increase as the pressure moves from atmospheric pressure towards the stated ultimate vacuum.
This can be valuable on production machinery where the pump operates for extended periods or remains in continuous service throughout a working shift.
Should You Repair or Replace the Existing Pump?
A dry-running 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 SC60 offers the better long-term result.
