Elmo Rietschle VCEH250 Vacuum Pump
The Elmo Rietschle VCEH250 is an oil flooded rotary vane vacuum pump rated at 250 / 300 m³/h with a stated ultimate pressure of 10.0 mbar absolute.
The VCEH250 is the largest VCEH model in this group and provides considerably more air displacement for higher-volume industrial vacuum duties.

Elmo Rietschle VCEH250 Overview
The VCEH250 is the largest VCEH model in this group and provides considerably more air displacement for higher-volume industrial vacuum duties.
Oil lubricates and seals the pumping mechanism and assists heat control. The inlet filtration, oil condition and exhaust oil-mist separation are therefore important to reliable performance.
The published three-phase motor rating is 5.50 / 7.50 kW at 50Hz / 60Hz. Exact voltage and build should be confirmed from the existing pump nameplate.
Vacuum Pumps UK can assess replacement requirements, while VacAir Superstore can support existing pumps with parts, oil separators, oil, servicing and workshop repair.

| Model | Nominal Capacity m³/h 50Hz / 60Hz |
Ultimate Vacuum mbar abs. 50Hz / 60Hz |
Motor 3PH kW 50Hz / 60Hz |
| VCEH250 | 250 / 300 | 10.0 / 10.0 | 5.50 / 7.50 |
Typical Applications
› larger packaging machinery
› high-throughput production
› central vacuum systems
› plastics and composites
› printing and paper production
› industrial vacuum handling
Actual suitability depends on working pressure, pumping speed at that pressure, process gas, contamination and duty cycle. Replacement selection should therefore consider the complete machine or process.
Applications involving significant vapour or aggressive gases should be reviewed before selecting a standard oil lubricated pump.
DVP LC305
Oil lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump
305 / 365 m³/h
Comparable DVP Alternative
Consider the DVP LC305
The DVP LC305 is a capacity-up comparison at 305 / 365 m³/h rather than a like-for-like match. It also reaches a deeper 0.5 mbar absolute, so motor power, pipework, dimensions and process demand should be considered.
Final suitability should be checked against the duty point, mounting dimensions, inlet position, connection size, motor voltage and process conditions.
Vacuum Pumps UK is the UK and Ireland Master Agent for DVP Vacuum Technology.

| Nominal Capacity 60Hz | 300 m³/h | 365 m³/h |
| Ultimate Vacuum | 10.0 mbar abs. | 0.5 mbar abs. |
| Motor Power 50Hz | 5.50 kW | 7.5 kW |
| Motor Power 60Hz | 7.50 kW | 9.0 kW |
