DVP VA2/100PV & VA2/140PV Combined Vacuum and Pressure Pumps
Higher-capacity dry-running rotary vane pumps supplying vacuum and positive pressure for printing presses, paper handling systems and industrial machinery from one compact unit.
The DVP VA2/100PV and VA2/140PV are designed for machines that need strong suction for lifting, holding or transporting materials together with pressure air for sheet separation, flotation and controlled blowing. Their increased airflow makes them particularly suitable for larger sheet-fed presses and demanding print-finishing equipment.

Our team can check the pump model, motor details, duty and application before recommending the most suitable option.
High-Capacity Vacuum and Pressure From One Pump
The VA2 PV Series combines suction and pressure duties within one dry-running rotary vane pump. This avoids the need for separate vacuum and blowing units, helping reduce installation space, pipework and the number of components built into the machine.
Dual Air Functions
Vacuum supports sheet lifting and transport, while positive pressure provides separation air, flotation and controlled blowing.
Higher Airflow
Capacities up to 150 m³/h at 60 Hz make these models suitable for larger machines and more demanding air requirements.
Controlled Cooling
A powerful fan positioned between the pump housing and motor helps maintain effective cooling during extended production duties.
Accessible Vane Service
The removable front grille gives direct access to the graphite vanes without removing the complete protective housing.
Built for Larger Printing and Paper Handling Equipment
Throughout a sheet-fed press, vacuum lifts and controls individual sheets while pressure air separates the stack, supports air flotation and assists reliable movement through the feeder, printing units and delivery. Both air functions must remain stable as machine speed and sheet format increase.
The DVP VA2/100PV and VA2/140PV provide these suction and blowing duties from one higher-capacity pump. They can support larger printing presses, feeders, folders, collators and finishing machines where the smaller VA2 PV models do not provide sufficient airflow.
Specialist Printing Industry Support
Our sister company, Printers Superstore, supplies printing machinery rollers, spare parts and vacuum pump support to the printing and print-finishing sectors. This practical machinery knowledge allows us to assess the complete press application rather than matching a replacement pump by model number alone.
Typical suction and blowing functions used across a sheet-fed printing press.
Combined Pumps for High-Capacity Printing Press Applications
Larger sheet-fed offset presses and production finishing machines often require greater volumes of both suction and pressure air. Vacuum controls sheet pickup and transfer, while blowing air separates sheets, supports feeder operation and maintains controlled movement through the machine.
The DVP VA2/100PV and VA2/140PV can be considered for equipment from Ryobi and RMGT, Heidelberg, Komori and MAN Roland where the required airflow falls within their operating range. Final selection must also account for vacuum and pressure duties, motor specification, pipe connections, physical dimensions and the original machine installation.
Ryobi and RMGT Printing Presses
Higher-volume vacuum and blowing air for sheet feeders, separation, transfer and delivery systems on larger Ryobi and RMGT presses.
Heidelberg Printing Presses
Combined air duties used for sheet control and paper handling across Heidelberg sheet-fed printing equipment.
Komori Printing Presses
Vacuum and pressure pump support for sheet feeding, separation, transfer and delivery on Komori machinery.
MAN Roland Printing Presses
Replacement and application support for combined pumps fitted to Roland and MAN Roland sheet-fed presses.
Production Print Finishing
Folders, collators, gatherers, binding lines and other equipment needing sustained suction and positive pressure.
Printing Pump Selection
Send the existing pump nameplate or press details so we can check the required combined vacuum and pressure performance.
Alternatives to Becker and Elmo Rietschle Combined Pumps
High-capacity combined vacuum and pressure pumps from Becker and Elmo Rietschle are fitted to many printing presses and paper-handling machines. Where an existing unit requires replacement, the DVP VA2/100PV or VA2/140PV may offer a suitable alternative after the complete duty and installation have been checked.
The comparisons below are a practical starting point rather than an automatic like-for-like selection. Vacuum level, pressure output, airflow, motor details, pipework and mounting dimensions must all be confirmed against the original pump and machine requirements.
| Existing Pump | Typical DVP Alternative | Nominal Capacity at 50 Hz |
|---|---|---|
| Becker DVT 3.100 | DVP VA2/100PV | 100 m³/h |
| Becker DVT 3.140 | DVP VA2/140PV | 130 m³/h |
| Elmo Rietschle KTA 100/1 | DVP VA2/100PV | 100 m³/h |
| Elmo Rietschle KTA 140/1 | DVP VA2/140PV | 130 m³/h |
Need Help Checking a Replacement Pump?
Send us a photograph of the existing pump nameplate together with the machine model and any available installation details. Our engineers can compare current and obsolete combined vacuum and pressure pumps used on Ryobi, RMGT, Heidelberg, Komori, MAN Roland and other printing equipment.
Typical Applications
Although printing and paper handling are the principal applications, the VA2/100PV and VA2/140PV can also serve other industrial machines requiring higher-volume vacuum and pressure air from one pump.
Large Sheet-Fed Presses
Suction and blowing duties for pickup, separation, transfer and delivery.
High-Speed Paper Feeders
Stable vacuum pickup with pressure air for dependable sheet separation.
Folding and Converting
Controlled paper movement through larger folding and converting systems.
Print-Finishing Lines
Gathering, collating, booklet making, binding and associated production equipment.
Packaging Equipment
Material handling processes using suction together with positive pressure air.
Industrial Automation
Lifting, positioning, separation and conveying where both air functions are needed.
Cooling, Vane Life and Practical Maintenance
A dedicated fan installed between the pump housing and motor provides strong cooling airflow. Keeping internal temperature under control supports graphite vane life and dependable operation during long production runs.
The sturdy enclosed housing helps keep operating noise low while protecting the pump in an industrial environment. For routine maintenance, the front grille can be removed to inspect and replace the vanes without dismantling the complete outer cover.
Optimised suction and discharge phases support efficient operation across the working range. Energy consumption remains consistent from atmospheric pressure to the stated final pressure, helping machinery operators plan predictable running costs.
