Laboratory vacuum pump KV 15

medicalpistonoil-free

Product overview
Dürr Technik offers compact oil-free piston vacuum pumps in the KV8, KV15 and KV40 series for industrial, laboratory and medical applications. These flanged-on motor pumps deliver steady suction flow from approximately 25 l/min to 150 l/min. Selected two-stage variants reach ultimate vacuum levels down to about 30 mbar. Precision bearings and a compact, mounted design enable long service life and low noise emissions.

Key advantages

• Oil-free operation (no oil changes)
• Low noise levels
• Long service life with reinforced bearings on selected models
• Compact, motor-flanged design for easy integration
• Constant flow rate over long operating hours

Applications

• Handling and vacuum lifting systems
• Measurement and leak-testing equipment
• Medical devices (e.g. suction units, disinfection and cryolipolysis systems, orthopaedics)
• Jewellery and dental kilns, wax casting
• Rail vehicle vacuum systems (vacuum toilets)
• Packaging suction (cardboard handling)
• Environmental technology and gas analysis in laboratories

Series: KV8
Compact, portable units suitable for vertical or horizontal installation. KV8 models are ideal where space is limited and service access is restricted. They require minimal maintenance and provide a reliable, steady suction flow.

Series: KV15
Designed for applications requiring high operational reliability, including continuous or 24/7 use. Two-stage KV15 variants reach up to ~30 mbar ultimate vacuum. Oversized bearings and matched components preserve pumping performance after many thousands of operating hours.

Series: KV40
Engineered for continuous duty with a virtually constant flow rate over long periods. KV40 is suited to environmental technology, medical equipment and heavy handling tasks. Key attributes include 100% duty cycle capability (depending on variant), high ultimate vacuum in two-stage versions and reinforced bearing design for extended lifetime.

Technical specifications (summary)

• Pumping capacity: approx. 25–150 l/min depending on series and type
• Ultimate vacuum: up to ~30 mbar for two-stage models (KV15, KV40)
• Design: oil-free piston pumps, directly flanged to motor (compact)
• Duty: continuous operation possible for selected variants (KV15/KV40)
• Noise level: varies by model, generally optimized for near-operator use
• Maintenance: oil-free, minimal routine service
• Electrical options: single- and three-phase voltages (e.g. 115/230/400 V) and 12/24 V variants
• Protection classes: IP20 to IP54 depending on model
• Motor power P1 and weights: wide range across models (see technical table for exact values)
• Note: listed flow rates refer to 50 Hz variants; approx. +18% at 60 Hz
