Becker Becker VTLF
Becker dry-running rotary vane vacuum pumps for industrial rough vacuum.
The VTLF series comprises Becker dry-running rotary vane vacuum pumps, intended for rough vacuum applications that do not allow oil contamination. The vanes are made of a self-lubricating graphite-based compound, developed specially by the manufacturer, so the pump does not need oil changes. The type code indicates the relative capacity: for example VTLF 2.200 or VTLF 2.500, where the final number rises with capacity and motor power.
The capacities in the range run from about 178 m³/h to 570 m³/h, depending on model and mains frequency (50 or 60 Hz), and the vacuum level reached varies between 100 and 350 mbar absolute, depending on the version. For a quotation, the customer sends the type code from the pump nameplate or the required capacity and the desired vacuum level; we bring the pump in on order from the European Union, in 1–4 weeks.

Frequently asked questions
What information do I send for a quotation on a VTLF pump?
The type code from the pump nameplate (for example VTLF 2.250) or, if it is missing, the required capacity in m³/h and the desired vacuum level in mbar. Also state the mains frequency available, 50 or 60 Hz.
What do we check before quoting for the VTLF series?
We do not confirm from our own sources whether an older version has been technically replaced by another; we check the manufacturer's current catalogue each time and mention any successor indicated there. We do not promise delivery from stock.
Do VTLF pumps need oil changes?
No; the vanes are made of a self-lubricating graphite-based compound developed by the manufacturer, so maintenance is reduced and does not involve periodic oil changes, unlike oil-lubricated versions.
We do not confirm from our own sources the full performance curves at unusual altitudes or temperatures; we provide them from the manufacturer's documentation on request.
