Our oil-free vacuum pumps for a range of applications
Applications and requirements
Dürr Technik manufactures small, premium piston vacuum pumps for a variety of applications. Vacuum is required in industries such as manufacturing, laboratories, medical technology and mechanical engineering. The range of applications is virtually endless, extending from the coating of UV glass and the production of microchips to the handling of circuit boards and the manufacture of analytical and measuring equipment, for example for drug development. Different vacuum pump technologies are used depending on the application. Our high-quality vacuum pumps meet the specific requirements of each application: in medicine or environmental technology, for example, a constant pumping capacity over a long period is essential. Laboratory work requires a low-vibration vacuum pump that operates as quietly as possible, as the user is often working right next to it.
To ensure that everything runs smoothly in these applications, Dürr Technik develops particularly compact, high-quality oil-free vacuum pumps. These are the first choice for any task requiring long running times where maintenance is virtually impossible. The pumping capacity ranges from 25 l/min to 150 l/min. The pumps are flanged directly onto the motor, making them particularly compact. They are ideal for installation in machinery. High-quality precision bearings guarantee a long service life and a low, pleasant noise level.
Overview: Features and benefits of oil-free vacuum pumps
Oil-free piston vacuum pumps from Dürr Technik are characterised by:
- low noise levels
- long service life
- maintenance-free
- a very robust and durable design
Examples of applications for an oil-free vacuum pump
- Handling, e.g. vacuum lifters or pneumatic controls
- Measurement technology, e.g. physical measuring instruments for leak tests or aluminium density index testers
- Medical sector, e.g. Compressed air for secretion extractors, disinfection units or cryolipolysis, orthopaedic technology
- Jewellery industry, e.g. kilns, wax casting
- Dental industry, ceramic kilns
- Rail transport, e.g. vacuum toilets
- Packaging industry, e.g. Suction of cardboard packaging
- Environmental technology
- Laboratory, e.g. for gas analysis
Discover an overview of the three series of oil-free piston vacuum pumps
KV8 Series
The KV8 series of oil-free piston vacuum pumps from Dürr Technik can be easily transported and used in both vertical and horizontal installation positions. These oil-free piston vacuum pumps are virtually maintenance-free, which is a decisive advantage, particularly for built-in models.
As there is no need for oil changes or servicing, operating costs are very low. This means that using these high-quality oil-free vacuum pumps also makes good economic sense.
Key features of the KV8 series:
- extremely long service life
- low noise level
- compact design
- high ultimate vacuum
- Constant flow rate


KV15 series
The oil-free piston vacuum pumps in the KV15 series are used in applications where maximum operational reliability is required – for example, in 24-hour operation, for retaining hydraulic oils, in the servicing of construction machinery and in medical equipment.
As two-stage vacuum pumps, they achieve a vacuum of up to 30 mbar. Oversized bearings ensure maximum service life and reliability. Thanks to precisely matched components, the pumping speed remains virtually unchanged even after many thousands of operating hours.
- Extremely reliable thanks to optimally matched premium components
- exceptionally long service life
- Constant air delivery
- tried-and-tested piston principle
KV40 Series – Constant flow rate during continuous operation
Dürr Technik manufactures small, premium piston vacuum pumps using oil-free technology. These piston vacuum pumps are characterised by a long service life, high reliability and maintenance-free operation. Furthermore, they offer virtually constant pumping capacity, even after many thousands of operating hours.In environmental technology in particular, these vacuum pumps operate continuously – day and night for many years. However, their strengths also come into their own in medical equipment and in the handling sector.
Key features of the KV40 series:
- virtually constant flow rate even after thousands of operating hours
- compact design
- low noise level
- exceptionally reliable
- High ultimate vacuum up to 30 mbar (2-stage)
- Maintenance-free
- Long service life thanks to reinforced bearing design
- 100% duty cycle
