VacuStar L 400 – for small suction vehicles
Air-cooled rotary vane vacuum pump, also as compressor
The VacuStar L 400 is an air-cooled rotary vane vacuum pump for compact suction vehicles with a tank capacity of up to 5 m³. A four-way changeover valve switches between suction and pressure.
As a pure compressor, it delivers up to 2 bar for unloading small vehicles.
Flow rate
up to 345 m³/h
Vacuum
down to 100 mbar
Pressure
1.5 bar, compressor 2.0 bar
Cooling
Air
Why VacuStar L 400?
Air cooling requires no external water or oil cooling. A clearly visible oil sight glass and several drive options make installation and maintenance easy.

Frequently asked questions
What does cell ventilation mean?
Cell ventilation lets additional air flow into the pump. This lowers the discharge temperature and allows continuous operation at 100 mbar, i.e. around 90 % vacuum.
How is the compressor driven?
Depending on the vehicle, via power take-off and cardan shaft, V-belt or hydraulic motor. We work out with you and the body builder which drive is right.
Who supplies, installs and maintains it?
We do. As CVS representative, we supply compressors and vacuum pumps, advise on installation in the vehicle and take care of maintenance and repairs.
