High performance in a compact design – Built for suction vehicles up to 5 m³
The VacuStar L 400 is an air-cooled rotary vane compressor-vacuum pump, engineered specifically for compact suction vehicles with tank capacities of up to 5 m³. Its efficient design, robust construction, and versatile drive options make it the ideal solution for municipal, industrial, and environmental applications.
Intelligent design for reliable operation
The VacuStar L 400 operates on the multi-vane (rotary vane) principle:
A rotor equipped with sliding vanes rotates within a cylindrical housing.
During rotation, chambers form that increase in volume during suction and decrease during compression.
The system is air-cooled and optimized for vehicle integration, requiring no external water or oil cooling.
Equipped with an easy-to-read oil sight glass, a four-way change-over valve (for pressure and vacuum modes), and cell ventilation ports for enhanced operational control.
