4.2 Description
The V-VTA model range has a connecting thread on the suction side and an exhaust silencer on the pressure
side. The aspirated air is cleaned by an inbuilt fine micro filter. The carbon dust caused by the scoring of the
blades can be separated by an integral filter if necessary. A fan between the compressor housing and the
motor provides intensive air cooling. The compressor housing is located in a sound cover.
The machines are driven by standard flanged three-phase motors using a coupling.
A vacuum regulating valve (Fig. 2/C) is used to set the vacuum to the required values with an upper limit.
Versions (01) to (30) have cooling exits from two sides whilst versions (31) to (60) have cooling exits on one
side only.
These dry running rotary vane vacuum pumps V-VTA 60, V-VTA 80, V-VTA 100 and V-VTA 140 are suitable
for evacuating closed systems and for a permanent vacuum in the intake pressure range 150 - 1000 mbar
(abs.).
The pumping capacity with unrestricted suction is 60, 80, 100 and 140 m3/h at 50 Hz. Data sheet D 250
shows the dependency of the pumping capacity on the intake pressure.
These dry running machines are suitable for conveying air with a relative humidity of 30 - 90%.
If the unit is switched on more frequently (at regular intervals of about 12 times (V-VTA 60 / 80)
resp. 10 times (V-VTA 100 / 140) an hour) or at higher ambient temperatures and intake tempera-
tures, the excess temperature limit of the motor winding and the bearings may be exceeded.
Please contact the manufacturer should the unit be used under such conditions
If it is installed in the open air the unit must be protected from environmental influences, (e.g. by a
protective roof).

5.1 Preparing for installation
5.2 Installation
NOTICE
It is possible to install the machine on a firm base without anchoring. When installing on a substruc-
ture we recommend fixing with flexible buffers

DANGER
NOTICE
Power supply
The conditions at the installation location must match
the information on the motor data plate. Without
derating the following is permissible:
• ± 5% voltage deviation
• ± 2% frequency deviation
WARNING
Improper use
May lead to severe or fatal injuries. Therefore be
sure to obey the safety instructions.
CAUTION
Hot surfaces
When the machine is at operating temperature the
surface temperatures on the components (Fig. 2/
Q) may go above 70°C. You must avoid touching
the hot surfaces (marked with warning plates).
CAUTION
Noise emission
The highest noise pressure levels measured as
per EN ISO 3744 are given in Section 9. When
spending a long time in the vicinity of the running
machine use ear protectors to avoid permanent
damage to your hearing.
NOTICE
Trockenbeutel
The desiccant bags in the filter housing (Fig. 2/S)
must be removed before initial start-up.
NOTICE
DANGER
WARNING
Hot surfaces
During maintenance work there is the danger of
getting burnt on hot components (Fig. 2/Q) of the
machine.
Wait for the machine to cool down.
Regular maintenance work must be carried out in order to ensure operational safety.
Maintenance intervals also depend on the operational demands on the machine.
With any work observe the safety instructions described in Section 2.8 “Safety notes for installation, com-
missioning and maintenance”.
The whole unit should always be kept in a clean condition.
7.2.1 Lubrication
7.2.2 Blades
Blade check:
V-VTA models have 4 carbon blades that gradually
wear out during operation.
First check after 4,000 operating hours and then
every 1,000 operationg hours or, depending on the
height (Fig. 6/X) earlier.
Remove inlet grating (Fig. 4/G). To remove the end
cover (Fig. 5/b) from the housing, the bolt (Fig. 5/a)
located in the centre of the bearing cover (Fig. 5/c)
should be removed. To achieve this one of the fix-
ing bolts (Fig. 5/s) from the housing cover should be
screwed into the thread in the centre of the bearing
cover. Remove the blades (Fig. 6/d) to be checked.
All blades on the machine must have a minimum
height (Fig. 6/X) of more than 38 mm.
The blades must only be changed as a set.
Changing blades:
If the minimum height has already been reached or
if the blades have fallen below this level the whole
blade set must be changed.
NOTICE
a c Do not undo the slotted nuts (Fig. 4/w1) on the
housing lid (Fig. 5/b). Only the screws (Fig. 4/s) need
to be removed to change the blades.

Before refitting the blades clean out the housing
and the rotor slots with compressed air. Place the
d blades, with the radius outwards (Fig. 6/Y), such that
the bevel is in the direction of rotation (Fig. 6/O1) and
s corresponds with the radius of the housing (Fig. 6/
Z).
Fig. 5 Lubrication/ Blades Before refitting the end cover (Fig. 5/b) redistribute
the grease from the bearing cover (Fig. 5/c) on to
G1 Protective cover the appropriate bearing. It is important that the shaft
end is completely clean so that no grease can enter
a Bolt
the housing, this could mix together with carbon
b Housing lid dust and give a viscous paste which would result in
the blades becoming stuck in the rotor slots.
c Bearing cover
When re-fitting the end cover tighten the bolts even-
d Blade ly so that the end cover fits correctly onto the fixing
s Screws pins. As soon as the cover is almost touching the
housing, we recommend during further tightening of
the bolts, the fan is moved in both directions. This
can be achieved by taking the grill at the cooling air
exit (F) away. This then ensures that the blades are
sitting correctly in their slots and avoids any edge
damage. Refit the suction grid (Fig. 4/G).

Care should be taken that the bearing does not
