Oil-free industrial rotary vane vacuum pump for very large components, high air volumes and continuous operation.
With a nominal pumping speed of 10 m³/h – approx. 167 l/min – the VT 4.10 provides by far the highest pumping capacity in this R&G vacuum pump range. It is particularly suitable for large moulds and extensive vacuum setups in aerospace, boatbuilding and industrial composites processing.
The VT 4.10 is a dry-running rotary vane vacuum pump designed for applications where large volumes of air must be evacuated quickly. With a nominal pumping speed of 10 m³/h, it delivers approximately three times the air volume of the P3, making it particularly advantageous for very large moulds, vacuum bags and extensive hose systems.
Unlike the diaphragm pumps, the VT 4.10 operates on the dry-running rotary vane principle. Self-lubricating vanes enable completely oil-free operation. No oil changes are required, reducing maintenance compared with oil-lubricated rotary vane pumps.
The ultimate vacuum is 150 mbar absolute. The VT 4.10 therefore does not achieve as deep a vacuum as the P1-N, P2-N and P3, each rated at 100 mbar absolute, or the P3-SPECIAL at 13 mbar absolute. Its key advantage is the significantly higher pumping capacity. For large components, rapid evacuation of the total air volume is therefore often more important than achieving the deepest possible vacuum.
Which vacuum pump is the right choice?
P1-N
6 l/min · 100 mbar abs.
Small components, model making and smaller vacuum pressing applications
P2-N
30 l/min · 100 mbar abs.
General-purpose vacuum applications and larger moulds
P3
55 l/min · 100 mbar abs.
Large components and high pumping capacity
P3-SPECIAL
30 l/min · 13 mbar abs.
Vacuum infusion and applications requiring particularly deep vacuum
VT 4.10
10 m³/h (approx. 167 l/min) · 150 mbar abs.
Very large components, high air flow and continuous industrial operation
Selection guide: The VT 4.10 is the right choice when very high pumping capacity and rapid evacuation are the primary requirements for large vacuum setups. Where a deeper ultimate vacuum is required, the diaphragm pumps offer advantages; within this range, the P3-SPECIAL is specifically designed for applications requiring particularly deep vacuum.

Practical note: For very large moulds, pumping capacity is particularly important during the initial evacuation phase. The high air flow of the VT 4.10 significantly reduces the time required to reach the operating vacuum and also provides greater reserve capacity for extensive hose systems and unavoidable minor leaks.
Maintenance: Thanks to its dry-running and oil-free design, maintenance requirements are low; in particular, no oil changes are required. Depending on operating conditions, the integrated inlet filter should be inspected and cleaned regularly. Depending on the contamination level of the intake air, the manufacturer recommends an interval of 40 to 200 operating hours. If cleaning is no longer sufficient, the filter cartridge can simply be replaced. The matching filter cartridge, Art. No. 3901031-FP1, is available as a spare part. The dry-running vanes are also wear parts and should be inspected regularly in accordance with the maintenance instructions. Further information and maintenance intervals can be found in the operating instructions.
