Technical Specifications and Usage Notes

• Product Code: 01 57 37  |  Model: Artiko VB130 (new series)
• Type: Single-stage rotary vane
• Flow Rate: 85 L/min @50Hz · 100 L/min @60Hz (3/3.6 CFM)
• Ultimate Vacuum: 150 microns
• Motor: 1/4 HP, 220V~50Hz / 110V~60Hz

• Size / Weight: 281×123×230 mm / 5.8 kg

• 🔧 Check the oil level every time you use it. The middle of the sight glass is the reference; low oil spoils the vacuum depth, excess oil is expelled from the exhaust.
• Change the oil after a wet system. Vacuum oil absorbs moisture; with oil that has turned milky you cannot reach 150 microns.
• Verify the vacuum with a manifold/vacuum gauge and when the target is reached, first close the valve and then stop the pump — this prevents oil backflow.
