The Vmax system offered by Dekker Vacuum Technologies is the result of years of experience in the design, manufacture, operation and application of the oil-sealed liquid ring vacuum system concept.

The VmaxVFD oil sealed vacuum systems are liquid ring vacuum pump systems that use oil as the seal liquid. The systems operate with a Variable Frequency Drive which reduces the speed of the vacuum pump when demand for vacuum decreases, resulting in substantial savings

If your application requires durability and reliability, the DVT Aquaseal system is the system of choice. Three types of system configurations are offered: once-through (no recovery), partial recovery and full recovery.

Dekker Aquaseal systems can be sealed with a wide variety of seal-fluids, depending on the application. If water usage is a concern, an Aquaseal full recovery package or a Vmax oil-sealed liquid ring vacuum pump system is available.

A number of different vacuum pump designs have been introduced onto the market in the past years, claiming to be the solution to difficult applications. These include the dry screw pump, the once-through oil-lubricated rotary vane pump and the dry vane pump.

When comparing these types of pumps to the new generation of high-efficiency pumps offered by DVT, the choice is simple.

The liquid ring pumps are more durable and affordable when comparing initial capital investment, maintenance costs plus the simplicity of design. Please check with us about other Dekker Pump systems such as the Dekker Titan, Dekker VMax, and Dekker Duravane.

Dekker VMax Vacuum Pump Systems for Demanding Applications

For Heavy-Duty Industrial Use

When it comes to high-demand environments, Dekker VMax vacuum pump systems stand out as a powerful, long-term solution engineered for performance and reliability. Designed for rugged use, the VMax series is ideal for industries where uptime, cleanliness, and efficiency are critical — such as poultry processing, food production, plastics, textiles, chemicals, sandcasting, and mining.

With airflows ranging from 35 to 5400 CFM, these oil-sealed liquid ring vacuum systems deliver consistent results even in the harshest operating conditions. Whether you’re dealing with saturated vapors, soft particle carry-over, or continuous 24/7 production cycles, the VMax system is built to handle it — without compromising on performance, safety, or longevity.

Unlike traditional rotary vane or water-sealed systems, Dekker VMax pumps are water-free, meaning there’s no corrosion risk, no wastewater disposal concerns, and virtually no maintenance downtime. That’s why more industrial plants and poultry processors across the U.S. are switching to Dekker VMax for their vacuum system needs.

Why Choose VMax?

The Dekker VMax vacuum pump system isn’t just another industrial solution — it’s a smart, long-term investment built to reduce downtime, cut operating costs, and improve plant safety. Here’s why leading poultry processors and industrial manufacturers trust the VMax series:

  • Oil-Sealed Liquid Ring Design
    Unlike traditional water-sealed systems, VMax pumps use a closed-loop oil-sealed design that delivers powerful, consistent vacuum performance while eliminating water as a sealing medium. This means greater longevity, cleaner operation, and no need for constant water supply management.

  •  Water Waste or Corrosion
    Say goodbye to rust, scaling, and water treatment headaches. VMax systems remove the risk of water-based contamination and corrosion, helping your facility stay compliant and reduce maintenance cycles.

  •  Quiet Operation for Noise-Sensitive Environments
    With advanced acoustic dampening and precision engineering, VMax systems rank among the quietest vacuum pumps in their class. That makes them ideal for poultry plants, packaging areas, or any operation where a quieter work environment is a priority.

  • Full Vacuum Range Without Overheating
    Whether you’re operating under deep vacuum or handling fluctuating inlet conditions, VMax units maintain stable temperature and performance across the full vacuum spectrum — without the need for water cooling or supplemental systems.

  •  Built to Industry Standards
    Every Dekker VMax system is engineered to meet or exceed UL®, CSA®, and CE® standards, making it a dependable choice for global operations that demand safety, compliance, and peace of mind.


Exceptional Features

The Dekker VMax series is engineered with industry-specific functionality that goes far beyond traditional pump systems. From intelligent design to unmatched reliability, here’s what makes the VMax system stand out:

  • DX-5™ and DX-7™ Air/Oil Separators
    Featuring Dekker’s patented multi-stage air/oil separation technology, the DX-5™ and DX-7™ systems drastically reduce oil carryover — ensuring a cleaner, safer environment for both equipment and personnel. These separators are especially valuable in food-grade and poultry plant settings, where contamination control is essential.

  • Heat Recovery & Smart Temperature Control
    Built-in air-cooled heat exchangers and optional automatic temperature control valves keep your system running within safe operating temperatures — even in ambient conditions up to 110°F. This not only protects system components from heat-related wear but also contributes to energy efficiency by recycling heat within the unit.

  •  Ultra-Low Maintenance Requirements
    With Vmaxol™ sealing fluid and no need for water replenishment or disposal, most VMax systems can run over 10,000 hours without requiring a fluid change. Unlike other vacuum technologies, the seal fluid isn’t used as a lubricant, so it remains stable and effective for extended intervals — drastically reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

  • Smart Motor Mounting System
    VMax systems up to 20 HP feature a flanged motor mount designed to directly connect to standard NEMA C-face motors. This eliminates traditional shaft coupling issues and ensures perfect alignment out of the box — reducing the risk of bearing damage, seal wear, and costly alignment downtime.
