Fieldpiece VPX33EU ATEX Vacuum Pump

Fieldpiece VPX33EU ATEX Vacuum Pump — Two-Stage, 280 l/min (10 CFM)

When you are up against large commercial HVAC/R systems, time is your most valuable resource. Working with flammable refrigerants demands equipment that combines maximum performance with uncompromising safety. The two-stage Fieldpiece VPX33EU vacuum pump with ATEX certification is a premium, no-compromise choice for professionals, engineered for efficient evacuation of large systems.

Designed for the most demanding field jobs, the Fieldpiece VPX33EU delivers a powerful 280 l/min (10 CFM) flow rate, achieving a deep ultimate vacuum of 15 microns. Crucially for the modern technician, the unit carries full ATEX certification, guaranteeing 100% safe and compliant operation with next-generation refrigerants: A2L class and highly flammable A3 (such as propane R290 and isobutane R600a).

The defining Fieldpiece feature — the legendary RunQuick® oil-change system — reaches an even higher level of usefulness in this model. Contaminated oil drastically slows down system drying. With RunQuick®, you can drain the old oil and refill with fresh oil in under 20 seconds — while the pump is running, without losing the vacuum already achieved. A large, blue-LED-illuminated transparent reservoir lets you continuously monitor oil condition and the clarity of extracted moisture.

The Fieldpiece VPX33EU proves that enormous power does not have to mean enormous weight. The pump weighs just 12 kg, making it far lighter and more portable than competing units in the same performance class. The modern 3/4 HP brushless DC motor ensures trouble-free starting and stable operation even under voltage drop conditions (operates from 190V to 260V), eliminating the shutdown problem when running on long job-site extension cords.

Additional advantages include an intuitive gas ballast lever (quarter-turn) and four independent in-line inlet ports. These allow simultaneous connection of hoses with different bore sizes (1/4", 3/8", and 1/2"), guaranteeing maximum configuration flexibility and full flow capacity when drying large VRF or industrial refrigeration systems.
