SAFETY FIRST
CAUTIONS AND GENERAL SAFETY
• Isolate, Tag Out and Disconnect the air supply to the unit prior to
working on any part of the system.
• Lift the equipment only at the certified lifting points detailed in this
manual. Use properly rated lifting equipment capable of handing the
equipment weight.
CAUTION: Be aware of retained material in the SV110 tank increasing
the total weight of the unit.
• Ensure all Hoses and Pipes are in good condition, correctly rated and
certified for the service in which they are to be used, correctly fitted and
equipped with appropriate retaining straps.
• Never Weld the pressure vessel section of the SV110 as this will
invalidate the certification of the unit.
• Inspect the unit regularly and replace damaged or worn components
only with parts supplied by the OEM.

WARNING
Compressed air can be dangerous. Correctly rated hoses and piping should
be used in conjunction with appropriate safety devices on all connections.
The unit is not designed to operate above 690kPa (100psi)

SV110 Setup
Before operating the SV110 check:
a) SV110 is undamaged and cover is in position.
b) Clean compressed air at a minimum working pressure of 550 kPa
(80psi) and quantity of 120cfm is available at the pump. See Picture 3
for location of pressure gauge.
c) 25mm air hose is available.
d) All suction hoses, delivery hoses and pickup nozzle are undamaged.
e) A discharge area has been chosen for the pump, which will not
endanger personnel or equipment. Material from the pump can be
ejected long distances from the end of the discharge line.
f) The pump does not require an in line lubricator.
g) As with any compressed air operated equipment eye and hearing
protection is recommended.
h) For efficient use of the unit delivery lines should be a minimum of
100mm internal diameter
i) Delivery line must be open ended as venturi is back pressure sensitive
j) Delivery line must be secured at regular intervals to reduce movement
during operation.

SETUP
1.1 Set SV110 up in a safe and relatively level position near the area to be
pumped.
1.2. Attach suction hose and nozzle to SV110 and ensure safety clips are in
place. Position hoses out of walkways.
1.3. Run out delivery line to the discharge point ensuring there is no danger
to personnel from the discharge. Attach delivery hose or pipe to SV110.
Position out of walkways. Restrain hose or pipe at regular intervals to
ensure it does not move during pumping operations.
Quick release fittings on the delivery line are not recommended by
Supavac, due to the aggressive nature of the pump discharge.
1.4 Blow out 25mm air hose to ensure it is clean and attach to SV110. Fit
safety clips and leave main valve on pump in the off position. Turn air
supply on at source.

2. SV110 USE
2.1 Ensure discharge area is clear of personnel
2.2 Turn air supply on at the pump. Pump will now begin operation. Dry
operation of the SV110 will not damage the pump. The pump always starts
in discharge mode (in case vessel was left full from previous operation).
The pump is factory set at 10 seconds discharge and 10 seconds suction.
This can be varied as required, see later section of manual.
2.5 When pumping is complete run the pump for a couple of cycles dry to
empty the tank.

3. SV110 Timers
Pressure gauge
There should be a minimum
of 80psi on this gauge while
the pump is operating
The SV110 operates on pneumatic timers. There are no moving parts in the
pump. With experience it may be possible to adjust the timers for increased
efficiency of operation. Always operate the pump with standard settings until
the nature of the material being pumped is fully assessed.
Page 8 of 15
The SV110 timers are factory set at 10 second discharge and 10 second
suction. This is a good average setting for most materials. The timers have a
scale on them, but to accurately set the cycle times Supavac recommends
that the cycles are timed with a watch.

4. SV110 Accessories
4.1 Stainless steel pickup nozzle – for ease of operation, attaches to suction
hose and allows operator to stand upright.
4.2 Snore box - attaches to suction hose for unmanned operation. Stops
large lumps from blocking suction hose.
4.5 Trailer – allows loading of the SV110 and hoses, for high speed or long
distance travel.
4.6 Over belt discharge unit – attaches to the SV110 discharge allowing direct
discharge onto a conveyor belt.

5. SV110 Troubleshooting
Before checking anything else ensure the correct pressure and quantity of
compressed air is being supplied to the pump.
Pump not cycling Low supply air pressure Ensure correctly rated
correctly compressor is used.
Ensure hoses are
correct diameter
Blocked discharge line
Blocked suction line Unblock suction line as
per Section 6.2
Blocked filter Clean or replace filter as
per Section 6.3
Pump operating Blocked suction line Unblock suction line as
correctly but not loading per Section 6.2
material Blocked/Impeded Unblock discharge line
Delivery line as per Section 6.1
Suction hose collapsed Replace damaged
or leaking section of hose.
Check all fittings have
washers inserted
correctly.
Blocked Jet Pack nozzle Clean nozzle and
housing as per Section
6.4
Material too viscous for Add water to the
the pump material as required.
Pump not operating Low supply air pressure Ensure correctly rated
compressor is used.
Ensure hoses are
correct diameter
Blocked filter Clean or replace filter as
per Section 6.3
Control system fault Contact Supavac for
service.

6. SV110 Maintenance Procedures
In use the SV110 requires minimal maintenance. However the following
procedures are recommended.
Daily: Check pump is undamaged, cover and all safety clips etc. are in
position.
Check discharge hose is correctly anchored.
Check all hoses for damage or wear and replace as necessary
Monthly: Check level oil level in lubricator. Top up with air tool oil as
necessary. The pump requires minimal lubrication to operate.

6.1 Blocked Delivery Line
If the discharge line is blocked the pump will retain pressure as there is
a check valve fitted to the suction side of the pump to stop discharge
through the suction line in the event of a blocked discharge line.

6.2 Blocked Suction Line
If the suction line of the pump is blocked usually there will only be
residual vacuum in the line.

apply moderate force to break the vacuum) and clear the
blockage.
The Jet Pack may require cleaning after prolonged use or if the vessel
has been overfilled. To clean the jet pack and nozzle:
