[20-SV] 2″ Vacuum for solids 100cfm

Description

The 20-SV is a compact, air-operated vacuum solids pump designed for efficient transfer of sludge, slurry, and solids-laden liquids in situations where conventional pumps are impractical or unreliable. Australian made, it is built with the same core principles as larger vacuum solids units, but in a smaller, more portable format suited to lighter-duty and more confined applications.

The unit operates using a compressed-air-driven vacuum and pressure discharge cycle. Material is drawn into the vessel under vacuum and then expelled under pressure, allowing controlled transfer without the use of electrical power or internal rotating components. This design eliminates common wear points such as impellers, diaphragms, or seals found in traditional pumps, resulting in low maintenance requirements and high reliability in harsh environments.

Despite its compact size, the 20-SV is capable of handling difficult materials that would block or damage standard pumps. It is well suited to sludges, slurry, mud, wastewater solids, and other flowable materials with entrained solids. The vacuum loading process allows material to be recovered from pits, sumps, trenches, tanks, and low points where access is limited or where priming a conventional pump would be difficult.

The smaller footprint of the 20-SV makes it ideal for sites where space is restricted or where portability is important. It can be easily mounted on a skid, trailer, service vehicle, or placed directly at the work area for short transfer runs. Like larger units in the range, it is fully air powered, making it suitable for remote locations, hazardous areas, and sites without reliable electrical infrastructure.

Typical use cases include industrial maintenance clean-ups, wastewater and effluent handling, agricultural slurry transfer, environmental remediation, and general site recovery work. It is particularly useful for service crews and operators who need a dependable solids handling solution that can be deployed quickly without complex setup.

Operation is straightforward, with no priming required and minimal controls. This simplicity reduces downtime, shortens training time for operators, and improves overall productivity on site. When paired with suitable suction and discharge hoses, the 20-SV provides a controlled, repeatable method of moving difficult materials safely and efficiently.

In summary, the SV-20 is a compact, Australian made vacuum solids pump designed for reliable handling of sludge and solids-laden fluids. Its air-operated design, portability, and ability to cope with challenging materials make it a practical solution for maintenance, industrial, agricultural, and environmental applications where simplicity and reliability are essential.
