7 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Locate the pump where it can be interconnected with the vacuum system piping easily.
Accommodations should be made to allow full access of the pump for service, especially the
belt guard, starter, filter, vacuum breaker valve, vacuum blower and vacuum relief valve.
The vacuum gauge should be visible, but can be carefully rotated in its fitting as required.
The pump should be secured to the floor to prevent movement from vibration and isolating
pads (not supplied) may be installed to minimize noise transfer to the floor, if desired.
The pump is commonly located near the vacuum conveying system’s cyclone dust collector
and is commonly connected directly to the cyclone lid with rigid tubing or flex hose. It is
convenient to service the dust collector and the pump filter at the same time.
See notes on electrical installation for the 3 phase power connection and for installation of a
near-by 3 phase disconnect switch to allow easy disconnection of power to the pump for
service or in the case of an emergency.
Compressed Air Supply:
Clean compressed air should be supplied to the SVP pump’s vacuum breaker valve
regulator, providing 80 to 120 psi. A filter (not supplied) should be provided if the
cleanliness of the air is questionable.
7.1 Regulator Warning
The compressed air regulator has been set at the factory to allow the vacuum breaker
to relieve at the specified vacuum.
Tampering with the regulator will void the
warranty.
Only qualified Novatec service personnel may adjust the relief point via
regulator pressure.
7.2 Combination Vacuum Breaker and Vacuum Relief Valve
The Novatec vacuum breaker valve for system seek operation also serves as the
vacuum relief valve to regulate the pump’s workload. The dual functionality is
accomplished by utilizing an equilibrium of compressed air pressure and vacuum level
in conjunction with the vacuum breaker action, governed by the system’s conveying
control panel.
NOTE:
Specifications will be reduced for standard pump assemblies running on 50Hz.
Information shown is for standard SVP vacuum pumps. Refer to special job drawings
for custom unit information if applicable.
