2General
2.1 Product general description
The SV205 is a light-weight, compact rotary vane compressor designed for the oil free
discharge of bulk liquids from general purpose tankers, e.g. liquid foodstuff, solvents, acids
alkalis, hot bitumen, resins and other chemicals.
The main advantage of using a compressor to discharge liquids is that the product does not
come into contact with machine. This eliminates any problems of material compatibility with
the liquid enabling a much wider variety of products to be discharged.
The machine is an oil free sliding vane design with the main stainless steel rotor being
supported by bearing arrangements at either end.
All the components in the main bore cavity are manufactured from corrosion resistant
materials to resist any possibility of atmospheric corrosion.
The very compact shape and size of the machine make it ideal for mounting inside the chassis
to enable direct low-cost prop. shaft driving or via other drive methods more suitable for
a particular application.
A through shaft allows CW or ACW input drive rotation and the compressor can be installed
on any face to provide the maximum mounting flexibility.
The standard package consists of:
SV205 cw basic machine
• Air Inlet Filter 5” Cyclonic
• Air Inlet Hose Kit
• Port Gaskets
• Non Return Valve - 1.5” BSP
2.2 Power Options
The SV205 can be driven using any of the following drive systems.
Prop. shaft Direct from a gearbox mounted PTO.
Hydraulically Several standard drives are available.
Electrically Motor drive packages on base frames/plates.
Engine Drive packages on base frames/plates.
2.3 Storage/Low use
Before the machine is installed or when it will not be used for long periods:
• Store the machine in a dry, heated building.
• Handle the machine with care and keep the suction and delivery ports covered.
• Rotate the drive shaft of the machine each week, in the direction shown by the arrow
between the suction and delivery ports on the machine body. Where the compressor is
mounted on a vehicle and located outside, it should be operated for at least 15 minutes
Note

Note
Do not allow dirt, oil
and grease to enter

as this could cause
severe damage.
