6. OPERATION
Turn the air supply valve ON at the source. Turning the pump valve to ON, the pump will now commence its cycle of operation. The
LOAD and DISCHARGE cycles are controlled by adjustable pneumatic timers, these allow for adjusting the pump to varying conditions,
i.e.heavyorlightmaterialorlongorshortdistancesetc.DuringtheLOADcycletheoperatorshouldnoteanaudibledifference(Gargle)
oncethevesselhaslled,adjusttheLOADtimertowherethecyclecompletesjustasorpriortothisoccurring.TheDISCHARGEcycle
depends on both the material being transferred and the distances involved. A discharge setting of 4-6 seconds will accommodate
about 95% of most pumping jobs with the SV70-SPDK.
Once pumping is completed, remove the suction from the material and allow the pump to cycle self-clean, on completion of the
operations isolate the air supply and allow the pump to cycle until the supply in the line is exhausted, then turn the pump off at the
supply line. SOLIDSVAC recommends checking the pump discharge to ensure it remains correctly anchored at the exit. Lubrication is
not required during operation.
Note: Dry operation will not damage the pump.
CYCLE INDICATOR
Thepumpisttedwithanindicatortoinformtheoperatorwhichcyclethepumpisoperatingin,wheninthedischargecyclethe
indicator is yellow and when in the suction cycle the indicator is clear.
Note: If the pump is supplied with a head of pressure it is possible for the pump to siphon when the air supply is turned off. To
prevent siphoning when the pump is not in operation, turn the pump off when it is in the discharge cycle or isolate the material
supply source to the pump.
DISCHARGE CYCLE INDICATED SUCTION CYCLE INDICATED EARTHING POINT
An earthing point is tted to the
SV70-SPDK if required by the site-
specic RA or JSA.

7. MAINTENANCE
In use, the Solidsvac SV70-SPDK requires little to no maintenance, however Solidsvac recommends that the following strict measures
are taken to ensure pump remains in good working order.
Maintenance,repairs,andthedisassemblingoftheunitbecarriedoutbyanyqualiedFitterwithabasicknowledgeofpneumatics.
SERVICE TIPS
- Set up a maintenance schedule and follow it diligently.
- Clean the machine areas before removing pneumatic components.
Note: When steam cleaning or using water to clean a machine, be sure that ller openings, breather caps etc are protected
from possible entry of water into the system.
- Use clean plastic plugs to cover the ends of disconnected lines or to plug openings when working on a pneumatic system.
- A clean workbench is an absolute ‘MUST’ when servicing components. An industrial-type vacuum cleaner is a valuable aid in
removing dust, dirt and tiny metal particles from the work area.
- Check the condition of your tools – they should be clean. Always use hammers made of plastic or leather, so there is no danger
of metal chips getting into components.
- When removing parts for service, clean them and then store them in plastic bags or other clean containers until they are
installed again.
 - Whencleaningpneumaticparts,useextremecaretoensurethatthecleaninguidisnon-ammableandcompatiblewiththe
system.
- Use common-sense precautions to prevent dirt entering components that have been temporarily removed from the circuit.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
Pneumaticproblemsthataffectsystemowandpressurearenotalwayseasytolocate.Thesystemtestingproceduredescribedlater
inthissectionisbasedonausefulstep-by-stepapproachtotroubleshooting.Troubleshootingchartsmakethefault-ndingprocess
easier and faster.
EFFECTS OF A DROP IN SYSTEM FLOW RATE
- A pressure drop will affect the speed and cycle times of a pneumatic machine; actuators will not extend, retract, or rotate at
therequiredspeed.Actuatorcontrolwillbecomejerkywithinconsistenciesinowascylindersandmotorsaresuppliedat
different rates. In many complex pneumatic systems, the sequencing and positioning of component operations will be affected
as cycle times become thrown out of programmed control.
 - Thecompressor’sdischargeowrateshouldbecheckedrsttoensurethatthedropinowisnotaproblemofinternal
leakage or incorrect setting of compressor controls.
EFFECTS OF DROPS IN PRESSURE
The major causes of pressure drop include:
 - Pipeworkrestrictions(forexample,incorrectsizing)ttingrestrictionsandsharpcorners
- Incorrect pressure settings
 - Suddenenlargementinuidconductors
 - Longlengthsofuidconductors
 - Componentleakage(internalandexternal)
- Broken valve springs
- Blocked or crimped air lines
 - Loosettings
- Valves not sealing correctly because of contaminants
- Some combination of the above causes

SYSTEM TESTING PROCEDURES
Pneumatic systems, like all machines, require routine maintenance to ensure reliability. However, there are still times when problems
occurandMUSTbelocatedquicklyandefciently,especiallyinproductionapplications.Astep-by-stepmethodhasbeendevisedas
awayofndingandsolvingpneumaticproblemsquickly.
These steps are as follows:
STEP 1: KNOW THE SYSTEM -
Studythemachine’stechnicalspecicationstoobtainanunderstandingofhowthesystemoperatesandthefunctionofthe
machine’s components. Obtain a circuit drawing and check the system through. Check the machine’s maintenance records and
commissioning test results if they are available.
STEP 2: ASK THE OPERATOR -
Determine the symptoms of the problem by asking the operator for a detailed description of the machine’s normal operating
performance.
STEP 3: INSPECT THE MACHINE -
Useyoursenses(touch,smell,sightandhearing)tolocateproblemsordamagesuchasnoisycomponents,airleaks,malfunctioning
components and damaged air lines.
STEP 4: OPERATE THE MACHINE -
Operate the machine and check that the machine’s gauges are reading ‘normal’ and that there are no unusual noises. The operation
of the machine’s controls should not be ‘sticky’ or ‘spongy’. The machine’s performance should not be slow, erratic – nor non-existent.
STEP 5: LIST THE POSSIBLE CAUSES -
Once the fault has been located and recognised, list the possible causes – starting with the simplest.
STEP 6: REACH A CONCLUSION -
Use a troubleshooting chart to check the list of possible causes; then decide which is the most likely.
Note: 99% of all issues are air supply related.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
A pneumatic system is easy to maintain. However, like any other mechanism, it MUST be operated and maintained correctly.
Pneumaticsystemscanbedamagedbyexcessivepressures,uidcontaminationandbyhighoperatingtemperatures.
Regularmaintenancewillreduceyourpneumatictroubles.Byusingaregularmaintenanceprogramme(preventativemaintenance)
to care for a system, you can eliminate common problems and anticipate special ones. Problems can be corrected or averted before
a breakdown occurs.
The following are the key problems that commonly need to be addressed in pneumatic maintenance:
- Water-contaminated air
 - Poorairltration
- Incorrect pressure settings
- Incorrect lubricator settings, resulting in sticking valves
- High air temperature
- Loose supply lines
- Faulty seals
IMPORTANCE OF CLEANLINESS
Cleanliness is of supreme importance when it comes to servicing pneumatic systems. Keep dirt and other contaminants out of the
system.Smallparticlescanscorevalves,causeseizingofcomponentsandclogorices,resultinginexpensiverepairjobs.
When servicing a pneumatic system, always do the following to ensure cleanliness:
- Keep the compressor and machine's lubricating oil clean
- Keep the system clean
- Keep your work area clean
 - Becarefulwhenyouchangesealorcomponents(takephotos)
- Use caution with compressed air
- Ensure all pneumatic components supply lines are secure

RISK MATRIX
Step 3 : The Hierarchy of Risk Control Model
Start at the top and only if you can’t select controls from one section, move to the next one down.
You need to use a combination of control measures to achieve the second level of risk control.
If a particular hazard can’t be removed the risk associated with the hazard can never be eliminated.
1 Elimination Complete removal of the hazard Most effective
2 Substitution Replacing the material of process with a less hazardous one
3 Isolation Separate the hazard from people
4 Engineering Guarding, ventilation, design, re-design etc
5 Administration Providing controls such as training and procedures
6 PPE Use of PPE when other controls are not practical Least effective
