INTRODUCTION PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION CONGRATULATIONS on the purchase of a new SDV Dry Vacuum Pump from Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems. Please examine the pump for The SDV Dry Screw Vacuum Pump is a single- shipping damage, and if any damage is found, stage, dry running, non-contact, variable-pitch report it immediately to the carrier.
Introduction CONSTRUCTION If the pump were operated with low oil level, the gears and bearings would seize by lack of lubrications. If the oil is overfilled, the oil Timing Gear temperature would get elevated and cause high gear noise and possibly affect the integrity of other The timing gear is an important part of the screw parts in the DE (Drive End) casing.
Introduction MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION Ductile iron (A536 Grade 60-40-18) Housing Internal process areas include PEEK corrosion protective coating. Screw Cast iron (A48 Class No. 30 with PEEK corrosion protective coating.) Shaft Cr-Mo alloy steel (AISI-SAE 4140) Lip seals PTFE and carbon mix (Turcon) in stainless-steel body Ceramic-coated, stainless-steel sleeve with an O-ring for serial numbers up to: SDV-120 KIT KLRZ SN <406>548<853: 086120-0KIT SDV-200 KIT KALREZ 263<SN<376: 086200-0KIT...
The housing serial number is located on the left side of the pump body (opposite side of the Tuthill serial number plate) and the number is normally stamped into the housing casting and will be a 3 or four digit number.
SAFETY GRAPHIC CONVENTIONS USED IN OTE: Indicates a procedure, practice, or condition that should be followed in THIS MANUAL order for the equipment to function in the manner intended. The following hazard levels are referenced within this manual: SAFETY INSTRUCTION TAGS DANGER WARNING Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not...
Safety SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR DRY • Do not restrict the pump discharge in any way or place valves in the discharge line. The vacuum VACUUM PUMPS pump is a compressor and will generate high pressures without stalling the motor when operated at low suction pressures.
PIPING The vacuum pump casing and the front end plate have an integrated cooling water jacket. The SDV series pumps can be configured with two different types of cooling systems: Fresh Water Cooling and Circulating Cooling. FRESH WATER COOLING The fresh water cooling system consists of a “once-through”...

Piping PROCESS DISCHARGE PROCESS INLET SILENCER COOLING WATER SUPPLY MOTOR SILENCER DRAIN COOLING WATER DISCHARGE COOLING WATER DRAIN Figure 3-1 – Typical Process and Inlet Discharge for SDV-120 Models with Once-Through Cooling On SDV-200 and larger-sized pumps, the cooling water circuit is extended to the process exhaust silencer (see Figure 3-2).
Piping AIR-WATER RADIATOR This system is an air-cooled version with a cooling water total recovery system. A centrifugal pump circulates the cooling water from the SDV vacuum pump to a radiator-fan unit. To monitor the adequacy of the cooling water flow and the cooling water discharge temperature, install a flow indicator, flow switch on the cooling water supply line and a temperature gauge (or switch) at the cooling water discharge line.

Purges COOLING PURGE NOTES: • Cooling purge is not required for SDV-120, A cooling purge is done to cool the inside of the SDV-200, SDV-320, SDV-430, and SDV-800 for casing and the screws. The purge cools the pump typical processes manufactured after Jan. 2015. &...
Purges STEAM FLUSHING If there is a substantial amount of the residual process material build-up within the pump, clean out the pump interior. Steam flushing is one way to clean the residual process material build-up from the pump interior. When there is enough residual process material build-up, make sure that the pump is not forced to rotate by the motor.
OPERATION PRESTART CHECKS STARTING THE PUMP 1. Ensure the pump internal and process piping 1. Ensure the direction of the pump rotation is are thoroughly cleaned and free from weld correct: CW (Clockwise) direction, looking slags, metal chips, particulates, rust, dust, etc. from the motor.
