Page 5: Introduction
SPD 3-7.5HP IM 31 OCTOBER 2024 1.) INTRODUCTION The Novatec SPD vacuum pump is designed to be the next step in vacuum conveying. Traditional vacuum pump technologies, such as positive displacement (PD) & regenerative blowers (RB), are used to pneumatically convey plastic pellets or powders in a conveying system; creating a vacuum to “pull” air through the piping system. -

Page 10: Combination Vacuum Breaker & Relief Valve
SPD 3-7.5HP IM 31 OCTOBER 2024 7.2) Combination Vacuum Breaker & 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 control panel. -
Page 11: 1) Vacuum Material Pickup Lance/Wand Or Mounted Ambient Carbureted Probe
SPD 3-7.5HP IM 31 OCTOBER 2024 To maximize throughput, conveying lines that run the same material repeatedly will allow it to rest in the lines in-between load cycles. Line purging is another practice where the conveying lines are cleared in-between load cycles. This can simplify line cleanouts, minimize mixed material stagnation or separation from a blending source, prevent plugs at base of excessively tall vertical runs, and minimized moisture regain in dry-air or closed-loop conveying applications. -

Page 28: 6) Conveying Pump Vacuum Breaker Valve
SPD 3-7.5HP IM 31 OCTOBER 2024 Rule of Thumb: On systems that convey material from one source to multiple receivers via a common material line; if only one receiver in the system conveys correctly, it is probably that receiver’s check valve that is not closing properly. 13.2.6) Conveying Pump Vacuum Breaker Valve Located on the central vacuum pump of the system, the vacuum breaker valve allows ambient air to be drawn into the pump when the conveying system is NOT conveying. - Page 29 SPD 3-7.5HP IM 31 OCTOBER 2024 If the vacuum gauge shows vacuum levels above the designed relief point dictated in this manual or on the top-level mechanical drawing, there is an issue with the vacuum relief set point controlled by the electronic air regulator.
