SupaVac Pumps: Industry-Leading Performance and Reliability

The SupaVac product range, which has been under patent protection since 1993, was conceptualised and produced in Australia. It has gained widespread recognition and acceptance worldwide in a broad range of industries, owing to its exceptional performance, particularly in challenging applications.

Advanced Features for Superior Efficiency

  • 100% Air-Powered Operation
    SupaVac pumps are pneumatically driven, ensuring safe and energy-efficient operation.
  • Patented Venturi Design:
    A unique venturi system generates powerful suction for high-performance slurry and solids transfer.
  • Handles Solids Up to 70% of the Inlet Diameter
    Designed to manage the toughest materials, from sludge to heavy slurry.
  • Long-Distance Pumping Capabilities
    Transferring solids up to 50 meters and discharging materials over 1000 meters is made simple with SupaVac vacuum pumps.
  • Low-Maintenance Design
    With no internal rotating parts, wear and maintenance costs are drastically reduced.

SupaVac Vacuum Pumps

Understand exactly what SupaVac pumps can do before committing to a solution.

This FAQ covers what SupaVac pumps are, materials they handle, how they differ from traditional pumps, key advantages, transfer distances, compressed air requirements, hazardous environment suitability, specific applications, and where to go for further help.

SupaVac pumps are 100% air-operated, intrinsically safe vacuum pumping units designed to transfer virtually any flowable material. Featuring a patented Venturi design, these pumps create a strong vacuum (up to 25″ Hg) combined with high-velocity airflows to capture and convey materials that traditional pumps cannot handle. With no internal moving parts or rotating components, SupaVac pumps offer exceptional reliability and minimal maintenance requirements.

SupaVac pumps excel at transferring challenging materials, including thick slurries, drilling mud (OBM and WBM), sand, gravel, powders, sludge, tailings, and semi-viscous materials. The pumps can handle solid sizes up to 70% of the inlet diameter, making them ideal for applications where conventional pumps fail. They’re particularly effective with high-density slurries and abrasive materials.

Unlike conventional pumps, SupaVac units operate entirely on compressed air with no electrical components, making them intrinsically safe for hazardous environments. They contain no internal moving parts or rotating wear components, significantly reducing maintenance requirements and downtime. The unique pneumatic design enables them to handle materials with higher solid content and larger particle sizes than traditional pumps can.

SupaVac pumps offer numerous benefits:

  • Intrinsically safe: 100% air-operated with no electrical components, suitable for ATEX-certified hazardous environments.
  • Minimal maintenance: No internal moving parts means reduced wear and lower maintenance costs.
  • Versatile operation: Manual or fully automatic operation options.
  • Superior capability: Handles thicker slurries and more solid material than conventional pumps.
  • Safe operation: Cyclical pumping process reduces risks and requires less human intervention.
    Proven reliability: Over 30 years of proven performance in demanding applications worldwide.

SupaVac pumps can recover material up to 50 metres vertically through vacuum action and discharge materials up to 1,000 metres horizontally, depending on the model and material characteristics. Transfer rates vary by model and application, with larger units capable of moving up to 50 m³/hr or more.

Air requirements vary by model. For example, the SV110-V requires approximately 280 CFM of compressed air to operate effectively. Contact Dowdens for specific air consumption data for your chosen model and application to ensure your compressor capacity is adequate.
Yes. Because SupaVac pumps are 100% air-operated with no electrical components, they are intrinsically safe and ATEX certified for use in potentially hazardous and explosive atmospheres. This makes them ideal for oil and gas operations, confined spaces, and other restricted or dangerous environments where electrical equipment poses risks.

Common applications include:

  • Dewatering operations
  • Mineral processing and tailings management
  • FPSO and tanker tank cleaning
  • Drilling mud and cuttings transfer
  • Pond and lagoon desludging
  • Sewer and drain cleaning
  • Environmental spill control and recovery
  • Confined space material removal
  • Slurry and solids conveying
