Polivac SV25 Sandivac Slow Speed Floor Sander

The Polivac Sandivac SV25 Does It All with Three Machines in One Price.

The Polivac Sandivac SV25 has earned its reputation as one of the most efficient and reliable floor sanders in its price range — and it's not hard to see why. This slow-speed, rotary floor sander is built around a heavy-duty 4-pole electric motor, a sealed oil-filled 'Polidrive' gearbox, and a patented offset motor design that makes it as easy and comfortable to operate as it is powerful. Australian-designed and Australian-built.

What sets the SV25 apart from a standard floor sander is its versatility. Switch off the vacuum motor and the SV25 instantly becomes a scrubber or stripper — three machines in one, from a single investment. Whether you're sanding back a tired timber floor, stripping a stubborn coating or scrubbing a hard surface, the SV25 handles all three without changing machines or job sites.

Key Benefits & Features of the Polivac Sandivac SV25

• Three machines in one: sander, scrubber and stripper — Switch the vacuum motor off and the SV25 transitions from floor sander to scrubber or stripper in seconds, giving operators the flexibility to tackle sanding, scrubbing and stripping applications with a single machine and eliminating the cost of owning multiple units.

• Patented offset motor for counter-balanced, kickback-free starting — The offset motor design counterbalances starting torque, eliminating the sudden kickback that causes surface burn marks and operator strain on conventional machines. Startup is smooth and controlled every time, protecting both the floor and the operator.

• Sealed 'Polidrive' gearbox for lasting, quiet reliability — The oil-filled, totally sealed helical gear gearbox delivers quiet, positive power with no contamination risk from dust or chemicals. Backed by an exclusive 2-year Polidrive warranty, it's the component that keeps the SV25 running when other machines have given up.

• Integrated vacuum with floating dust skirt — no secondary vacuuming needed — The 100-watt long-life vacuum motor works in conjunction with a floating skirt assembly that traps dust at the source, eliminating the need for a secondary vacuum pass and significantly reducing airborne dust levels in the working environment.

• Ergonomic, fully adjustable handle with safety triggers — Designed in consultation with ergonomic principles, the height-adjustable handle with contoured grip and safety triggers makes the SV25 comfortable for operators of all heights over long working sessions — reducing fatigue and improving control across the entire job.

Which Polivac Floor Sander is Right for You?

The SV25 Sandivac is the right starting point when controlled, slow-speed cutting is the priority and your working environment either has adequate ventilation or dust extraction isn't a critical concern.

At 188 RPM, the SV25's higher torque makes it the go-to machine for heavy sanding applications, stripping back floors, grinding stubborn coatings and preparation work where you want to remove material aggressively without the risk of over-sanding that higher speeds can cause. When you need to step up to superior dust extraction, higher speed or both, here's how the rest of the Polivac Floor Sander range compares.

• SV25 Sandivac — Slow speed with standard dust extraction — The entry point to the Sandivac range, running at 188 RPM with a 100 W onboard vacuum for standard dust collection via a floating skirt assembly. The right choice for heavy cutting, stripping and preparation work in well-ventilated spaces where maximum dust extraction isn't required.

• SV25 Supervac — Slow speed with superior dust extraction — Same 188 RPM slow-speed cutting performance, but fitted with a 400 W canister vacuum motor and by-pass dust separator for significantly more powerful dust collection. Choose this when you need controlled, heavy-duty sanding in enclosed spaces, occupied buildings or environments with strict air quality requirements.

• SV30 Sandivac — High speed with standard dust extraction — Powered by a 1.5 kW motor at approximately 364 RPM, the SV30 is the finishing sander of the range — best for removing small surface imperfections, light sanding between coats and polishing applications. Choose the SV30 when preparation is complete and you need a fast, refined finish without the need for heavy-duty dust extraction.

• SV30 Supervac — High speed with superior dust extraction — Combines the SV30's 364 RPM finishing speed with a 400 W canister vacuum and by-pass dust separator, plus additional machine weight for improved downward pressure. The top-spec choice for fast finishing results in dust-sensitive environments (schools, hospitals and occupied commercial spaces) where speed and air quality compliance are both non-negotiable.
