Polivac SV30 GEN II Sandivac High Speed Floor Sander
Sand Faster at No Compromise with the Polivac SV30 Gen II Sandivac High-Speed Floor Sander
The SV30 Gen II Sandivac takes everything professionals love about the high-speed SV30 — fast finishing, polishing and between-coat sanding — and rebuilds it around the Gen II platform's superior engineering. The standard helical gearbox is replaced with a heavy-duty triple planetary industrial gear drive, the motor cowl and capacitor boxes are upgraded to all-metal construction, and an additional 3 kg weight set is included as standard to deliver more consistent downward pressure across the pad.
Running at approximately 424 RPM and backed by the same trusted Polivac Australian design and manufacturing, the SV30 Gen II Sandivac is the high-speed finishing sander built to handle the demands of professional daily use — longer, harder and more reliably than its predecessor.
Key Benefits & Features of the Polivac SV30 Gen II Sandivac
-
High-speed 424 RPM performance for faster finishing results — Running at significantly higher speed than the SV25 Gen II's 212 RPM, the SV30 Gen II covers ground faster on finishing applications — reducing time between coats, delivering a more refined surface and allowing contractors to complete jobs in fewer passes where light sanding and polishing are required.
-
Triple planetary industrial gear drive — the strongest gearbox available — The Gen II moves beyond the standard helical gearbox to a long-life triple planetary gear drive with a 6.8:1 ratio, proven across the most demanding grinding and sanding applications. It's a fundamentally stronger gearbox design that delivers quieter, more positive power transfer and significantly outlasts conventional single-reduction gearboxes.
-
All-metal cowl and capacitor boxes for superior component protection — Where other machines rely on plastic cowls and capacitor housings, the SV30 Gen II uses all-metal construction throughout — providing far better protection for the motor and critical electrical components against impact, dust ingress and the daily rigours of professional use.
-
Additional 3 kg weight set for increased downward pressure — The SV30 Gen II comes fitted with an extra 3 kg weight set as standard, increasing the machine's downward pressure on the pad for more effective and consistent finishing performance — particularly valuable when working with abrasive screens or when a more aggressive surface preparation is required before final coat application.
-
Three machines in one — sander, scrubber and stripper — Switch the vacuum motor off and the SV30 Gen II Sandivac transitions from floor sander to scrubber or stripper in seconds, giving operators the flexibility to tackle multiple applications with a single machine and eliminating the cost of owning multiple units.
Why Upgrade to a Polivac 2nd Generation Floor Sander?
The SV30 Gen II Sandivac is the right choice for professional floor sanding contractors who need the speed of a high-speed finishing sander and the durability of the Gen II platform in well-ventilated spaces where standard dust extraction is sufficient. The triple planetary gear drive and all-metal construction deliver the kind of long-term reliability that pays for itself through reduced maintenance costs and less machine downtime — keeping you on the floor and off the phone to the service centre.
For contractors running busy schedules across multiple job sites, the SV30 Gen II's faster RPM means more floor covered per shift, more coats completed per day and faster project turnaround without any sacrifice in finish quality. The floating skirt and 100 W vacuum motor eliminate secondary vacuuming between coats, and the Flexi pad holder and universal clutch mean accessory changes are fast and tool-free.
Which Polivac Floor Sander is Right for You?
The SV30 Gen II Sandivac is the right choice when you want Gen II durability and high-speed finishing performance in well-ventilated spaces. Here's how it sits across the full Gen II range.
-
SV25 Gen II Sandivac — Slow speed with standard dust extraction — The entry point to the Gen II range, running at 212 RPM with a triple planetary gear drive, all-metal construction and an additional 3 kg weight set for greater downward pressure and long-term durability. Choose this when you need slow-speed cutting and preparation in well-ventilated spaces and want the reliability of Gen II engineering without the step up to superior dust extraction.
-
SV25 Gen II Supervac — Slow speed with superior dust extraction — The same 212 RPM Gen II slow-speed performance and triple planetary gear drive, but paired with a 400 W canister vacuum motor and by-pass dust separator for dramatically more powerful dust control. Choose this when you need the Gen II's enhanced durability and downward pressure in enclosed spaces, occupied buildings or environments with strict air quality requirements.
-
SV30 Gen II Sandivac — High speed with standard dust extraction — The Gen II high-speed finishing sander, running at approximately 424 RPM with the same triple planetary gear drive and all-metal construction as the SV25 Gen II. Choose this when preparation is complete and you need fast, refined finishing results in well-ventilated spaces with the added durability of the Gen II platform.
-
SV30 Gen II Supervac — High speed with superior dust extraction — The top of the Gen II range, combining the SV30 Gen II's high-speed finishing performance with a 400 W canister vacuum and by-pass dust separator for maximum dust control. The ultimate choice for contractors who need fast finishing results with superior dust extraction in the most demanding and dust-sensitive environments.
