Polivac SV30 Sandivac High Speed Floor Sander

Sand Fast and Finish Better with the Polivac Sandivac SV30 High-Speed Floor Sander

When the heavy preparation work is done and it's time to finish, the Polivac Sandivac SV30 is the machine that gets you there faster. Running at approximately 364 RPM — nearly double the speed of the SV25 — the SV30 is built for finishing applications where speed and surface quality are the priorities: light sanding between coats, removing small surface imperfections and polishing hard floors to a professional standard. Australian-designed and built, with over 120 distributors nationwide.

Like the SV25, the SV30 is far more than a one-trick machine. Switch off the vacuum motor and it instantly converts to a scrubber or stripper — three machines in one, from a single investment. Backed by the same trusted sealed 'Polidrive' gearbox and patented offset motor design that has made the Sandivac range an industry staple for over 60 years.

Key Benefits & Features of the Polivac Sandivac SV30

• High-speed 364 RPM performance for faster finishing results — At nearly double the pad speed of the SV25, the SV30 covers ground significantly faster on finishing applications — reducing the time between coats, delivering a more refined surface and allowing contractors to complete jobs in fewer passes where light sanding is all that's required.

• Three machines in one — sander, scrubber and stripper — Switch the vacuum motor off and the SV30 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.

• 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 — outlasting belt and pulley systems by a significant margin. Backed by an exclusive 2-year Polidrive warranty, it's the component that keeps the SV30 running when other machines have given up.

• 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 SV30 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 SV30 Sandivac is the right choice when the floor preparation is done and speed of finish is the priority — particularly for contractors working on tight turnarounds or jobs requiring multiple coats with sanding between each. At 364 RPM with standard dust extraction, it's the fast, efficient finishing tool for well-ventilated spaces. Here's how it compares to the rest of the Polivac Floor Sander range.

• 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.
