Becker SV5.1050/1 11kW Side Channel Blower
The Becker SV5.1050/1 is a large single-stage side channel blower designed for industrial systems requiring exceptionally high process-air volume.
At 50 Hz, this 11kW version provides a nominal capacity of 1080 m³/h, maximum relative vacuum of -180 mbar and maximum positive pressure of +160 mbar.
The performance characteristics make the SV5.1050/1 particularly relevant where high airflow is the dominant requirement, including larger conveying, aeration, cooling, drying and machine-air systems.

High-Volume Industrial Airflow
The defining characteristic of the Becker SV5.1050/1 is its airflow capacity. At 1080 m³/h, this single-stage blower can move a substantial volume of air continuously, making it appropriate for larger installations where several hundred cubic metres per hour would not provide sufficient process flow.
Its maximum relative vacuum of -180 mbar and maximum positive pressure of +160 mbar give the blower useful capability on either suction or discharge duty. The performance balance is therefore particularly suited to high-flow systems operating against moderate resistance.
Air entering the blower is accelerated by the rotating impeller and repeatedly circulated through the side channel. This regenerative action transfers energy to the air and creates the required vacuum or pressure differential while maintaining continuous flow through the machine.
Because the impeller operates without rubbing contact with the blower housing, oil is not required in the process-air chamber. The resulting oil-free airflow is advantageous for machinery and processes where contamination of the conveyed air should be avoided.
At this airflow level, installation design becomes particularly important. Pipework diameter, inlet filtration, bends, valves, silencers and other restrictions can influence the actual operating point. The complete system should therefore be considered when replacing or specifying an SV5.1050/1.

SV5.1050/1 Performance Characteristics
1080 m³/h Airflow
More than 1,000 m³/h nominal capacity provides the air volume required by larger industrial machines and process systems.
-180 mbar Vacuum
Useful suction capability for high-volume vacuum extraction, handling and conveying duties.
+160 mbar Pressure
Positive-pressure performance for blowing, aeration, cooling and process-air applications.
11kW Motor
The 11kW motor configuration supports the high airflow requirement of this larger SV5 blower.
Oil-Free Process Air
No lubricating oil is required within the compression chamber during normal blower operation.
Non-Contact Operation
The side channel principle generates airflow without rubbing contact between the impeller and blower housing.
Typical SV5.1050/1 Applications
The high airflow available from the SV5.1050/1 makes it particularly appropriate for industrial systems in which a large volume of air must be moved continuously rather than applications whose primary requirement is very high vacuum differential.
› Large pneumatic conveying systems
› Printing and paper machinery
› Packaging and production equipment
› High-volume vacuum extraction
› Industrial drying processes
› Cooling and air circulation
› Water aeration and process blowing
› General high-volume process-air systems
Replacing a Becker SV5.1050/1
When an SV5.1050/1 is already installed on a machine or process, the complete blower and motor nameplate information provides the best starting point for replacement identification.
It is also useful to establish whether the original operating conditions remain unchanged. Alterations to pipework, filters, production equipment or process demand can affect the airflow and differential required from the blower.
For a unit moving more than 1,000 m³/h, pipework sizing deserves particular attention. Restriction created by undersized pipework can increase differential, reduce available airflow and contribute to increased operating temperature.
Vacuum Pumps UK can review the existing installation and assist with identifying a suitable Becker blower for replacement or new applications.
Becker SV5.1050/1 Accessories
Correctly selected accessories help protect the blower and allow its high airflow to be integrated effectively into the connected vacuum or pressure system.
Inlet Filtration
Correctly sized filters help protect the blower while avoiding unnecessary restriction to its high inlet airflow.
Vacuum Relief
Vacuum relief equipment can control excessive suction differential caused by increased system resistance.
Pressure Relief
Pressure regulation can help protect the blower where discharge restriction could exceed the intended operating duty.
System Connections
Silencers, flexible connectors, non-return valves and appropriately sized connections can be selected for the installation.
Becker SV5.1050/1 Service, Repair and Spare Parts
Side channel blowers are relatively straightforward machines, but prolonged industrial service can eventually result in bearing wear, motor issues or deterioration in operating performance. Filters and system restrictions should also be checked if airflow falls or operating temperature increases.
