Adjusting the Speed of the Lift

Adjusting Lift Speed for Standard Vacuums and SOVDA Vacuum Boxes

To adjust the speed of your lift, this will depend on what vacuum you have for your lift system. You may want to adjust the speed of your lift if your experiencing broken beans, or a slower lift.

Standard Vacuum

If you have a canister vacuum, you’ll need to adjust the slit that your flex-pipe connects too. To make the vacuum slower, you’ll want to open this slit, alternatively to make it faster, you’ll use the pipe to cover slit more.

It’s important to note if you have a destoner on your hopper of your lift, you’ll need to adjust this again after adjusting the speed.
