Reinventing the Industrial Blower

Today, industrial blowers are the workhorse of the process industry. These high volume, low pressure air producers are being used by the hundreds in some operations for a variety of applications from material handling to aeration. However, despite the prevalence of industrial blowers, there is a downside: blowers can create noise levels that rival jet engines if not properly designed or enclosed. Therefore, finding an industrial blower package that has been properly designed and optimized to reduce sound output is necessary to prevent dangerous ambient noise levels and sound vibrations that can damage other equipment throughout the system. For many manufacturers, pneumatic conveying systems powered by blowers are superior to mechanical systems because they are easier to use, more flexible in application, easier to reconfigure, and use fewer moving parts. Such systems are capable of moving everything from fine, granular powders and chemicals to more bulky products such as plastic pellets and food products. Industrial blowers are also extensively used in the municipal wastewater industry where air is injected into wastewater to agitate it and keep all particles in suspension while the water is held for treatment.
