Purchasing the Right Blower System
Featured Product from Paxton Products, an ITW company
When buying an industrial blower and air knife system, buying an inexpensive system often times leads to higher overall cost of ownership. For example, regen, direct drive and/or squirrel cage blowers are easy solutions to purchase because of their low cost, but their performance usually disappoints. These blowers are often only 20 – 40% efficient resulting in:
-
- Inadequate air flow and pressure to achieve the drying or blow off performance needed
- Higher energy costs
- Poor blower performance results in poor product quality, slowed production, and potentially downtime. These costs far outweigh any savings from the lower purchase price.
Paxton blowers, on the other hand, are custom-engineered to your drying or blow off application. Our Application Engineers have over 75 years of airflow technology experience, so they will know how to solve your application need. A Paxton Products PX-Series Centrifugal Blower uses less horsepower to achieve the same airflow as the cheaper blowers resulting in significant energy savings. For example, a regen blower may need 30hp to dry pipe extrusions whereas a Paxton blower only needs a 15 hp to dry the same extrusions. Paxton prides themselves on blower durability, longevity, and performance with thousands of blowers in excellent condition still out in the field for 10+ years (and many for over 20 years!). Paxton provides customers with a maintenance schedule and video instructions allowing customers to properly maintain their blowers in-house reducing downtime for production.
