ZS VSD screw blower brings efficiency to sewage treatment works
High energy savings, lower maintenance costs. That is what has convinced seawage treatment works at Müster in Germany, to work with us
Screw compressors delivering compressed air below 1.5 bar(g) are referred to as (rotary) screw blowers. The working principles of a screw blower are thus identical to those of a rotary screw compressor.
Rotary screw blowers are used in a variety of low pressure applications (wastewater treatment, pneumatic conveying, fermentation,…). Our screw blower units are ISO 8573-1 Class 0 certified to protect your critical processes and products.
Energy costs can add up to 80% of the lifecycle cost of a blower. Screw blowers are a type of positive displacement blower. The internal compression process of a screw blower results in significantly lower energy consumption as a very limited amount of energy is transferred to heat.
That is why screw blowers are an energy-efficient alternative to classic rotary lobe blower solutions. On average, you can save up to 35-40% compared to lobe or roots style technology by opting for a highly efficient screw blower. The higher the pressure required by your application, the higher the potential savings and the lower your total cost of ownership.
Screw technology is the ideal technology for a variable speed configuration as the air compression energy efficiency level is rather constant at different operating points. Besides that, a very wide window of speeds can be obtained.
Opting for an energy-efficient solution such as our ZS screw blower results in a payback of your investment over time. A seemingly small design change can help you maximize your energy savings and the uptime of your production process.
Through constant innovation and research, we can offer you an energy-efficient and reliable range of screw blower solutions up to 1.5 bar(g)/ 22 psig.
Each screw blower model is meant to fit a specific flow rate and pressure demand.
We offer you both fixed speed and variable speed models. Our fixed speed models are designed for processes that require constant airflow delivery. Our variable speed drive units are suited for processes that require a variable airflow delivery. On top of that, we can also offer you premium VSD units, our ZS VSD⁺ units, that help you save even more on energy and total lifecycle costs.
