Understanding your compressed air needs
- Rotary lobe blowers: These blowers offer a low-cost, easy-to-use, and dependable option for operations requiring a low volume of low pressure compressed air for a limited number of hours. These positive displacement blowers are known for their reliability – even in tough conditions. This means they are very suited for several pneumatic conveying applications. Their simple design makes them easy to maintain, and a low noise emission contributes to their user-friendliness.
- Screw blowers: These blowers are much more energy-efficient than lobe blowers. As a result, in applications with high compressed air demand, they can quickly make up for their higher investment costs with energy savings.
