Today, blowers used in many different industries for different purposes provide the movement of air according to the desired conditions. Blower devices used for providing the required air for an environment or process or vacuuming the air from an environment are divided into different models according to certain parameters. Although it seems to do the same with a fan under normal conditions, blowers are used to transport air at a much higher flow rate.

Although the principle of operation is the same for all blower models, there are some minor differences. In the most widely used centrifugal blower products on the market, the impeller that provides the movement of air is directly connected to the electric motor shaft. In centrifugal type side channel blowers, as the engine starts, the air in the environment is taken from the suction section and pressurized and directed towards the exit area. Parameters such as number of blades and profile, propeller diameter, motor rotation speed, discharge pressure that must be supplied, affect the air flow directly.

In Roots blower models, the most important difference is that the rotating lobes in the body are not connected directly to the motor shaft, but externally by the belt-pulley principle. Thus, changes to the motor or lobe can be made independently according to certain criteria. It is possible to obtain higher air flow and more compressed air production with Roots blower products. If the amount of air needed for a process and the needed  discharge pressue is higher, the use of roots blowers would be a better choice.

Features of The Centrifugal Blower

Regardless of the Application area, specific conditions should be checked and supplied for centrifugal blowers as well as all equipment selections.  We can list the most important of these features as follows:

• Quiet operation; noise level is within the limits specified in the standards.

• Having a simple and compact design.

• High efficiency and ability to work under harsh conditions without degrading performance.

• Providing oil-free air.

• Maintenance intervals are long; low maintenance costs

While selecting the blower, determining some parameters in advance is very important for a stable, efficient and healthy application. Among these, besides the features such as needed air flow, temperature, pressure, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the environment in which the blower will operate. The characteristics of the medium directly affect the choice of material and type of body, propeller, accessories and other components of the blower device.

Where a Blower is used ?

All blower models, especially centrifugal blowers and roots blowers, have a wide range of applications. Blowers are needed in many different areas from cleaning to health, agriculture and animal processing to plastic, food to water treatment systems. Some of the typical applications using these devices are:

• Vehicle washing systems

• Jacuzzi and spa treatments

• Machines used for printing, steam ironing, etc.

• Mineral processing and methane gas aeration

• Agriculture and animal processing practices such as pesticide application, milking, aquaculture

• Chemical surface treatment

• Respirators

• Transportation of food products

•Aeration in Water treatment
