CycloBlower Features

CLEAN AIR / GAS DELIVERY - Lubrication is not required within the compression chamber, since the rotors do not touch each other or the housing. The outboard position of rotor bearings allows atmospheric venting between the compression chamber and the bearings and gears. This prevents gear and bearing lubricants from contaminating the compression chamber and the air or gas to provide clean air /gas delivery.
 
EFFICIENT, SHOCK FREE COMPRESSION - The screw-type rotors generate a balanced compression cycle, providing a smooth and steady discharge and eliminating the sudden release of trapped pockets or air into the line.  Contoured inlet and discharge ports minimize turbulence to provide efficient, shock-free compression.
 
HIGH CAPACITY - LOW WEIGHT - Compact design, selection of optimum performance parts and materials, and accurately maintained tolerances allow the CycloBlower to be operated at high speeds, with resulting increased capacity for relatively low unit weight. Direct or step-up drive permits the use of less expensive standard motors.
 
INSTALLATION FLEXIBILITY - Units may be driven by any normal source of power that provides adequate speed and horsepower. The capacity of each model covers a broad range of pressure and air delivered, depending upon speed and input horsepower. They may be applied in pressure or vacuum service, and can be equipped to handle a variety of gases in addition to normal air service.
 
DEPENDABLE, LONG-LIFE SERVICE - The basic compression principle, with two rotating parts that do not touch, eliminates wear within the compression chamber. CycloBlower does not require valves and other reciprocating parts that are subject to wear. Dynamic balancing of rotors provides smooth operation.
 
LOW COST INSTALLATION - Special foundations are not required; simple base mounting is adequate. CycloBlower units require a minimum of floor space. Complete installation can be kept simple, adding only those accessories required for a given installation.
