Roots blower
A Roots blower is a positive displacement blower that operates using a pair of meshing blades called rotors. It is commonly used in various industries such as pneumatic conveying, wastewater treatment, aeration, vacuum systems, etc.
Main features of Roots blower:
Positive Displacement: A Roots blower is a positive displacement blower, which means it delivers a constant volume of air or gas at a fixed speed independent of changes in pressure.
Dual-lobe design: It consists of two rotors or lobes that rotate in opposite directions without touching. The vanes capture air or gas and channel it from the inlet to the outlet.
High Efficiency: Roots blowers have high volumetric efficiency and can deliver large volumes of air or gas with low energy consumption.
Low Noise and Vibration: It is designed to run smoothly with low noise and vibration levels, ensuring a quieter working environment.
Rugged Construction: Roots blowers are typically constructed of durable materials, such as cast iron or stainless steel, to withstand harsh industrial conditions.
Ease of maintenance: Roots blowers are designed for easy maintenance, requiring simple access to the rotor and bearings for inspection and repair.
Application of Roots Blower:
Pneumatic conveying: Widely used in bulk material handling in food processing, chemical, mining and other industries, such as conveying grain, powder, cement, granules, etc.
Sewage treatment: Roots blowers play a vital role in the aeration process of sewage treatment plants, providing oxygen for biological treatment and promoting the growth of aerobic bacteria.
Vacuum system: It can be used for vacuum drying, vacuum lifting, vacuum packaging and other vacuum applications.
Aeration: Roots blowers are used in the aeration systems of ponds, lakes and fish farms to maintain the proper oxygen levels required by aquatic organisms.
Industrial Processes: It finds application in various industrial processes that require air or gas circulation, cooling or pressure generation.
