Airtec - Side Channel Blowers
Here at Airtec UK we sell side channel blowers for many different manufacturing and industrial needs. Side Channel blowers are the first choice in many automation projects for applications requiring higher pressures or vacuums than can be economically produced by a centrifugal or high speed blower. The RT Range of side channel blowers are suitable for a single or three phase supply. They are capable of producing pressures up to 700mbar or vacuum up to 450 mbar with volume flow rates up to 550 m3 per hour. RT Side channel blowers have the added benefits of a low noise operation(64-88db) and are a compact, virtually maintenance free design.
We supply Side Channel Blowers, Airtec side channel blowers deliver moderate volumes of clean dry air at high pressures when compared to Centrifugal Blowers. Side channel blowers are ideal for compact air knife applications and many other automation projects.
Side channel blowers (sometimes called a vacuum pump or regenerative blower) are air delivery systems that produce relatively high air flow (when compared to compressed air) and much higher pressure capabilities than traditional centrifugal type blowers.
This makes them the ideal choice for smaller air knife applications, product conveying, vacuum holding, aeration of spa pools to name but a few examples.
Specially designed Three-dimensional blower blades enable the air between blades to accelerate along the blade and diameter directions due to rotations. The air is forced to return back to the bottoms of the blades due to pressure difference when entering the blower paths and then accelerates again. This kind of air running movement repeats again and again (the regenerative effect) to result in compression and pressure intensification due to the spiral movement of the air in the blower paths. When the air moves toward the outlet, it will be forced to expel.
- Our Airtec RT Range of side channel blowers are available for single phase supply (up to 1.75kw) or three phase with standard supply voltage of 400 vac / 200vac.
- All motors are dual wound as standard with the upper STAR and lower DELTA voltages selectable via link changes within the motor terminal box. Other voltages are available on request. All motors are high efficiency class H insulated IP55 induction motors.
- They are inverter rated and are suitable for continuous operation between 40 and 60hz. All RT units fully comply with UL/CE and CuL listings. The units are manufactured from cast aluminium and are suitable for maximum ambient operating temperatures of 40 degrees C.
- The Airtec blowers are extremely robust and reliable. They have gained an enviable reputation for quality and reliability and have an excellent track record over the last 20 years of supply.
