Blower operates at 180°C

12 August 2014

Air Control Industries' EP10AH industrial blower is designed to handle inlet temperatures of up to 180°C without any significant temperature increase of the bearings.

 

Low temperature rise is achieved by integrating a heat dissipation ‘spinner’ disk in a vented housing between blower unit and impeller. This avoids the need for cooling water.

Features include de-rated AC motors and a ‘finger-proof’ pierced metal belt guard that allows air to enter and circulate freely.

The EP10 family of blowers has a low maintenance requirement; the blower head is cast and machined as a single piece with equally spaced bearings configured to provide even loading from the belt drive. The belt can be run at a lower tension, resulting in lower loads on all parts of the assembly.

The single piece construction also guarantees correct alignment of the integrated precision spindle. The outcome is a robust and efficient assembly that is said to improve manufacture and enhance stability and reliability – essential with operating speeds to 20,000 rpm and deliveries of 1200cfm.
