A side channel blower (also known as a regenerative or ring blower) is a tough, oil-free air pump. It moves a large volume of air at a steady pressure or suction, runs relatively quietly, and has just one moving part, so it needs very little maintenance and tends to last for years.
With a small 0.81 kW motor, this is one of the more compact units in the range, moving up to 47 cubic metres of air per hour. It can blow air at up to 490 mbar of pressure or pull a vacuum of up to 370 mbar. As a rule of thumb, the bigger these numbers, the more push or pull the blower can deliver. It requires a three-phase industrial electrical supply.
Being a two-stage (double) blower, it develops noticeably more pressure and suction than a single-stage unit of a similar size. That makes it a good choice when the job needs stronger push or pull rather than sheer volume of air.
Typically used for: aerating fish farms, ponds and wastewater treatment tanks; pneumatic conveying of powders and granules along pipework; supplying air to packaging and blown-film lines.
