04 / TURBO BLOWER

Air-Bearing Turbo Blower

Air-foil bearings and a direct-coupled high-speed PM motor. Oil-free, gear-free, lubrication-free, and over 30% more efficient than a Roots blower.

Efficiency without decay

<80dB

Operating noise

The turbo blower floats its shaft on a film of air created by high-speed rotation. The bearing never touches, never wears, and needs no lubricating oil or gearbox, removing the energy, maintenance and noise problems of conventional blowers at the source.

The impeller and the high-speed permanent-magnet motor share one shaft for 100% transmission efficiency. A VFD adjusts airflow precisely between 45% and 100%, so the machine only supplies the air the load needs.

Six advantagesADVANTAGES

From the bearing to the complete unit, six ways air-bearing technology makes a difference.

Energy efficient
Over 30% more efficient than a conventional vortex blower.
Simple, intelligent control
Intuitive touch screen with 5 operating modes and 5 protection functions.
Low noise, no vibration
Under 80 dB with no vibration; no foundation or anchor bolts required.
Oil-free, maintenance-free
100% oil-free air-bearing system: no secondary contamination, no periodic servicing or bearing replacement.
Long, near-permanent life
Air-bearing technology gives a near-permanent service life with no efficiency loss over the life cycle.
Compact, easy to install
Highly integrated unit: small footprint, light weight, quick installation.

Conventional vs air bearingAIR BEARING

High energy use, high maintenance and high noise are shared by conventional and multistage centrifugal blowers. Air-bearing technology solves all three structurally.

CONVENTIONAL

Conventional / multistage centrifugal blower

High mechanical friction loss, low efficiency
Bearings and gears need regular maintenance
High power consumption over long runs
Airflow cannot follow the load precisely
Higher operating noise and vibration

TURBO BLOWER

Air-bearing turbo blower

Lower energy cost
Higher equipment efficiency
Longer service life
In step with energy-saving and carbon-reduction trends

Core technologyCORE TECHNOLOGY

Impeller and motor share one shaft in a direct-coupled design. No belts or pulleys in between, no transmission loss, 100% transmission efficiency.

Air-foil bearing

High-speed rotation floats the shaft on air. The bearing runs without vibration.
Simple construction. No lubricating oil supply or auxiliary equipment.
Non-contact operation. No servicing or repair.
Start/stop durability proven over 20,000 ON/OFF cycles.

3D-flow impeller

High-order modal analysis optimises the full-arc blade and flow path to avoid turbulence and reduce surge.
Precision-made from aerospace aluminium with strong corrosion resistance.
Machined on a 5-axis centre with tolerance held below 5/1000 mm.
Impeller is coupled directly to the shaft for up to 100% power transfer.
