Different Types of Low Pressure Pumps

Lobed Blowers

Uses a pair of timed two or three lobed rotor shafts in a shaped bore to create air movement. The same air end can be used to attain different pressures and flow by altering the ratio of the belt drive pulleys and if required, the motor size. This design gives high flow rates with pressures to around 1.5 Bar.

Claw Compressors

Uses claw technology to attain pressures to around 2 Bar. Quite compact compared to lobed blowers with no drive belts to change, but flow rates can be less.

Side Channels Blowers

Widely Available and cheap, model ranges can be large to cover various options of pressure and flow up to just over 1 Bar. Side channel blowers are not as efficient as claw pumps, but can give much higher flow rates at low pressures.

Rotary Vane Pumps

Usually carbon vaned dry running compressors, most popular in smaller sizes. Can be used for pressures up to around 1.5 Bar.

Key Features of Low Pressure Blowers

1. Operating Principle

They often use rotary lobe or positive displacement designs, which create a vacuum to draw air in and then push it out at a lower pressure.

2. Flow Rate

Low pressure blowers provide high volumes of air, making them suitable for various applications.

3. Efficiency

Many models are designed to be energy-efficient, reducing operating costs.

4. Durability

Built to withstand continuous operation, they are often used in industrial settings.

5. Noise Levels

Some designs are engineered for quieter operation, which is beneficial in noise-sensitive environments.

Applications of Low Pressure Blowers

1. Wastewater Treatment

Used for aeration in treatment plants to support the biological processes that clean wastewater.

2. Pneumatic Conveying

Ideal for transporting lightweight materials like grains, powders, and pellets through pipelines.

3. Aquaculture

Provides oxygenation in fish farming operations, enhancing fish health and growth.

4. Material Handling

Used in manufacturing processes for the movement of materials and products.

5. Vacuum Applications

Employed in vacuum packaging and other applications where low pressure is necessary for operation.

6. Dust Control

Utilized in various industries to help control dust during manufacturing and processing.

Low pressure blowers are versatile tools that play a vital role in numerous industrial applications, contributing to efficiency and effectiveness in processes that require air movement.

Anon

Maintenance Manager

Having had another Compressed Air Company in the area looking after us for some time, I found their service levels to be dropping and us being let down time and time again. I reached out to Dax Air to come in and take a look at our full compressed air system. They was able to advise immediately improvements on our old and tired air system, where we could save costs, as well as energy costs by supplying a new, more energy efficient compressor, as well as some pipe work improvements to fit our current needs.

Wayne Bolton

Engineering Manager, Newcold

Dax have provided us with both their maintenance and repair service and also their design and install services. As Europe’s largest cold storage warehouse, it can be a challenging environment to ensure that equipment is properly suited to our specifications, but the team at Dax work closely with us to ensure that any design is thoroughly thought through and the correct machines are installed so that our business is operating to its full potential. All equipment is serviced to a high standard and most importantly, we can rely on Dax to swiftly respond to any questions, issues or repairs.
