Industrial blowers have different inner machinations depending on the type you get. If you have a centrifugal blower, you can expect your machine to use centrifugal force created by a rotating disk. It also has a rotating impeller to move air first radially outwards and then tangentially away from the blade tips. The speed of the gas increases as the air reaches the ends of the blades before being converted into pressure.

For those with axial blowers, your machine will utilize axial forces to spin a central hub with blades that extend radially from its outer diameter. The air is then pressurized by the aerodynamic lift generated by the fan blades. Compared to other models, these machines have less rotating mass and are much smaller.

Despite their differences, both types of blowers are often used to exhaust contaminated air and supply fresh air to specific locations. They are typically inexpensive, compact, and light, perfect for simple extraction or cooling applications with minimal system resistance.
