Require Constant Airflow Throughout Your Facility? Invest in Affordable Roots Blowers
Get Roots Blowers From Compresstech
How Roots Blowers Work
One can say that each type operates by pumping fluid using meshing lobes that closely resemble stretched gears. Once the compression chamber comes in contact with the outlet port, compressed air flows back into the housing from the pressure side. Since further compression occurs as the volume of the chamber further decreases with continued rotation, compression takes place against full counter-pressure. This results in low efficiency and a relatively high noise level, making the machine ideal for applications requiring very low pressure and single-stage compression.
What Are the Applications of Roots Blowers?
Roots blowers can be used in a variety of industries. They are commonly found in manufacturing facilities and processing plants, where they are used for the following:
Wastewater Treatment
Roots blowers are used to create a vortex that moves the wastewater through the system. They can be fitted with an impeller, a rotating device that pushes water and solids in one direction. The impeller is located in the center of roots blowers and spins to move water in the desired direction. In addition, these machines are sometimes used for grit tank cleaning, filter flushing, and backwashing.
Soil Remediation
The remediation of soil is done by cleaning up spills from vehicles that transport petroleum products and industrial solvents. In many cases, it involves the extraction of highly volatile organic compounds like hydrocarbons and solvents. Roots blowers are used for this process because they can help evaporate these substances by moving large quantities of air through the contaminated soil. Afterward, the polluted air is processed so it can be safely exhausted into the atmosphere.
Pneumatic Conveying
Oil-free roots blowers are utilized by food processing and pharmaceutical companies to supply air throughout their manufacturing procedures. These machines help transfer powder and granular materials, ensuring little to no product waste. Additionally, these facilities often have wastewater treatment systems, as well, to process the materials used during production.
