Positive Displacement
Air Blowers - Sizes 3& 4
Based on Success
HR Blowers are one of the world’s leading air blower
manufacturers and have a reputation for quality, innovation
and service.
Design Features
The conservative load carrying capacity of
the larger diameter rolling element bearings
ensures an extended operating life.
Timing gear life is also extended by
controlled lubrication systems.
The computer calculated impeller profiles
ensure maximum volumetric efficiency
with minimum absorbed power without
sacrificing torsional rigidity.
The high rigidity of the impeller / shafts
permits a higher pressure rise to be
obtained than with other machines of
comparable size.
The generous shaft diameter keeps drive
stresses low.
Gear and shaft strength is substantially
increased by the use of taper mounted gears
which do not need keyways for location.
Setting of the gear wheels to obtain correct
timing of the impellers is simplified, a
feature that facilitates field maintenance.
Precision ground and hardened steel
gears are used to ensure smooth, silent
running and accurate timing of the rotating
impellers. A controlled lubrication system
is provided to ensure efficient operation
without waste of energy in the gearcase.
Specially designed rotary oil seals are used
in the gearcase. This feature eliminates
maintenance associated with the use of
lip seals.
Design and manufacture is in accordance
with metric standards.
Use as an Exhauster
If used as an exhauster and dust or liquids
could be drawn into the machine due to
inadequate filtration, closed end rotors
should be specified. This will minimise risk
of loss of dynamic balance due to material
inside the rotors.

diameter of machines in the HR Blowers
range is larger than that of earlier designs,
enabling increased operating pressures to
be achieved without increasing blower size.

the impeller shafts. The timing of the
impellers relative to each other is accurately User Benefits
