Today we’ll explore the side channel blowers for water purification.
Side channel blowers are devices used in numerous industrial applications where a constant air flow is crucial. This includes water purification. These devices play a critical role in the water purification process, as they help maintain the efficiency of the aeration system.
Aeration is one of the key processes in water purification. During this process, water is aerated with oxygen to support the growth of bacteria that break down organic materials in the water. Aeration is essential to maintain water quality and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
Side channel blowers are used in this process to provide the necessary oxygen for bacterial growth. Side channel blowers consist of an impeller rotating inside a body, within which a specially designed duct conveys and compresses the air, directing it through a delivery duct. The pressurized air is then sent to one or more diffusers for a uniform distribution of micro-bubbles in the water. In this way, oxygen is provided to the bacterial colonies in the water.

Side channel blowers are available in different sizes and types (single-stage blowers, two-stage blowers, three-stage blowers, high-pressure blowers, Atex blowers, and more). This means they can be used in a wide range of water purification applications. For example, side channel blowers are used in domestic and industrial water treatment plants, wastewater treatment plants, surface water purification plants, and groundwater purification plants.
Another important feature of side channel blowers is their energy efficiency. These devices are designed to be highly energy-efficient, which means they use a minimal amount of energy to produce the pressurized air needed for the water purification process. This energy efficiency results in lower operating costs for water purification plants.
Side channel blowers are also relatively easy to install and maintain. These devices are designed to be robust and durable for industrial use. This means they require minimal maintenance over time. In addition, side channel blowers can be easily replaced or repaired if necessary, making them a flexible choice for water purification plant operators.
In summary, side channel blowers are essential devices for the water purification process. These devices play a crucial role in water aeration and in providing oxygen to bacterial colonies. Moreover, side channel blowers are highly energy-efficient, easy to install and maintain, and offer usage flexibility thanks to their variety of sizes and configurations.
In addition to water purification, side channel blowers are also used in various industrial applications.

Vacuum Pumps and Side Channel Blowers
Side Channel Blowers for Industry
Available for Immediate Delivery: Side Channel Vacuum Pumps
Side channel blowers are essential components for various industrial processes, where the transfer of air or gas at high pressure and constant flow is necessary. These machines use the centrifugal force produced by the rotation of an eccentric rotor inside a cylindrical chamber, creating a pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the channel.
Side channel blowers are suitable for the transfer of non-aggressive gases, such as air, exhaust gas, fumes, and vapors. They can be used in various processes, such as wastewater treatment, food and pharmaceutical industries, wood and metal processing. They are particularly suitable for the pneumatic transport of granular or powdery materials, such as the transfer of grains, powders, etc.

Those pumps are available in a wide range of capacities and pressures and can be customized to meet the specific needs of any application. Typically, these machines are made of cast iron or aluminum, depending on the required processing. But not only: the choice of construction material also depends on the operating conditions and operating temperature.
The operation of blowers is based on a simple but effective air compression technology. The air or gas to be transferred is sucked in from the machine's inlet and compressed as it passes through the side channel, where the necessary pressure is generated for fluid transfer.
The gas is then expelled from the machine's outlet, where it can be discharged or channeled to another application.
Those blowers can provide constant pressure even when the flow varies. This is possible thanks to their flow regulation technology, which allows maintaining a uniform flow when the inlet varies or providing constant pressure when the flow is changed.
This makes side channel blowers for the industry particularly suitable for processes that require constant pressure, such as mixing processes or pneumatic transport.
Moreover, thanks to their construction technology, the design that channels the air flow, and the low rotation speed, side channel blowers for the industry are characterized by low noise and vibration levels. This makes them particularly suitable for processes that require a low noise level.
Maintenance is essential to ensure their long life and proper functioning.
This must be carried out regularly, at predetermined intervals, and includes inspection and cleaning of mechanical parts and accessories, replacement of worn parts, and filter updates. However, the maintenance of side channel blowers is relatively simple and can often be carried out on-site even without qualified personnel (but still trained).
Another advantage of side channel blowers for the industry is their ease of installation. These machines can be installed both horizontally and vertically and can be easily integrated into existing systems.
Moreover, side channel blowers can provide constant pressure even with long pipe lengths. This makes them particularly suitable for processes where fluid transfer must be carried out over long distances.
In summary, side channel blowers are essential components for many industrial processes. Where the transfer of air or gas at high pressure and constant flow is required.
Thanks to their air compression technology, side channel blowers for the industry can provide constant pressure even when the flow varies. Making them particularly suitable for processes that require constant pressure.

Dry screw vacuum pumps have become the standard solution in almost all industrial vacuum processes. Brazing or sintering furnaces, metallurgical systems, and even steel degassing plants benefit from their dust resistance and minimal maintenance requirements. They are often used in food processing, drying, packaging, and even in freeze-drying processes, increasingly favoring oil-free screw pumps to prevent contamination from water or process debris.
Pros:
Cons:
These pumps belong to the family of dry compression gas transfer pumps. They use two screw-shaped rotors to move gas along the screw axis.
Dry screw vacuum pumps operate using two counter-rotating screw rotors, designed to rotate towards each other, trapping gas between the screws. As the screws rotate, this trapped gas volume decreases due to compression and moves towards the exhaust.
A motor drives the two rotors via a gear. The gears and bearings are lubricated but separated from the pumping mechanism by shaft seals or labyrinth seals, ensuring oil-free compression.
The rotors do not have any mechanical contact with each other or the pump housing, resulting in no mechanical wear. Modern pumps, driven by an electronic frequency converter, rotate more slowly at pressure intervals close to atmospheric pressure. Some versions use blow valves to maintain constant rotation speed even at high pressures. Cooling is typically water-based.
Dry screw vacuum pumps can achieve final pressures of 0.01 mbar, with an operating pressure range of 10³ to 10⁻² mbar. Various sizes are available with pumping speeds ranging from 60 to 1200 m³/h.
These pumps are widely used in various industries including:
