RL / Pressure and vacuum air systems

RL Three-Lobe Roots Blower

RL is a three-lobe Roots blower family with separate pressure and vacuum configurations in its catalogue. The document distinguishes blower body, complete pressure set and complete vacuum set codes. Its rotor arrangement and accessory options suit aeration and industrial air duties where the selected airflow and pressure are verified.

Series overview

Overview

The RL catalogue describes three-lobe rotors in a cast-iron casing, with oil-lubricated bearings and timing gears outside the compression chamber. It lists blower-only units as well as complete pressure and vacuum sets, with accessories such as silencers, valves and gauges on the applicable sets. Applications include wastewater aeration, aquaculture, liquid agitation, filter backwash, pneumatic conveying and drying.

Performance tables give airflow, pressure, speed and required power across the range. Choose the exact configuration for the intended pressure or vacuum duty, then include pipework losses in system sizing. The compression chamber delivers oil-free air.

Features

  • Three-lobe Roots rotor arrangement
  • Pressure and vacuum set configurations
  • No lubricant in the compression chamber
  • Oil-lubricated bearings and timing gears

Applications

  • Wastewater aeration
  • Filter backwash
  • Pneumatic conveying

Materials

FC25 cast-iron casing, rotors with SCM440 shafts and SNCM220 timing gears. The compression chamber contains no lubricant; bearings and timing gears are oil-lubricated.

Operating conditions

Choose pressure or vacuum operation according to configuration: RL is the blower body, RLC a pressure complete set and RLV a vacuum complete set. Check the series catalogue for the selected configuration.

Before selecting

  • Specify the required airflow and pressure or vacuum for the actual aeration or industrial process.
  • Select the model, operating speed and drive from the corresponding performance table.
  • Confirm whether the scope is a blower body, pressure set or vacuum set, including the required accessories.

Series questions

Does oil-free air mean there is no oil in the whole blower?

No. The catalogue states that no lubricant is present in the compression chamber, while the bearings and timing gears are oil-lubricated.

How do RL, RLC and RLV differ?

RL identifies the blower body only. RLC is a complete set for pressure operation, and RLV is a complete set for vacuum operation.

GB Ring Blower

GB is a ring-blower family offered in single-stage and double-stage configurations. The catalogue separates blowing and suction applications and provides airflow, pressure and vacuum data by model. Its direct-mounted impeller arrangement makes it a different air-moving technology from the RL three-lobe Roots blower.
