5 reasons to switch to Generation 5
Aerzen Maschinenfabrik were the first blower manufacturer to design a compact unit in 1960 and the Delta Blower Generation 5 is actually the fifth generation of Aerzen blower units, uniquely combining both tradition and cutting edge innovation.
The new series offers 5 main advantages to customers – hence the name Generation 5
- Lower sound levels
Sound levels have been reduced by an average of 6-8 dBA and in some cases even more. Consequently costly special measures such as acoustic hoods are no longer required.
- Simple operation and easy maintenance
The new design units are easily transportable by means of a pallet truck or fork lift. The units are delivered with a service pack, including a jack, oil funnel and initial fill of oil to simplify commissioning. All maintenance procedure can be carried out from the front of the unit. The new oil system is a key advantage as the oil level can be viewed and checked from the outside of the unit, even when it is in operation, therefore reducing production shutdowns as well as operating time and costs.
- Mechanical fan
A mechanical fan mounted on the blower drive shaft is used to ventilate the acoustic hood so an electric fan is not required, this saves additional installation and energy costs. A further advantage is that the new units are fully ATEX compliant which means that expensive ex-proof motors are not required and this represents a considerable cost saving for the customer.
- Absorption material eliminated
Because the sound level has been reduced by deflecting the air flow within the silencer there is no need for absorption material in any part of the unit. As absorption material is subject to degradation the downstream system cannot therefore become contaminated when used for pneumatic conveying of bulk food materials. Similarly, sewage aeration systems cannot become blocked and costly maintenance procedures and production losses are eliminated.
- Space saving design
The new units have been designed to use minimal floor space and can even by installed side by side. In addition, the smaller units have been reduced in size allowing savings in the form of smaller installation areas or blower rooms.
Further advantages for Delta Blower Generation 5 include compliance with PED guidelines and the standard use of energy efficient EFF1 motors. The base support is also certified as spark resistant for ATEX applications, so eliminating the need for a downstream spark arrester when pneumatically conveying bulk materials with explosive dust. The intake silencer is positioned to draw air from the coolest point to guarantee optimal ventilation of the unit even at critical ambient temperatures.
The Delta blower Generation 5 is available in 9 sizes and 5 nominal widths for intake volume flows from approximately 60m3/hr up to 3,600m3/hr and overpressures up to 1000 mbar.
Generation 5 represents almost half a century of constant development and German engineering to bring the world’s most advanced blowers to the market today. |
