Overview
CA | CABD
Performance Flexibility
Cast aluminum pressure blowers are available in seven
housing sizes that can be fitted with multiple impeller and
inlet configurations to meet any performance requirement.
In the event that performance needs change, a simple
change of the impeller and/or inlet can be made. These
fans have been air and sound tested in Aerovent’s AMCA
accredited Test Laboratory.

Fan bearings are mounted on a pedestal out of the
airstream. Recommended for contaminated air applications
or high temperature applications up to 200°F.
Arrangement 4
Direct drive fan with the impeller mounted directly to the
motor shaft. Compact and easy to maintain design for
applications where exact requirements are established.
Maximum temperature is 150°F.
Arrangement 4HI
Arrangement 4 fan with the motor mounted in a vertical
position without a motor pedestal.
Arrangement 9
Belt driven fan with the motor mounted on the side
of the bearing pedestal. Designed for contaminated air
applications or applications where temperatures will reach
200°F. Unit ships as a complete assembly with motor and
drive mounted.

Dust Collecting &
Pneumatic Conveying
Pneumatic conveying embraces both dust collecting and conveying. In a typical system the amount of material transported
is low compared to the amount of air used. Usually, a large quantity of fast-flowing air is needed to assure entrainment
of material. Consequently, the materials moved have little effect on the performance of the fan.
Where the sole purpose of the pneumatic system is to convey as much material as possible, different factors are involved.

dust suspended. The material conveying capacity of a system varies as the
square of the velocity since it is a function of the velocity
Material Conveying pressure.
The problem of inducing the material into a conveying
system is often a difficult one. The best overall method
is one that feeds the material into the airstream evenly
by either mechanical or gravity means. It is often required
that the fan pick the material up as well as convey it.
One misbelief frequently encountered is that the ability of
a system to pick up material is due to the fan’s suction
pressure. Suction in itself is useless. It is the velocity
moving past the material that induces it to flow. For this
reason, it is important not to plug up the entrance of the
duct with material to be conveyed.
