Runtech Turbo bower EP1000-44-D1
Turbo blowers are designed to operate efficiently across a wide range of vacuum levels and air flows. It allows paper mills to optimize vacuum levels whilst taking advantage of the higher efficiency a blower has over a traditional liquid ring pump device. High speed motors, driven by frequency converters, allow a typical turbo blower to provide paper machine vacuum levels between 30 and 70 kPa. A wider range of impeller designs allows highly efficient levels across the operating range. This means that the amount and the usage of throttling valves can be reduced to a minimum. The result is energy savings of 30 to 70% when compared with traditional vacuum systems.
Single and two-stage turbo blowers are of the generic centrifugal compressor type. Air enters a centrifugal fan impeller axially then passes through the impeller radially. Air is collected in the volute casing and discharged at a right angle to the inlet flow. As the impeller rotates, the air contained within the blade passage is forced outwards by centrifugal force. This process produces a continuous flow through the impeller.
Specifically, there are three stages to the pressure development through a centrifugal blower. First, air is forced through the impeller in a radial direction due to the centrifugal force. As the radius of the impeller increases the magnitude of the centrifugal force increases thus creating a pressure gradient i.e. an increase in the static pressure. Secondly, as the outlet area of the blade passage is larger than the inlet area the blade passage acts as a diffuser. The relative velocity decreases as the air flows through the blade passage leading to an additional increase in the static pressure at the impeller outlet. Finally, the motion of the blades adds rotational momentum to the flow increasing the tangential velocity of the air flow. The increase of the absolute velocity towards the end of the blade section in turn, increases the kinetic energy and dynamic pressure across the impeller.

A Blower for All Seasons
Runtech’s EP Series Turbo Blowers are the heart of our RunEco Paper Machine Vacuum Blower Systems. These systems are specifically designed for paper machines of any size in pulp and paper mills. Our Turbo Blowers also come in various sizes to operate efficiently across a wide range of vacuum levels and air flows. You can be sure that there’s an EP Series Turbo Blower that will accommodate any paper manufacturing process, big or small.
High Efficiency = Cost Savings
The EP Series Turbo Blowers are designed to be a high efficiency device. Start with their variable speed and capacity motor that gives you the vacuum power when you need it and low energy consumption when you don’t. This alone saves you 30-70% in energy usage.
The EP Series are completely water-free providing you with an environmentally responsible option while saving you more money. Add automatic speed control that adapts to changes in paper machine speed, felt quality and basis weight and you have one more reason to consider this remarkable product.
A Cinch to Install
The EP Series compact design makes for an easy install for both greenfield and retrofit installations. An integrated high-speed drive, which eliminates the need for a gearbox or a coupling allows the units to be installed directly on top of the concrete water separator, basement or machine level.
The impellers can be mounted directly on the motor shaft. More so, the installation can be performed during a normal paper machine shutdown or even with the machine still running to avoid unnecessary production losses.
