History of the Roots Blower
The history of the Roots blower dates back to the mid-19th century. At that time, German engineers Philipp Reichenbach and Philipp Hermann used the machine to transport gas in the gas lamp industry. In 1874, American engineers Francis Roots and Philander Moos used the Roots blower for wind power generation, which further promoted the development of this equipment. The Roots blower became popular. Through continuous improvement and innovation, modern Roots blowers have achieved a high level of automation and intelligence, becoming an indispensable piece of equipment in industrial production.
What is a roots blower
The Roots Blower, also known as a drum blower, is a mechanical device that uses high-speed rotating gears or chains to draw air in and then squeeze it out to produce high pressure. It can be used to transport air to process equipment in metallurgy, chemical, cement, food and paper industries, and is also widely used in waste gas treatment, biogas circulation, clean air, gas-blown combustion, etc. The advantages of roots blower are simple structure, easy maintenance, low noise, high transmission efficiency and good corrosion resistance, so it is widely used in various industrial fields.
Applications of Roots Blowers
Roots blowers can be widely used in many fields because of their high power, low noise, smooth operation and easy maintenance. The following are some common application areas:
- Wastewater treatment plants: Roots blowers are capable of conveying gases to wastewater treatment plants to promote fermentation and oxidation of wastewater treatment.
- Gas water heaters: Roots blowers can transport gas and air mixtures to make gas water heaters burn more efficiently.
- Environmental protection industry: Roots blowers can be used to reduce pollution from exhaust gases, wastewater and waste, and assist in the treatment of industrial exhaust gases and industrial fumes.
- Food industry: Roots blowers can transport air or gas from food processing equipment to ovens or drying equipment to achieve drying, heating, cooling and other processes.
- Chemical industry: Roots blowers can transport gases to reactors to promote chemical reactions.
- Paper industry: Roots blowers can be used for pulse blowing off and paper fixing in the paper making process.
- Loading and unloading industry: Roots blowers can convey airflow into material transfer equipment to realize unloading, conveying, loading and other operations of materials.
