Gardner Denver positive displacement and dynamic blower technologies deliver reliable, energy-efficient airflow for critical industrial processes including wastewater treatment, pneumatic conveying, and gas handling.
With a comprehensive portfolio of rotary lobe, helical screw, magnetic bearing (maglev), and centrifugal blower technologies, alongside engineered blower packages, Gardner Denver supports both replacement applications and full system upgrades across a wide range of operating conditions and performance requirements.
Rotary Lobe Industrial Blowers stand out as the superior choice for maximizing productivity and minimizing energy costs across a range of industries and applications.
From proven rotary screw designs to advanced variable helix technology, CycloBlower maximizes efficiency while reducing operating costs.
High-speed Maglev blowers (50–400 kW) combine advanced magnetic bearing technology with proven design principles, delivering efficient, reliable, and low-maintenance low-pressure air solutions across a wide range of industrial applications.
Positive displacement blowers operate by moving a fixed volume of air or gas from inlet to discharge, making them a reliable solution for a wide range of industrial processes.
Within this category, Gardner Denver offers several blower technologies, each designed to balance airflow performance, noise, durability, and efficiency based on application requirements.
Selecting the right blower starts with understanding the application and the role the blower plays within the process.
Rather than beginning with product selection, the process should focus on the operating conditions, performance requirements, and environment in which the blower will be used.
Every blower is selected to perform a specific task, whether that is conveying materials, supporting aeration, or moving air or gas through a process.
Understanding the application helps define:
This step provides the foundation for all other decisions.
Once the application is clear, the next step is to define the performance requirements of the system.
Key factors include airflow and pressure, which determine the capacity and operating range needed for the blower.
It is important to consider both average operating conditions and peak demand to ensure the blower performs consistently across the full range of operation.
Environmental and operating conditions have a direct impact on blower performance and longevity.
Factors such as temperature, altitude, humidity, and available installation space can influence how a blower is sized and configured.
In more demanding environments, additional considerations such as chemical exposure or material compatibility may also be required to ensure reliable operation over time.
Blower selection is not only about meeting initial requirements, but also about long-term performance.
Energy efficiency, maintenance needs, and reliability all play a role in total cost of ownership.
Selecting a blower that aligns with both operational and lifecycle requirements helps reduce downtime and improve overall system performance.
A structured approach helps narrow the available options quickly and ensures the selected blower aligns with real operating conditions.
In many industrial applications, multiple blower technologies can be used to achieve similar outcomes. The difference typically comes down to airflow characteristics, noise levels, energy efficiency, and system preferences rather than the application itself.
For example, both rotary lobe and helical screw blowers may be used in wastewater treatment or pneumatic conveying, but the best choice depends on operating conditions and performance priorities.
