Description

Rugged, low-noise bi-lobe vacuum blower with water seal

The ROOTS® RAM Series vacuum blower uses water injection for enhanced vacuum performance and incorporates WHISPAIR™ technology to reduce sound and pressure fluctuations during operation.

• Vacuum up to 24” Hg (813 mbar)
• Airflow up to 3550 cfm (6030 m³/hr)

Key Features

• Water injection system for improved vacuum performance
• Removable steel mounting feet for flexible installation
• Hardened alloy steel timing gears for long-lasting operation
• Cylindrical roller bearings for enhanced load capacity
• Piston ring air seals to reduce internal leakage
• Hydrodynamic lip-type seal on drive shaft to prevent oil escape
• Splash-lubricated spur gears and drive-end bearings for smooth operation

Benefits

• Water Injection System: Includes a seal water flow meter and inlet spray nozzle, enabling deeper vacuum levels and improved system efficiency.
• Noise & Vibration Control: WHISPAIR™ design with integral-shaft impellers and patented jet ports minimizes pulsation, noise, and power loss.
• Durable Construction: Built with ductile iron impellers featuring an involute profile, grey iron headplates, and a one-piece casing for maximum strength.
• Effective Sealing: Piston rings and lip-type seals keep air leakage to a minimum while the hydrodynamic drive-end seal prevents oil intrusion.
• Reliable Gear Lubrication: Precision-ground alloy steel spur gears are splash-lubricated at both ends, maintaining consistent performance and separation of oil and airflow.
• Installation Flexibility: Steel feet can be positioned to accommodate either horizontal or vertical mounting, with optional extended shaft configurations.
• Comprehensive Warranty: Backed by a 24-month warranty from startup or up to 30 months from original shipping date.
