Description

Heavy-duty, adaptable, bi-lobe rotary blowers with minimized vibration, stress, and noise

The ROOTS® RGS Series blowers are engineered for demanding, continuous-duty gas applications. Featuring a unique wraparound plenum and WHISPAIR™ jet design, these units efficiently manage the rapid return of gas from the discharge, reducing noise and mechanical stress.

• Pressure to 35 psig (2413 mbar)
• Vacuum to 16” Hg (539 mbar)
• Flows to 43,200 cfm (73,440 m³/hr)

Key Features

• Rugged, detachable steel mounting feet for flexible installation
  
• Hardened alloy steel spur timing gears
  
• Cylindrical roller bearings for enhanced durability
  
• Piston ring-type air seals
  
• Hydrodynamic lip-type seals on drive shaft
  
• Splash-lubricated spur gears and drive-end bearings

Benefits

• Noise Control & Efficiency: RGS WHISPAIR™ blowers integrate specially engineered impellers and a patented WHISPAIR jet that minimizes pressure fluctuation, reduces operating noise, and enhances efficiency.
• Robust Design: Built with integral-shaft ductile iron impellers, a solid cast-iron casing, and reinforced headplates, the RGS blower is tailored for demanding gas applications.
• Superior Sealing: Precision piston rings and oil seals ensure minimal air leakage and prevent oil intrusion into the air stream, while hydrodynamic sealing on the drive shaft provides added leak protection.
• Reliable Lubrication: Alloy steel gears are carburized and ground, and operate with splash lubrication on both ends to maintain consistent performance.
• Flexible Installation: Mounting feet are field-adaptable for horizontal or vertical configurations, with shaft extensions available to suit various outlet arrangements.
• Assured Reliability: Covered under a comprehensive warranty—24 months from initial start-up or 30 months from shipment, whichever occurs first.
