Its design is fundamentally different from other belt driven units. This is because the blower head is cast and machined as a single piece with equally spaced bearings configured specifically to provide even loading from the belt drive which allows the belt to be run at much lower tension resulting in significantly reduced loads on all parts of the assembly.
In addition to fulfilling ACI’s customers’ diverse requirements, it is also at the heart of the company’s own highly successful bottle and can drying systems which are installed in the breweries and soft drinks plants of leading international companies around the world.
Performance figures:
Flow rates up to 1200CFM / 100In.SWG
Pressures up to 5.5 to 15kW
The EP10A Compact Blower – ACI’s Competitive Advantage
a. New Improved Design
The EP10A industrial blower is one of ACI’s principal and versatile products. Its design is fundamentally different from other belt driven units because the blower head is cast and machined as a single piece with equally spaced bearings configured specifically to provide even loading from the belt drive which allows the belt to be run at much lower tension resulting in significantly reduced loads on all parts of the assembly.
