Regular visual checks maintenance will make your blower last for many years. Any time the blower is serviced, confirm the motor and blower direction of rotation as marked on the blower, plate and motor. \u00a0An incorrectly fitted or tensioned belt will cause vibration, belt ware and bearing failure at the pulley side of the blower. A bad belt can cause vibration, dust and a heating problem at the pulley end of the blower. \u00a0Poor filtration will affect the quality of the process air. It will cause a build-up of air borne material on the impeller and scroll clearance, thus creating bearing failure and lock up of the blower.<\/p>\n

ACI do not recommend to customers to rebuild blowers outside of our own facility. Our blowers go through precision balancing processes. If the blower is not precision balanced when rebuilt, there is a danger of the blower breaking apart and causing personal injury to anyone in the immediate area.<\/p>\n

Normally a quote on the cost of the repair is sent to our customers within 48 hours after receiving the failed blower head. The standard lead time for the repair is 3-5 business days after receipt of the repair order.<\/p>\n
