Elmo Rietschle Side Channel Blowers

Elmo Rietschle side channel blowers are industrial machines designed to move gases and gas-air mixtures by generating pressure using a rotating impeller within a side channel. They are known for their reliability, long lifespan, and relatively low noise levels, making them suitable for various applications like wastewater treatment, pneumatic conveying, and printing.

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

How they work:

A rotating impeller within the blower accelerates gas through the side channel.
The impeller blades impart kinetic energy to the gas, increasing its velocity and pressure.
This process continues as the gas moves along the side channel, resulting in a pressure increase.
Finally, the gas is discharged through the outlet, often through a silencer.

Key features and benefits:

Reliability and Durability:
Elmo Rietschle side channel blowers are known for their robust construction and long service life, often operating for extended periods with minimal maintenance.
Low Noise Levels:
Compared to other vacuum pumps and compressors, side channel blowers generally operate at lower noise levels.
Adjustable Speed:
Many models allow for speed adjustment through external or integral converters, enabling control over airflow and pressure.
