Rotary Lobe Blowers
Rotary Lobe Blowers, commonly referred to as Roots Blowers, are a type of positive displacement blower. They use two counter-rotating lobes to move air, creating a fixed volume of air per revolution. These blowers are known for their reliability, high performance, and efficiency in handling various industrial applications.
Principle of Operation
- Mechanism: Air is trapped between the rotating lobes and the housing, and as the lobes turn, the trapped air is pushed through the discharge port.
- Positive Displacement: Provides a consistent volume of air regardless of changes in system pressure.
Characteristics
- High Volume and Moderate Pressure: Suitable for applications requiring large volumes of air at moderate pressures.
- Robust Construction: Typically built to withstand harsh operating conditions and high demand.
- Noise Levels: Can be noisy, but modern designs often include noise-reduction features.
Applications
- Pneumatic Conveying: Moving bulk materials through pipelines.
- Wastewater Treatment: Providing aeration in treatment tanks.
- Vacuum Systems: Generating vacuum for various industrial processes.
- Aquaculture: Aerating fish tanks and ponds.
Industrial Blowers
Industrial blowers are versatile machines used to move air or gases in various applications. They can be categorized into several types based on their operation and application requirements:
- Centrifugal Blowers
- High Pressure: Suitable for applications needing higher pressure.
- Variable Airflow: Can handle varying airflows efficiently.
- Axial Flow Blowers
- High Airflow: Best for applications requiring large volumes of air.
- Low to Moderate Pressure: Ideal for ventilation and cooling systems.
- Regenerative Blowers
- High Efficiency: Provide continuous airflow with low noise.
- Moderate Pressure: Good for vacuum systems and aeration.
- Side Channel Blowers
- High Pressure: Generate high pressure with centrifugal force.
- Vacuum Applications: Commonly used in material handling and packaging.

Your benefits:
Low investment costs – high efficiency
Rotary lobe blower systems from KAESER are unbeatable when it comes to operations with low working pressures and short running periods. The special OMEGA Profile featured on KAESER’s three-lobe rotary lobe blowers guarantees high levels of energy efficiency. Low investment costs pay off particularly quickly in applications and processes which require a reliable supply of a constant air volume.
Modular and compact
Thanks to their modular design, KAESER blower systems can be configured individually, depending on the application in question. Anything is possible, from simple sound enclosures to a fully automated system. What is more, KAESER rotary lobe blowers are designed to be particularly compact, meaning installation side-by-side poses no problem at all.
Robust and durable
When it comes to KAESER blower blocks and airends, “long service life” and “low maintenance costs” are not just catchphrases. The foundations for these qualities are laid down during the manufacturing stage: All KAESER rotary lobe blowers feature precisely machined timing gears, highly durable roller bearings and precision-balanced rotors.
Product details
Innovative installation concept

To save space, multiple COMPACT blower units can be installed side by side. All maintenance and installation work can be performed through the front or top of the unit. All valves are mounted directly on the blower unit. The pipe connections and cooling air apertures are located at the rear.
Robust construction – low maintenance requirements
KAESER Rotary lobe blowers with extremely durable bearings.
The OMEGA blower block delivers pressures up to 15 psig, block discharge temperatures up to 320 °F, a broad control range with speed-controlled operation, Q 2.5 rotor balancing for quieter operation, extended service life and minimal maintenance requirements.
An extremely high rotor balancing quality of Q 2.5, combined with the rotors’ single-piece design including the shaft ends, ensures a vibration-free, low-noise operation. Rotor tips with integrated sealing strips ensure the blower block is more resistant to dust particles and thermal stress.
