HR
ROTARY
Positive Displacement
Air Blowers - Sizes 1& 2
Based on Success
HR Blowers are one of the world’s leading air blower
manufacturers and have a reputation for quality, innovation
and service.
Design Features
The conservative load carrying capacity of
the larger diameter rolling element bearings
ensures an extended operating life.
Timing gear life is also extended by
controlled lubrication systems.
The computer calculated impeller profiles
ensure maximum volumetric efficiency
with minimum absorbed power without
sacrificing torsional rigidity.
The high rigidity of the impeller / shafts
permits a higher pressure rise to be
obtained than with other machines of
comparable size.
The generous shaft diameter keeps drive
stresses low.
Gear and shaft strength is substantially
increased by the use of taper mounted gears
which do not need keyways for location.
Setting of the gear wheels to obtain correct
timing of the impellers is simplified, a
feature that facilitates field maintenance.
Precision ground and hardened steel gears
are used to ensure smooth, silent running
and accurate tming of the rotating impellers.
A controlled lubrication system is provided
to ensure efficient operation without waste
of energy in the gearcase.
Specially designed rotary oil seals are used
in the gearcase. This feature eliminates
maintenance associated with the use of
lip seals.
Design and manufacture is in accordance
with metric standards.
Use as an Exhauster
If used as an exhauster and dust or liquids
could be drawn into the machine due to
inadequate filtration, closed end rotors
should be specified. This will minimise risk
of loss of dynamic balance due to material
inside the rotors.
Specification
CASING: The cylinder and headplates are
manufactured from cast iron. The gearcase
is manufactured from aluminium.
IMPELLERS AND SHAFTS: The impellers are
made from SG iron, and cast with integral
shafts. The shaft diameter of machines in
the HR Blowers range is larger than that of
earlier designs, enabling increased operating
pressures to be achieved without increasing
blower size.
GEARS: The precision ground and hardened
steel spur gears are taper mounted onto
the impeller shafts. The timing of the
impellers relative to each other is accurately
maintained at all times.
BEARINGS: The bearings are of generous
proportions to give long operational life.
Grease lubricated double row ball bearings
are used at the drive end of the blower. In
addition to their normal duty of carrying
radial loads associated with the differential
air pressure on the rotating impellers, the
ball bearings provide axial location of the
impellers. Parallel roller bearings at the rear
end splash lubrication by oil from the gears.
LUBRICATION: An advanced design of
controlled gear wheel lubrication enables
the gears to operate at a high pitch line
velocity without the need for an oil pump.
Simple, maintenance free oil throwers fitted
behind each bearing in the gearcase prevent
leakage of oil.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION: Detachable
mounting feet enable the blower to be
positioned for either vertical or horizontal
air flow. Standard machines have a right
hand drive shaft for vertical air flow, and a
bottom drive shaft for horizontal air flow.
If machines are required with a left hand or
top drive shaft, all that needs to be done is
turn the gearcase and trough through 180º.
Centre timing permits clockwise or anti-
clockwise drive shaft rotation.

User Benefits
The delivered air is guaranteed
to be oil free because internal
lubrication is unnecessary, and
because all HR Blowers Positive
Displacement Air Blowers are
constructed with air gaps which
completely isolate bearing and gear
lubrication from the compression
chamber.
Noise levels are kept to a minimum.
Mechanical noise levels have been
reduced by the running accuracy of
the taper mounted gears. Air noise
is reduced by carefully designed air
ports and the elimination of
resonant unbraced surfaces.
The blower can be installed for
either vertical or horizontal air flow
simply by repositioning the
mounting feet. Installation costs
can be reduced by versatility of
mounting arrangement.
The generous diameter of the drive
shaft permits the use of V-belt drives
without the need for a double outer
bearing.
All machines are performance
tested under the most arduous
design conditions before despatch.
Air blowers can also be used as air
exhausters. Performance charts on
application.
