Our factory is strategically located just 30 kilometers from Lyon, right in the heart of Europe. Throughout the years, Continental Industrie has assembled a dynamic and seasoned team, forming a human structure consisting of engineers, technicians, and sales professionals, all with a singular goal: to provide the industry with top-notch equipment for the transportation of air and/or gas.
In recent years, our engineering center, collaborating with two specialized French research centers in fluid mechanics, has fine-tuned the efficiency of our machines, presenting a new generation of blowers and vacuum pumps.
As a result, Continental Industrie can offer a comprehensive range of machines capable of supplying from 100 to 55,000 m3/hr of dry, clean, and pulsation-free air, reaching relative pressures of up to 1.8 bars or vacuum pressures of up to 6,700 mmH2O (WG).
The remarkably simple design of our machines ensures maximum safety, a critical factor in all industrial sectors where production relies on the distribution of dry, clean air at a constant pressure. The cast aluminum parts, high-precision manufacturing and tolerances, and the absence of contact-wear mechanical parts contribute to the machines operating in extremely safe conditions—virtually without vibrations and with an exceptionally low noise level, in compliance with European and American regulations.
Body: The support is crafted from cast aluminum or iron, securely sealed with steel bars. Standard sections feature internal or external drains.
Shaft: Crafted from polished carbon steel or stainless steel for corrosive applications.
Impellers: Molded or fabricated from high-strength aluminum, available with radial or backward-curved blade configurations.
Bearings: Externally mounted, lubricated with grease or oil, and designed for a minimum life of 10 years. Optional water-cooled bearings are available.
Gaskets: Carbon or graphite rings, single for air and double for gas, with an option for purge function.
Reflector rings: Designed to enhance airflow in the center of the impeller, improving overall performance.
Balance piston: Engineered to absorb up to 75% of the axial thrust load in blowers operating under high-pressure flows and ratios.
Bearing Body: The cast iron housing includes labyrinth sealing to protect lubricant from contamination.
Cooling Fans: Models 77 and above incorporate cast aluminum cooling fans to enhance heat dissipation.
