Precise Design
In the last few years, our engineering office, in association with two French research centers specialised in fluid mechanics, has upgraded the efficiency of our machines and we now offer a new generation of centrifugal blowers and exhausters.
As a result, Continental Industrie now presents a new high efficiency generation of between 100 to 50.000 m3/hr of a dry, clean, non pulsating air with pressures attaining 1,2 bar and vacuums up to 5500 mm H2O (WG).
The extremely simple design of our machines guarantees maximum reliability, which is absolutely necessary in all fields of industry in which production depends on the distribution of clean and dry air at a constant pressure.
Cast aluminium parts, precision machining to fine tolerances and the absence of contacting mechanical and wearing parts enable our machines to operate smoothly, practically without vibration, and with a very low sound level meeting European and American standards.
Design Features
Casing: Cast iron or cast aluminium housings, held securely by steel tie rods. Sections are standard with internal and/or external drains.
Shaft: Polished carbon steel or stainless steel for corrosive gas applications
Impellers: Cast or fabricated high strength aluminium, available in radial or backward curved vane configurations.
Bearings: Outboard mounted, grease or oil lubrication, sized for minimum 10 years bearing life. Optional water cooled bearings are available.
Seals: Carbon/graphite rings, single for air or double for gas applications, purge capability available.
Baffle Rings: For improved airflow into the impeller eye, resulting in higher efficiency and improved performance.
Balance Piston: Used to absorb up to 75% of the axial thrust load in blowers operating at higher flows and pressure ratios.
Bearing Housing: Cast iron housing with labyrinth seals to protect lubricant from contamination.
Cooling Fans: Models 77 and larger incorporate cast aluminium cooling fans to assist heat dissipation.
