BLOWERS
An industrial blower moves large volumes of air or gas at low to medium pressure. While a compressor builds up high pressure, a blower provides a continuous volume flow—exactly what you need for aeration, pneumatic conveying, and process air.
SK Compressor Service supplies lobe blowers, screw blowers, and turbo blowers from Kaeser and other top brands. Suitable for water treatment, the food industry, the chemical industry, and logistics. Whether you’re buying or renting, we deliver quickly throughout the Netherlands.

INDUSTRIAL BLOWERS
What is an industrial blower?
An industrial blower is a machine that moves large volumes of air or gas at low to medium pressure, typically between 0.1 and 1.5 bar gauge pressure. Unlike a compressor, which builds up high pressure to produce compressed air, a blower is optimized for maximum flow rate. This makes a blower more efficient and less expensive to operate for applications that require a lot of air but little pressure.
Industrial blowers are also referred to as Roots blowers, lobe blowers, side-channel blowers, or process blowers, depending on their operating principle. The three most commonly used types in industry are the lobe blower, the screw blower, and the turbo blower.
What are industrial blowers used for?
Industrial blowers are used in a wide range of industries: from aerating activated sludge systems in wastewater treatment and the pneumatic transport of powders and granules, to providing process air for oxidation and fermentation in the chemical industry.
In addition, industrial blowers provide ventilation in tunnels and parking garages, as well as drying and cooling products on conveyor belts; and in the event of malfunctions or maintenance, SK Compressor Service quickly provides a rental unit as a temporary replacement.
QUESTIONS ABOUT INDUSTRIAL BLOWERS
What is an industrial blower?
An industrial blower is a machine that moves large volumes of air or gas at low to medium pressures, typically between 0.1 and 1.5 bar. Blowers are used for aeration, pneumatic conveying, and process air—applications that require high volume but low pressure.
What is the difference between a blower and a compressor?
A compressor compresses air to high pressure (typically above 6 bar) for compressed air applications. A blower moves large volumes of air at low pressure, up to 1.5 bar. For applications such as aeration or pneumatic conveying, a blower is more efficient and less expensive to operate.
What is a lobe blower, and what is a Roots blower?
A lobe blower and a Roots blower are the same machine. Both names refer to a blower in which two oval-shaped rotors (lobes or Roots) rotate in opposite directions and transport air from the inlet to the outlet. It is the most commonly used blower technology for aeration and pneumatic conveying.
When should I choose a screw blower instead of a lobe blower?
Choose a screw blower if you operate continuously and energy costs are a major concern. A screw blower is up to 30% more energy-efficient than a lobe blower at pressures above 0.5 bar. For a small installation or a low-pressure range, a lobe blower is often the most cost-effective solution.
