Is your current blower system causing unnecessary downtime for your business? Are maintenance costs and blower repairs costing you too much money? Are you using or considering a direct drive blower? If so, Paxton's high efficiency PX-series centrifugal blower systems can help.
The biggest differentiator between Paxton's high efficiency PX-series centrifugal blowers and today's direct drive blowers is the motor speed. Paxton's ultra-efficient design utilizes a set of pulleys, all varying in size, to connect the blower head and the motor via a belt-driven system. This allows the motor to operate at lower speeds while simultaneously causing the blower head to spin 5-6 times faster. Direct drive blowers connect the blower head directly to a high-speed motor spinning at approximately 16,000 RPM. This high-speed motor ultimately creates unwanted heat that can result in premature motor bearing failures - costing your business time and money in the long run.
By design, Paxton's PX-series centrifugal blowers address the unwanted issues that can arise from using a direct drive blower while also, in many circumstances, producing superior flows and pressures. So, why choose a Paxton PX-series blower over today's direct drive option? We've put together a list of the top five reasons to go with Paxton's PX-series blowers:
-
Produces Less Heat - While direct drive blowers use a high-speed motor that spins at roughly 16,000 RPM, Paxton's PX-series blowers utilize a high efficiency motor spinning at about 3,500 RPM to generate blower speeds up to 18,000 RPM. Because the motor utilizes pulleys and belts, less heat is generated from the motor overall - eliminating the potential for premature bearing failures and reducing energy usage and overall costs.
-
Longevity - Paxton's PX-series blowers are configured and built to provide the exact amount of flow and pressure required by the air delivery devices it's paired with. This leads to an increase in longevity, no back pressure or unwanted heat, and the minimum amount of energy is required for operation. However, direct drive blowers are limited to the size of the motors. This means that in most cases, the blower is much larger than needed and a VFD is required to trial and error the pressure and flow.
-
Field Serviceable - If your direct drive blower head and/or motor fail prematurely, the entire system would need to be removed and sent off to be repaired, and a replacement blower would need to take its place temporarily. This leads to an increase in downtime and could even put a halt to production. But with Paxton's PX-series blowers, they can be easily serviced in-house by simply replacing the damaged part (blower head, belt, etc.) on site.
-
Longer Service Life - Paxton's PX-series centrifugal blowers are designed under normal manufacturing settings and maintenance schedules to operate trouble-free for up to 24,000 hours. Intrinsic to the direct drive blowers design, you can expect to repair or replace bearings in less than one production year (or 6,000 hours). This ultimately leads to an increase in downtime and even a loss of production because of the time it takes to remove and replace the damaged system.
-
Three-Year Warranty - Most direct drive blowers on the market only come with a one-year warranty. With Paxton's PX-series blowers, you receive a full, unmatched three-year warranty.
