A Comparison of Older Blowers to the New PX-Series Blowers

 

Paxton’s new PX-series blowers provide a step-change in blower efficiency, with the PX-series blowers as much as 30% more efficient than the previous generation blower. That means you’ll use 33% less energy! Paxton has completely redesigned the blower impellers and scrolls, improving aerodynamics to generate 33% more airflow per horsepower input, meaning that you’ll be able to switch to a lower horsepower blower, and achieve the same airflow.
