ACI's EP10A compact blowers (http://aircontrolindustries.com/products-centrifugal/196/ep10a-compact-blower) are belt-driven, centrifugal fans incorporating backward curved turbine bladed impellers. Powerful and quiet, the EP10A blowers are available with motors from 5.5 through to 18.5kW in standard metric or NEMA frames and can be easily retrofitted in place of US alternatives.
The impeller shaft is manufactured as a replaceable cartridge with preloaded, factory run-in bearings, facilitating in-field servicing. A hot air version is also available, processing air inlet temperatures of 185C.
