Airtech AKB Series Kinetic Blowers

Airtech AKB Series kinetic blowers are dynamic blowers designed for industrial applications that require controlled air movement, compact equipment sizing, and efficient blower operation.

The AKB Series uses a contactless rotating impeller design to transfer kinetic energy to the air stream, supporting applications where vacuum or pressure performance must be delivered without traditional positive displacement blower contact points.

Process Controls Corporation - Airtech AKB Series Kinetic Blowers

The AKB Series features a titanium turbo impeller, permanently greased hybrid ceramic ball bearings, and a fan-cooled permanent magnet motor.

Depending on the selected configuration, AKB blowers may be used with an external or integrated variable frequency drive for speed-controlled operation. The tangential inlet and outlet positions can also be selected based on application layout requirements, giving system designers flexibility when integrating the blower into new or existing equipment.

This Airtech blower family is positioned for facilities evaluating alternatives to traditional blower and pump technologies in applications such as wastewater treatment, pneumatic conveying, vacuum hold down, milking, printing, and 3D printing.

With oil-free compression, a compact footprint, and a non-contacting impeller design, the AKB Series is suited for industrial users looking for a kinetic blower option that supports application-specific air handling requirements while maintaining clear distinction from regenerative blowers, dry rotary vane pumps, and oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps.
