Hibon
The VTB.XL series of air-injected, positive displacement blowers from Hibon, a division of Ingersoll Rand, provide 900 to 7,000 cfm with maximum vacuum greater than 28 inches Hg, achieved via an air injection system that allows cooling air to enter the blower at the exhaust. Cool air reduces the rate of thermal expansion of the lobes at higher vacuum to control the clearances between the lobes and housing. Location of the cooling air near the exhaust of the blower ensures the air will exit through the exhaust and not escape into the inlet. The design eliminates water cooling, heat exchangers, oil consumption and effluent. Other features include improved sealing and oil capacity for increased performance and lower maintenance. 888/704-4266; www.hibon.com
