Industrial air blowers

Industrial air blowers are designed to deliver a constant flow of air or gas at controlled pressure in processes where continuity and reliability are critical. They are commonly used in applications such

as aeration, pneumatic conveying, drying, and other production systems that operate for long hours every day.

In one sentence: an industrial blower converts energy into usable flow for your process, optimizing the balance between pressure, power consumption, and operating stability.

Pedro Gil air blower technologies

At Pedro Gil we develop and supply different blower technologies to cover a wide range of operating conditions and industrial requirements. The right choice depends on factors such as required flow, pressure, duty cycle, and the target level of energy efficiency.

RPG rotary lobe blowers

A robust and versatile solution for many industrial applications. Rotary lobe (Roots-type) blowers stand out for their reliability and their ability to maintain stable performance under demanding conditions.

Screw compressors

Oil-free screw compressors are a suitable option when stable operation is required under certain load profiles and you need a strong balance between performance and operating efficiency. In applications requiring oil-free compressed air, this technology is a complementary alternative within the pressure area.

Turbo blowers

Pedro Gil turbo blowers use technology focused on maximizing energy efficiency in specific applications, especially where electricity consumption represents the largest component of total operating cost (OPEX).

Vacuum area

In addition to air blowers, we provide industrial vacuum solutions for extraction, evacuation, and processes that require stability, performance, and continuous reliability.

Which blower technology fits your process best?

The most reliable approach is to start from your process needs (flow, pressure and duty cycle) and choose the technology that optimizes total cost (OPEX), reliability and maintenance.

How to choose an air blower

Choosing an industrial air blower is not just “picking a model”: it means sizing the real operating point so the unit delivers the required flow at the right pressure, with the best balance of consumption, noise, reliability and maintenance. Before comparing technologies, define these parameters clearly.

1) Define the operating point (flow + pressure) 

Required flow (m³/h or Nm³/h)

  • Nominal process flow and whether there are peaks or minimums. 
  • Whether demand changes by shifts, batches, seasons or process stages. 
  • Whether constant flow or regulation is needed (VSD control, valves, etc.).

Working pressure (bar / mbar): 

  • Target pressure at the point of use (not only “at the outlet of the unit”). 
  • Losses across pipes, filters, valves, silencers and process elements. 
  • Safety margin to avoid operating outside the optimal range.

A correctly selected blower keeps the process stable without being oversized or overstressed.

2) Analyze the gas and the environment 

Gas type / air quality: 

  • Humidity and presence of dust or particles. 
  • Potentially aggressive compounds (corrosion) and material requirements. 
  • Whether the process needs particularly clean air or reinforced filtration.

Installation conditions: 

  • Ambient temperature and ventilation of the technical room. 
  • Altitude (affects air density) and inlet conditions. 
  • Space available, accessibility and piping/works constraints.

3) Define the duty cycle

Operating regime: 

• Continuous 24/7, shift-based operation, frequent start/stop cycles. 

• Variable load or long periods at a single operating point. 

• Control and automation requirements (integration into the plant).

Plant priorities: 

  • Reduce consumption (OPEX), improve process stability, or lower noise. 
  • Maximize reliability and availability (minimize downtime). 
  • Optimize total cost (CAPEX + OPEX + maintenance).

4) Plan maintenance and support 

Maintenance and support: 

  • Available shutdown windows (when you can stop and for how long). 
  • Criticality of the unit within the process (is it a bottleneck?). 
  • Need for spare parts, service kits and technical support.

A strong preventive approach reduces unplanned stops and extends system life.

Quick checklist 

If you share these data, we can recommend the most suitable configuration: 

  • Nominal flow + peaks/minimums 
  • Required pressure at the point of use 
  • Gas/conditions (humidity, dust, corrosion) 
  • Operating hours and load variability 
  • Installation conditions (temperature, ventilation, altitude) 
  • Priority: efficiency / noise / reliability / total cost 
  • Maintenance/support needs (shutdown windows, spares)
