This range of blowers centrifugal air, is the latest addition to the manufacturer, is free of oil and has variable speed drive. The technology of bearing "air foil" that guarantees energy efficiency is located in the heart of the new range ZB. The ZB range supplied air without oil according to the standard ISO 8573-1 and eliminates any risk of contamination by oil from the aeration system. "Air foil" bearings allow a flotation without friction of high speed rotor. The maximum volume of air with less energy consumption combined with the drive of variable speed (VSD) technology, is guaranteed.
Normally, the system of a biological sewage treatment plant aeration represents 70% of the total consumption of energy.
