OverviewHOFFMAN's REVOLUTIONPLUS high‑speed turbo blowers deliver compact, energy‑efficient single‑stage centrifugal compression for industrial processes. Units are factory pre‑wired and tested inside a sound‑insulated enclosure for straightforward plug‑and‑play deployment. The series combines a high‑speed PMSM motor with Class III anodized aluminum impellers and a patented multi‑foil air bearing with Teflon coating to extend service life and reduce maintenance needs.
Design and OperationThe compression airend incorporates a blow‑off valve to protect the air end during start/stop cycles. Motor speed is regulated by a Variable Speed Drive (VSD). A built‑in PLC provides monitoring, control and speed adjustment to match process demand. Actual performance depends on flow/pressure combinations, site conditions and specific applications.
Key Features and Benefits- Dual impeller / twin motor arrangement for 400–700 HP models.
- Water‑jacket motor cooling for units in the 400–700 HP range.
- High‑performance Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) for improved efficiency.
- Variable Speed Drive (VSD) standard to adapt blower speed to process/oxygen demand.
- Patented multi‑foil air bearing with Teflon coating for improved damping and stability (~30% better vs single‑foil designs).
- Impellers manufactured from Class III anodized aluminum.
- No belts, gears or oil required — simplified maintenance.
- Compact footprint with sound‑insulated enclosure and leveling feet; no special foundations required.
- Factory pre‑wired and tested for plug‑and‑play installation.
- Access panels and gasketed air‑end/electronics enclosures for protection against dirt and debris.
- Low‑noise design; sound level rating <85 dBA.
- Energy savings up to 40% and reduced carbon footprint compared with conventional solutions.
- Controller‑independent operation possible up to 100 ft (installation‑dependent).
ApplicationsPackaged and optimized for wastewater treatment and general industrial applications requiring efficient single‑stage centrifugal blower performance and advanced energy management.
