Swam Industrial Roots Blowers (Twin | Tri Lobe) — Sales, Service & Spares — Chennai, Tamil Nadu

SWAM Twin-Lobe & Tri-Lobe Roots Air Blowers — Product Description

SWAM Roots blowers are rugged positive-displacement lobe blowers designed for continuous industrial duty. Built for reliability and simple maintenance, they deliver a high volume of air at low to moderate pressures for processes across wastewater, pneumatic conveying, aeration, combustion air and many other industrial applications in Chennai and Tamil Nadu.

Twin-Lobe (Bi-Lobe): Classic two-lobe rotor design — simple, robust and economical for general blow-off, ventilation, and low-pulsation applications.
Tri-Lobe: Three-lobe rotor design that produces smoother airflow with lower pressure pulsation and reduced noise — preferred for pressure-duty, precise aeration and energy-sensitive installations.

Key benefits

High volumetric flow for a small footprint.
Low maintenance — few wearing parts and easy access for service.
Tri-lobe models: reduced pulsation, lower noise and better volumetric efficiency vs twin-lobe.
Wide range of customization: inlet/outlet options, silencers, filters, and coupling arrangements.

Typical technical ranges (typical industry figures — select exact model per site conditions)

Flow (free air): from a few m³/hr up to tens of thousands m³/hr depending on frame size.
Pressure/Boost: up to ~1.0–2.5 bar (g) for standard blowers; many industrial Roots blowers are used up to ~15–35 psig in specialized designs. Actual allowable pressure depends on model.
Speed: commonly 600–3000 rpm (varies by gearbox and driver).
Drive: electric motor (direct or V-belt), gearboxes available for speed/torque matching.
(Note: always size by required airflow at system back-pressure — we can help calculate.)

Typical applications (Chennai / Tamil Nadu industries)

Wastewater treatment / Aeration — fine-/coarse-bubble aeration in STPs and ETPs.
Pneumatic conveying — cement, sugar, rice mills and food processing lines.
Combustion/boiler air supply — controlled forced-draft applications.
Vacuum & low-pressure systems — baghouse blowers, material handling.
Aquaculture / Fish farms — aeration systems for ponds and hatcheries.
Chemical, Pharma & Food processing — vacuum conveying, drying air, packaging lines.
Dust control & pneumatic cleaning — cyclones and dust extraction systems.

How to choose Twin-Lobe vs Tri-Lobe

Choose Twin-Lobe when cost, simplicity and proven reliability are priorities for low-pressure, less noise-sensitive duties.
Choose Tri-Lobe when you need smoother flow, lower pulsation/noise and better volumetric efficiency at moderate pressures — common in pressure-duty or energy-sensitive operations.

Service & maintenance (what you should offer / expect)

Regular checks: oil level & quality (gearbox), bearing condition, coupling alignment, belt tension (if belt drive), inlet filter cleanliness.
Maintenance schedule (typical): daily checks of gauges & noise; monthly visual checks; oil & bearing checks every 3–6 months depending on duty; major overhaul at manufacturer-recommended hours.
Common problems & quick fixes: abnormal noise → check bearings/timing gears; temperature rise → check cooling/ventilation and oil; decreased flow → inspect filters and check system back-pressure.

Installation & safety tips

Ensure proper foundation and anti-vibration mounts.
Provide adequate inlet screening and dust filtration to avoid rotor damage.
Fit silencers and pulsation dampers where noise or pulsation affects processes.
Install pressure relief and back-pressure protection as required.
Follow lockout/tagout for all maintenance.
