Industrial and Aeration Blowers

Explore our range of industrial and aeration blower technologies, suitable for a wide range of applications.

What Are Industrial and Aeration Blower Technologies? Blowers and low-pressure compressors are specifically engineered for applications that require a pressure between 0.3 and 4 bar(g). Enormous energy gains can be made by choosing the right type and size of compressor for your applications. That's why we've introduced seven blower and low-pressure technologies into the market, each of them engineered to precisely match the exact pressure and flow requirements of your application.

The Low-Pressure Line Up. The capabilities of Atlas Copco extend way beyond the compressor room. We take our industry-leading, patented technology and diffuse this innovation to products where it can real make a difference. We summarize the overall benefit of our blower range with the acronym T.C.O., which stands for Technology, Choice, and Options. 

From the technology side, with 24x7 remote monitoring, advanced touch screen controllers and centralized control systems, we can guarantee that you will be in full control of your process. Regarding choice, we have seven low-pressure blower technologies available and we fit the absolute best technology to you – no favoritism involved. And with options, you'll always get to configure a product when it comes to our blower range, as well as its options that will ensure it’s the perfect fit for your needs.

Common Applications Using Blowers. Low-pressure technologies are used in a wide variety of applications and processes, including Wastewater TreatmentCement ManufacturingFood and BeverageMining, and Pneumatic Conveying and Bulk Handling.

Aeration Blower Selection

Aeration Blowers VLOG: Engineered to Excel

Episode 1: Meet NEOS.
What's different inside and outside of the 'box' which makes Atlas Copco's aeration and industrial blowers the right choice for your business? We're glad you asked! To explain some of the key differences we asked one of our experts to take 60 seconds to explain some of the key features and technologies.

Episode 2: Meet the Optimizer
The Optimizer 4.0 compliments the already efficient Atlas Copco compressors and blowers. Multiple units installation run with optimum pressure or flow band while prioritizing machines that will have more efficient combinations. Time to learn more about this central controller!

Episode 3: The Cool Canopy
A cool canopy is an enclosure designed to protect your rotating equipment from heat! Our rotary lobe blowers use forced air cooling to safely operate in environments up to 120°F. On blowers with integrated VFD controls, a separate, filtered cooling air intake allows you to maintain control of your process.

Low-Pressure Technologies in Focus

There are quite a few types of blower technologies available for businesses to choose from, and selecting the specific technology that best aligns with your process can be a bit tricky. Time to learn about the in's and out's of the types of blower technologies!
