Blowers for wastewater aeration, recycling plants, cement and dry powder conveyance, glass manufacturing and pharmaceutical applications
The energy to run your air blowers can account for between 40-80% of the energy required for your entire process. For this reason, energy efficiency is a key element when it comes to choosing the correct blower for your application.
Considering the total cost of ownership is also important as dealing with repairs might end up being more expensive than getting a new blower.
Finding the right blower technology that meets the airflow and pressure needs of your application is also something you need to factor in. Our industrial aeration blowers guarantee a continuous, highly reliable, energy-efficient supply to your process for years on end, and at the lowest possible operating cost. Some of the benefits of opting for Atlas Copco air blowers are:
- Low maintenance cost.
- Very wide flow and pressure operational range.
- Low aeration blower energy cost - Representing 70% of the total operational cost.
- Low downtime - Our specialist service keeps your equipment running and protects your investment.
- Increased operational efficiency - Our maintenance expertise makes your life easier when it comes to resource management.

What's the difference between all these air blowers?
How do the air blowers compare in terms of maintenance costs?
Elektronikon®: intelligent control and monitoring
Atlas Copco blowers feature the advanced Elektronikon Mk5 onboard controller. This includes out of the box remote monitoring capability and energy savings estimates - using the integrated SmartLink.
The Elektronikon controllers can also be networked to ensure maximum efficiency, uptime and safety of your system.
The advanced control system maximises the reliability of your blower installation. It monitors overall system performance with service indications, malfunction alarms and safety shutdowns.
Are your aeration blowers suitable for my application?
Our aeration air blowers are suitable for a variety of processes in various industrial applications. This includes but is not limited to:
Industrial wastewater treatment
As most applications in wastewater treatment require a continuous airflow with a variable volume, you need a solution that can handle a continuous uptime whilst also keeping energy consumption low.
Engineered with the highest reliability and lowest energy consumption in mind, our energy-efficient units ensure your process gets the air supply it needs. What's more, we offer different service plans and ways to monitor, control and optimise your blower unit(s) to make sure your units are always in optimal running condition!
Applications in the cement industry
In a cement factory, compressed air is an integral part of the operation. Compressed air is used as an energy source to assist in the movement of materials in the cement-making process or for powering tools that can withstand the dust, moisture and high temperatures of the process, or for plant and instrument air. We offer you a comprehensive range of oil-free air blower and low-pressure compressor technologies that are suited for harsh conditions and environments, making them ideal for operation in cement plants all around the world.
No matter what application you have, we offer a wide range of aeration blowers that are tailored to your specific pressure and airflow requirements.
