Aerzen GMA 11.4 Blower

• Pneumatic conveying of dry bulk materials such as flour, sugar, or grains within food processing plants.
• Aeration in wastewater treatment processes for food industry effluent.
• Vacuum packaging and de-aeration processes to extend product shelf life.
• Agitation and mixing of liquids in tanks and vats.
• Drying processes where air knives or air curtains are employed.

Typical flow rate

For this class of equipment, flow rates commonly range from approximately 10 to 30 m³/min, depending on the specific configuration and operating pressure.

Typical pressure range

Units of this type typically operate within a pressure differential range of 200 to 1000 mbar (0.2 to 1.0 bar).

Power supply

Blower units are commonly powered by three-phase electricity, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor sizes varying based on performance requirements.

Footprint

The overall footprint for a complete blower package, including ancillaries, can vary but typically requires a space of around 1.5m x 1m x 1.5m (LWH).

Noise level

Without an acoustic enclosure, blowers of this size can generate noise levels typically in the range of 80-95 dB(A). Enclosures significantly reduce this.

Ancillary equipment

A complete package commonly includes an intake filter, silencer, non-return valve, pressure relief valve, and a drive motor.

• What is the typical lifespan of an Aerzen GMA 11.4 blower?

  With proper maintenance and regular servicing, these industrial blowers are designed for long operational lives, often exceeding 15-20 years.

• What kind of maintenance does this blower require?

• Can this blower be used for vacuum applications?

• Is this unit suitable for food contact applications?

• What are the common causes of failure for blowers of this type?

Food processing pumps are valued for reliability and durability in continuous operations. Buyers typically prioritise corrosion resistance, hygiene compliance, and consistent flow rates. When purchasing used units, inspecting seals, impellers and motor condition proves essential. Industry sentiment favours models with straightforward maintenance requirements and availability of spare parts. Stainless steel construction and gentle handling capabilities for delicate products are consistently sought features.
