Our network offers us access to a wide range of products, including Vacuum Pumps and Compressors. The Elmo Rietschle Side Channel Blowers operating principle is to be suitable for both vacuum and pressure applications.
Side Channel Blowers operate by sucking air/gas into the machine through the inlet channel. The rotation of the impellers gives momentum to the air/gas in the direction of rotation. Centrifugal force in the impeller blades accelerates the air/gas outwards, increasing its pressure. Kinetic energy is displaced with every rotation of the impellers. The Pump narrows at the rotor, sweeping air off the impeller blades and expelling it through the outlet silencer where it exits the blower.
Side channel blowers (sometimes called vacuum pumps or regenerative blowers) are air delivery systems that produce relatively high airflow (when compared to compressed air) and much higher pressure capabilities than traditional centrifugal-type blowers.
This makes them the ideal choice for smaller air knife applications, product conveying, vacuum holding, and aeration of spa pools to name but a few examples.
Specially designed Three-dimensional blower blades enable the air between blades to accelerate along the blade and diameter directions due to rotations. The air is forced to return back to the bottoms of the blades due to pressure difference when entering the blower paths and then accelerates again. This kind of air running movement repeats again and again (the regenerative effect) to result in compression and pressure intensification due to the spiral movement of the air in the blower paths. When the air moves toward the outlet, it will be forced to expel.
Air Energy also offer accessories and aftermarket parts to maintain the SCB pumps. We recommend relief valves are purchased when buying SCBs; they help prevent excess back pressure. We can offer impeller blades, filters and other parts for the various pressures and vacuum. For further part and accessory information, please contact our sales team; we are can advise on your selection.
Elmo Rietschle side channel blowers are ideal for point-of-use applications and offer contact-less operation. They cover many demanding applications; Woodworking, Medical & Dental Care, Electronics, Packaging, Food & Beverage, Legionella Testing Companies, Environmental and Aquatic. There are multiple other sectors they can be used for and this is only a small sample of their capabilities.

Side Channel Blowers are used in Woodworking for different processes; vacuum holds down on CNC machines and dust collecting for safe disposal. Hold down is important for safe processing; the material is held in place while routers cut out shapes with efficiency and accuracy. In-line filters are installed within the pump to protect its integrity when used for dust-collecting processes and those similar.
Side Channel Blowers are a great piece of equipment for the Aeration of H2O in Aquatics including l8 risk assessment companies. Oxygen levels can be greatly increased, substantial oxygen is essential to maintaining the health of aquatic life.
Health in Aquatics also offers benefits to the Food industry. For example, sufficient oxygen levels within a pond/ tank can increase the number of fish it can accommodate; this can greatly benefit the Fish and Prawn supply industry. Adequate aeration also allows the fish to grow and multiply more rapidly which in turn significantly increases business assets.
The Medical sector utilises SCB Pumps for both of their potential features. Air beds offer comfort for bed-ridden patients. A Blower can be used to assist with the inflation of the beds to help prevent discomfort or bedsores. The change to the air within them can also help position patients suitably and comfortably to receive treatment and care.
Many industries reap the benefits of Side Channel Blowers in Packaging. Vac-packed items use less space for transport and storage. The suction of air from Packaging ensures a smaller surface area is used by items when Packing. Less space being required means maximum capacity is used when transporting goods; this ensures packaging is done in the most cost-effective way possible.
This Technology is crucial for many industries and Side Channel Blowers are an incredible piece of machinery to utilise either as a low-maintenance compressor or a three-phase vacuum blower.
