Overview: The EP10A Compact Blowers by Air Control Industries (ACI) are powerful and robust devices featuring a backward curved turbine bladed impeller. They are available with motors ranging from 5.5 to 18.5kW, suitable for both standard metric and NEMA frames, and can be easily retrofitted to replace other belt-driven alternatives. The compact design makes them ideal for integration into customer equipment.

Hot Air Version: A hot air version, the EP10AH, is available, capable of processing air inlet temperatures up to 185°C (330°F) without the need for costly water cooling, offering significant savings in installation and running costs.

Key Performance Figures:

• Flow rates up to 2040m³/hr (1200cfm)
• Pressures up to 250mBar (100In.Swg)
• Motor power from 5.5kW (7.4HP) to 18.5kW (25HP)
• Reliable, maintenance-free operation

Design and Reliability: The EP10A features a unique design with a blower head cast and machined as a single piece. Bearings are evenly spaced to provide balanced loading from the belt drive, allowing for lower running tensions and reduced assembly loads. Each unit undergoes a rigorous running-in test with monitored bearing temperatures. The product comes with an 18-month warranty and does not require an expensive Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).

Typical Applications:

• Air Knife systems
• Gas boosting
• Air sampling
• Pneumatic conveying
• Heated process air
• Clean rooms
• Vacuum systems

Performance Curves: The document includes performance curves for 240V 1Ph 50Hz, indicating a wide variety of performances achievable by varying the blower speed.
