Rotary Positive Blowers Designed with features found ordinarily on high-end blowers, COMPETITOR SL blowers are still designed to be interchangeable, with respect to foot print, shaft height and diameter, with equivalent sizes of Roots Universal RAI/RAI-J®, and many Sutorbilt® California Series Legend® Series L and P, as well as M-D Pneumatics COMPETITOR PLUS™ blowers. Features Splash Oil Lubrication at Both Ends COMPETITOR SL blowers include splash oil lubrication at both the gear end and drive end of the blower. Splash lubrication provides for longer bearing and seal life through improved heat dissipation versus grease lubrication. Revolutionary Noise Reduction Technology Many sizes of COMPETITOR SL blowers are available with Tuthill’s unique noise reduction technology with trilobe rotors specially designed for maximum displacement and special porting on the discharge side to significantly reduce noise. Helical Gearing COMPETITOR SL blowers are timed with precision helical gears, keyed to the rotor shafts, not taper fit spur gears offered by other manufacturers which have greater backlash, and can slip and lose timing. Helical gears are also quieter, further reducing mechanical noise. Stronger Bearings All COMPETITOR SL blowers include double-row ball bearings at the gear end, stronger than single row ball bearings offered by other manufacturers. Drive shaft bearing is cylindrical roller type for additional strength against side loading from V-belt drives. As a result of this superior design, COMPETITOR SL blowers offer significantly longer bearing life than models offered by other manufacturers. Material Specifications: Housing: Cast iron End Plates: Cast iron End Covers: Cast iron Rotors: Ductile iron Shafts: Ductile iron cast integrally with rotors Bearings: Gear end - Double row ball, both rotors Drive end - Cylindrical roller on drive rotor Single row ball on driven rotor Drive Shaft: Ductile iron, cast integrally with drive rotor Gears: Heat treated alloy steel, helical cut Seals: Lip seals on rotor shafts and drive shaft Lubrication: Oil splash on both ends Model Size Rotors with Integral Shafts COMPETITOR SL blowers include precision machined ductile iron rotors with large, integrally cast shafts, not press fit and/or pinned shafts offered by other manufacturers, which can loosen over time and cause rotor clash. Versatility COMPETITOR SL blowers can be field converted from horizontal to vertical flow, or vice versa, without any special tools or additional components. Metric Availability All COMPETITOR SL blowers are available with metric drive shaft and process connections. *Approximate shipping weight. All Competitor SL blowers are factory tested to meet ISO 9001 registered quality standards. Rotors are dynamically balanced to meet ISO1940 Grade 6.3 specifications.
