What Are Positive Displacement Blowers?

A positive displacement blower, also known as PD blower or rotary air blower, operates by trapping a specific volume of air or gas in a chamber and then displacing it by using rotating elements such as lobes or screws. Positive displacement blowers are designed for applications that require consistent and reliable airflow at varying pressures. 

Positive displacement blowers are designed for high-efficiency, they often feature low energy consumption and reduced operational costs. Constructed with robust materials, PD blowers are an ideal solution for demanding industrial environments such as Wastewater Treatment. 

The HOFFMAN DEFENDER series of positive displacement Lobe and Screw blower packages means reliability, extreme sturdiness, and compactness. In a competitive global market, our long history of supplying blower solutions to suit our customers' unique requirements sets us apart from the rest. Using modern machining systems and state-of-the-art production processes, our product range is constantly evolving.

HOFFMAN DEFENDER™ Screw Blower

Rotary screw positive displacement blowers are uniquely designed. The specialized capabilities of the new screw units create exciting economic opportunities, and various applications around the world are confirming very impressive results.

Screw blowers are volumetric. This means it simply moves the air. It is not a kinetic-energy or dynamic machine, so it does not have to convert different types of energies. A plant’s variable working pressure is easy to handle with volumetric screw technology.
