Gugliotta & Co announces the introduction of Turbotron
The Turbotron is the ultimate blower for Air, Natural Gas, Biological Gas, as well as other gasses including corrosive ones.
And is ATEX certified when required.
The Turbotron is a machine with a peripheral toroidal channel, similar to side channel blowers, but with a revolutionary heliflow impeller and channel developed through long research and tests. With this impeller and channel design, performances similar to positive displacement machines like Roots blowers, can be achieved, with none of the associated problems and, indeed, with some added advantages such as quite operation, free of pulsations and vibration, 100 oil free, and low maintenance (cleaning of inlet filter and occasional greasing of the bearings only).
This technique allows a pressure rise of up to 850mbarG, and for the actual range, volume flow of up to 2000m^3/h.
Eventual bearing replacement can be carried out without disassembling the machine casing.
In the Turbotron design, the aspirated gas is forced along two peripheral channels in parallel, or, by modifying the inlet and outlet porting, one of the channels can be excluded, thus obtaining a machine with half the flow rate at the same outlet pressure.
Because of the wide range of permissible operating speeds of rotation (from 2000 to 5500 RPM), a very large operating range can be achieved using a single machine size. The casing and impeller are made from aluminium alloy and the shaft from alloy steel.
By using different types of shaft sealing, most industrial gases as well as natural and biological gases can be handled. In the case of corrosive gases, the internal wetted parts can be treated or lined with protective coatings.
To suit all applications, a complete range of accessories is available, such as filters, silencers, flexible hoses, non return valves, pressure and vacuum relief valves, manual and automatic cut-off valves, pressure gauges, thermometers, vacuum gauges, temperature switches, pressure switches and acoustic enclosures.
