Can an rbt double stage side channel blower be used for vacuum applications?
Hey there! As a supplier of RBT double stage side channel blowers, I often get asked if these blowers can be used for vacuum applications. Well, let's dig into this topic and find out.
First off, let's understand what an RBT double stage side channel blower is. These blowers are designed with a unique double - stage configuration. The double - stage setup means that the air or gas goes through two consecutive compression stages. This results in higher pressure and vacuum capabilities compared to single - stage blowers.
How Do RBT Double Stage Side Channel Blowers Work?
The basic principle behind these blowers is pretty interesting. The impeller, which is like a spinning wheel with blades, rotates at high speed inside the blower housing. As it spins, it draws in air or gas through the inlet. The air then enters the side channels on the blower. The shape of these side channels and the movement of the impeller create a series of vortices. These vortices increase the pressure of the air or gas as it moves through the first stage. Then, the partially compressed air moves on to the second stage, where the process is repeated, further increasing the pressure or creating a deeper vacuum.
Can They Be Used for Vacuum Applications?
The short answer is yes! RBT double stage side channel blowers can definitely be used for vacuum applications. Their double - stage design allows them to generate relatively high vacuum levels. For many industrial and commercial vacuum needs, these blowers are more than up to the task.


In vacuum applications, the blower works in reverse compared to a pressure - generating mode. Instead of pushing air out at high pressure, it pulls air in, creating a vacuum. The impeller still spins at high speed, but this time, it sucks air from the connected system, reducing the pressure inside the system and creating a vacuum effect.
Advantages of Using RBT Double Stage Side Channel Blowers for Vacuum Applications
- High Vacuum Capability: As mentioned earlier, the double - stage design enables these blowers to achieve higher vacuum levels than single - stage blowers. This makes them suitable for applications that require a strong vacuum, such as in some manufacturing processes where materials need to be held in place using vacuum suction.
- Reliability: These blowers are built to last. They are made with high - quality materials and precision engineering. This means they can operate continuously for long periods without frequent breakdowns, which is crucial in industrial settings where downtime can be costly.
- Low Maintenance: Unlike some other types of vacuum pumps, RBT double stage side channel blowers generally require less maintenance. There are no complex oil - lubricated systems or multiple moving parts that need frequent servicing. This not only saves time but also reduces the overall cost of ownership.
Applications of RBT Double Stage Side Channel Blowers in Vacuum
- Printing Industry: In printing, vacuum is used to hold the paper in place during the printing process. RBT double stage side channel blowers can provide a stable and strong vacuum, ensuring that the paper stays flat and in the right position, resulting in high - quality prints.
- Packaging Industry: When packaging products, vacuum is often used to seal bags or to hold products in place during the packaging process. These blowers can quickly create and maintain the necessary vacuum, increasing the efficiency of the packaging line.
- Woodworking Industry: In woodworking, vacuum is used to hold the wood pieces in place during cutting, sanding, or routing operations. The high - vacuum capability of RBT double stage side channel blowers ensures that the wood stays firmly in place, reducing the risk of errors and improving the quality of the finished product.
Some Considerations When Using for Vacuum Applications
- System Compatibility: Before using an RBT double stage side channel blower for a vacuum application, it's important to make sure that the blower is compatible with the entire vacuum system. This includes checking the size of the pipes, the type of filters, and the overall layout of the system.
- Air Quality: The quality of the air being drawn into the blower can affect its performance and lifespan. If the air contains a lot of dust or debris, it can clog the blower and reduce its efficiency. So, proper filtration systems should be in place.
