The HOFFMAN DEFENDER™ Series features positive displacement rotary lobe blowers that are ideal for applications like municipal wastewater treatment. Our lobe blowers offer flexible configurations and enhanced technical features as an integrated package and are designed to convey gas at low pressure. This package is operated by an electric motor through a belt drive and includes all accessories.
The HOFFMAN DEFENDER™ rotary lobe package 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.
The HOFFMAN DEFENDER™ Series features rotary lobe blower packages with capacity of up to 6,121 cfm to meet the various needs of our customers and their range of municipal wastewater applications. This is an excellent solution for the oil-free conveyance of air and neutral gases. It is equipped with a low-pulse system that reduces the residual pressure pulsation of the conveyed gas. Lobe blowers in the DEFENDER™ Series offer innovative components and design.
Efficient - Thanks to patented rotors, which reduce the number of revolutions and enhance the capacity-pressure ratio.
Quiet Operation - As a result of high-efficiency internal compression, silencers, and a noise-reducing enclosure.
Simple - Installation and configuration.
Flexible - To ensure operation at the point of best efficiency.
Ease of Maintenance - with simple and robust construction.
With flexible configurations and enhanced technical features, our rotary lobe blower package is the perfect solution for a broad range of environmental applications. System components include:
