Product Details
Wastewater treatment plants and biogas facilities sit at the intersection of two conflicting requirements: the biological process demands abundant aeration to keep microorganisms thriving, while the methane and hydrogen sulfide gases generated are highly flammable and demand explosion-proof equipment. The Industrial Ex Proof Blower for Aeration is engineered to satisfy both - delivering continuous, oil-free oxygen transfer airflow while operating safely in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Across the XGB-B product line, airflow volumes from 80 to 500 cubic meters per hour drive aeration diffuser networks in facilities ranging from small community digesters to municipal treatment plants. The dual-stage impeller design provides the pressure head needed to push air through submerged diffuser stones and porous hose networks against the hydrostatic back-pressure of several meters of water column.
The oil-free regenerative principle is critical for aeration applications. Any trace of lubricant introduced into an aeration basin creates a surface film that blocks oxygen transfer at the air-water interface, reducing treatment efficiency and potentially violating discharge permits. The XGB-B's sealed bearing housing with oil seal keeps all lubrication isolated from the working air path, ensuring clean oxygen delivery for months of continuous operation.
Hazardous-area certification covers the common gases found around anaerobic digestion and wastewater treatment: methane (CH4), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and volatile organic compounds released during sludge processing. The motor housing and junction box are constructed to contain any internal ignition source, while the aluminum alloy pump body eliminates spark risk from mechanical impact.
The industrial ex proof blower for aeration is specified for: municipal wastewater aeration basins, industrial effluent treatment plants, biogas digester mixing and agitation, anaerobic lagoon surface aeration, sludge holding tank ventilation, landfill gas extraction, and aquaculture pond banks with potential methane pockets from organic sediment decomposition.
Technical envelope: 0.37–5.5 kW, three-phase 200–480V dual voltage, 50Hz or 60Hz, 120–320 mbar discharge, -120 to -300 mbar suction, 53–80 dB, 24.5–99 kg net weight depending on model. In-house copper motor winding, aluminum alloy casting, dual impeller, integrated silencer, shock-proof base. Individual QC certification on every unit from a 2,550 m² Zhejiang factory producing over 8,000 blowers daily.

Introduction to application scenarios
The "blowing" side of the explosion-proof vortex air pump is utilized in a wide array of specialized industrial tasks. One of its most distinctive uses is in "gas heavy oil spray" burners, where it provides the necessary high wind pressure (reaching 2000mmAq or more) and air volume to ensure complete fuel combustion. This high pressure is also applied to "paper cutter air cushions," where it creates a thin film of air that allows heavy stacks of paper to be moved with minimal friction, protecting the paper surface from damage.
In the cleaning and drying sector, the blower is the heart of "car wash dry" and "bottle drying" systems. By directing a powerful stream of air through air knives, it rapidly shears off water droplets from vehicle bodies or empty beverage containers, leaving surfaces bone-dry and ready for the next stage of processing. The pump is also essential for "incinerators," where it supplies the oxygen needed for efficient combustion and safely vents the resulting exhaust gases. With its high-precision rotor and pure copper coils, the blower provides a stable and powerful air output that can be customized for anything from delicate "printing forced drying" to heavy-duty industrial combustion air supply.

Factory introduction







FAQ
1. Q: How do I choose between a single-stage and double-stage blower?
A: If your application requires higher pressure or deeper vacuum (up to 340 mbar), the double-stage XGB-B is the better choice.
2. Q: Does a higher kW motor always mean more airflow?
A: Not necessarily. kW relates to the pressure capability; airflow (m3/h) depends on the impeller design and rotational speed.
3. Q: Is the 60Hz performance higher than the 50Hz rating?
A: Yes, running at 60Hz typically increases airflow and pressure by approximately 15-20% due to the higher RPM.
4. Q: Can these blowers be speed-controlled via a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive)?
A: Many of our motors are VFD-compatible; however, please verify the cooling requirements at lower speeds with our technicians.
5. Q: What is the maximum altitude for reliable operation?
A: Standard performance is rated at sea level; high-altitude use may require de-rating or a larger motor due to thinner air.
6. Q: Are there different models for gas versus dust protection?
A: Our explosion-proof series is designed to handle both, provided the zone classification matches our motor's certification.
7. Q: Do you offer larger sizes than the 15kW model?
A: We manufacture units up to 27kW; please contact us for the full XGB series parameter table.
8. Q: How does noise scale with motor power?
A: Generally, larger motors generate more noise (up to 82dB for 15kW), but our silencers keep it significantly lower than the industry average.
9. Q: Is there a significant weight difference between models?
A: Yes, the range spans from 24.5kg for the 0.37kW model to over 200kg for the highest-capacity industrial units.
10. Q: Can I get a model with a smaller port diameter?
A: Port sizes are optimized for the airflow volume; reducing them may cause excessive back-pressure and motor overheating.
