For over 30 years pdblowers has helped engineer pressure and vacuum systems for concrete production.
- Sizing blowers and vacuum pumps to fit application specs
- Building blower packages to convey initial materials, combustion air, and cement
- Designing and programming control systems for material conveying
- Supplying blowers, vacuum pumps, and filtration equipment
Pressure and Vacuum Packages
Vacuum pumps and blowers are used throughout the concrete production process, from the initial cement manufacturing through the batching of the final product. During the cement manufacturing process, packages move ingredients in and of the kiln and move combustion air in the firing process. At the concrete batching plant, blower packages use air to convey cement and other light aggregates and materials in and out of railcars, trucks and bulk containers as they move through the production process.
Working with your flow and pressure measurements, our engineers can size a package to meet the specific challenges of your system.
Process Control Systems
We also work with customers to help manage their processes and integrate with existing equipment. With a process and instrumentation diagram (P&ID), we can build an electrical panel to handle power and control needs. We can provide contact closure interfaces, timers, and meters and level indicators. Our engineers can build a basic interface or a PLC (programmable logic controller) and HMI (human machine interface) technology. Learn more about our UL-certified control panel shop.
Concrete Batching Equipment & Parts
As the largest distributor of Roots blowers in North America, pdblowers maintains a large inventory of blowers, vacuum pumps, filters and other equipment in stock and ready to ship. With five locations around the country, we can get a blower to you quickly, reducing downtime and lost profits when equipment is needed urgently.
