The Roots rotary blower AF Series are now obsolete, replaced by the Universal RAI series.
The AF Series were standard duty units suitable for either pressure or vacuum service. The basic model is suitable for rotation in either direction consisted of a grey iron casing, alloy steel gears, grey iron impellers and anti-friction ball bearings. The unit has splash oil lubrication on the gear end and grease lubrication on the drive end.
By today’s standards, these units were operated very slow and were limited in maximum allowable pressure and vacuum.
Features that make the Roots rotary blower AF Series distinctive over the current Universal RAI are as follows:
In general, you can determine the flow of the units below by multiplying the cfr by the RPM you are currently running then by 0.75. This will actually give you a close estimate when compared to the actual flow which takes into account slip inside the unit.
