PRESSURIZATION & PURGING
- Air Cleaning Blowers™ (ACBs) offer a maintenance-free solution for pressurizing and purging enclosures in industrial and hazardous environments. Unlike traditional systems that rely on filter media, ACBs utilize a patented impeller design to remove airborne particles without clogging, ensuring consistent airflow and reduced maintenance costs.
Why Pressurization Matters — and How ACBs Simplify It
Maintaining positive pressure inside enclosures is essential for preventing the intrusion of airborne contaminants like dust, sand, and hazardous gases through gaps, doors, or vents.
- This is especially critical in industrial, military, agricultural, and hazardous-location environments.
- However, sourcing clean enough air for pressurization is often expensive and difficult.
- Traditional systems use media filters or complex filtration assemblies, which require ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and costly filter replacements.
- These recurring expenses can deter users from pressurizing altogether—some even choose to clean or replace equipment more frequently rather than deal with filter upkeep.
The ACB Advantage
Air Cleaning Blowers™ (ACBs) offer a smarter alternative. Our patented design cleans pressurizing air without filter media, eliminating clogs, minimizing maintenance, and reducing total cost of ownership. With ACBs, you get continuous clean airflow and consistent performance—ideal for pressurization and purging applications.
- No filter cartridges to replace
- Reliable operation in dusty, corrosive, and hazardous environments
- Lower maintenance costs and better protection for your equipment

Key Benefits
High-Efficiency Air Cleaning: Independently tested to remove over 98% of airborne dust and particles, including virtually all particles larger than 10 microns and about 40% of particles down to 3 microns.
Maintenance-Free Operation: Eliminates the need for filter replacements, reducing downtime and operational costs.
Consistent Performance: Provides steady airflow, pressure, and energy consumption, simplifying system design and operation.
Versatile Applications: Suitable for use in environments with hazardous dusts and gases, including Division/Zone 1 or Division/Zone 2 areas, making them ideal for control rooms, petrochemical plants, munitions storage, and grain elevators.
How ACBs Work
- ACBs draw in contaminated air and use specially designed impellers to separate and eject particles back into the environment, delivering clean air without the need for filter media. This process ensures continuous operation without the common issues associated with traditional filters, such as clogging and increased energy consumption.
