HI Guys Another search under 'lateral channel blower' should throw up more
blowers.I use an Italian make FPZ or Effperzito?.They have many industrial
applications and also in water treatment.For high volume ,low pressure air
supply,they cant be beaten.BUT and yes that is a big BUT,for the price of
your blower you could properly buy a complete unit from Bob and have all the
testing done for you.It seems that there is a big difference in the
efficiencies at which diffuser and airlift type aeration devices
operate.Airlift devices need much smaller air supplies.And as you are
finding out the air is the most expensive thing in a tea machine.Give Bob a
call and you may be able to save some time and money.Also the rubber sleeves
wear out on diffusers .I went to replace 6 today at a clients farm.He runs
three 1200 lt machines for his IPM fruit farm.
