Blowers for Lab and Industrial Use
Lab and Industrial Use Norton® Blowers
Reliable, all-plastic corrosion-resistant units
Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics' Norton® Blowers are excellent choices for aggressive applications where metal blowers quickly corrode. Met
al blowers rely on protective coatings, which develop pin holes and pores. Corrosive vapors seep through and attack the metal, causing failure. Plastic blowers last much longer because the material is inherently resistant to corrosion.
The smaller laboratory units have round inlets and outlets. They are designed for use in lab hoods and cabinets. They are available in direct drive with two motor options and two wheel options.
The industrial units have round inlets and square outlets and offer much greater capacity.
They are proven performers in tough industrial applications, such as metal finishing, chemical manufacturing, wastewater treatment, and chemical storage cabinets. In addition to the options for drives, motors, and wheels, a full line of transitions and flexible connectors is available for connection to ductwork.
Norton blowers are ordered by selecting the right capacity, type of drive, motor and combination of plastic materials for your application.
