How Do Blowers Work in the Food and Beverage Industry?

Blowers are essential for a wide range of applications, ensuring the clean, consistent airflow needed to maintain strict hygiene standards while optimizing production efficiency. Here’s how Gardner Denver blowers help:

Pneumatic Conveying

Pneumatic conveying systems use positive displacement blowers to transfer dry materials efficiently across facilities. By creating a pressure differential along a pipeline, these blowers facilitate the movement of bulk ingredients such as powders and grains by drawing air towards areas of lower pressure.
