Blower Assembly 

The 

TWISTER

™ XL is equipped with a high performance rotary blower, including 

special features as following:  

       Three -stage, 5.7˝ (145 mm) diameter. 

      Air delivery: 99 CFM Unrestricted. 

     Steel shaft mounted on double ball bearing.        Thermoset fan end bracket. 

       Aluminum (anodized) bearing housing. 

      Aluminum commutator bracket. 

       Belt driven, aluminum Poly-V shave. 

      Stainless steel air filter/guard assembly. 

       Working pressure: 2 to 3 psi, depending of number of nozzles and engine speed. 

       Tangential bypass discharge to separate working air from bearing housing. 

 

BLOWER ASSEMBLY SHOWING CROSS SECTION 

Inspection of the Blower 

The Blower should be checked periodically, testing the bearings for abnormal conditions 
or excessive wear, checking the rotating fans and other components for corrosion, etc. 
To  know  if  detailed  inspection  of  the  blower  is  required,  a  preliminary  inspection  is 
required. 

 

To perform a preliminary inspection, the machine has to be stopped and cold. Remove 
the  three  screws  of  the  Belt  Guard  Assembly  and  take  the  guard  off;  loosen  the  four 
bolts that hold the Blower to the Upright Channel (vertical plate), move the blower down 
on the sides and remove the belt. You will be able to rotate the blower with your hand at
