INTRODUCTION
YOUR KEY TO TROUBLE FREE SERVICE
Thank you for investing in Sutorbilt quality. The Sutor-
bilt reputation for rugged dependability has been
earned by over 50 years of service in demanding, in-
dustrial operations where downtime cannot be toler-
ated and efficient blower performance is expected.
Your Sutorbilt blower is a precision engineered blower
that has been carefully manufactured and thoroughly
tested at the state-of-the-art Gardner Denver Blower
Factory in Sedalia, Missouri.
As with other precision machinery, there are several
relatively simple installation, operation and mainte-
nance procedures that you must observe to assure op-
timum blower performance. There is no guesswork in
the manufacture of your highly advanced Sutorbilt
blower and there must be none in preparing the blower
to get the job done in the field.
The purpose of this manual is to help you properly
install, operate and maintain your Sutorbilt blower. It is
essential that you review all sections of this manual in
preparation for installing your blower. Follow the
instructions carefully and you will be rewarded with
trouble--free Sutorbilt service . . . year in and year out.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
-- The 8000 Series rotary
blowers are the positive displacement type with two fig-
ure--eight shaped impellers rotating in opposite direc-
tions inside the casing. As each lobe of an impeller
passes the blower inlet, it traps a quantity of air equal
to exactly one--fourth the displacement of the blower.
This entrapment air is forced around the case to the
blower outlet. Timing gears accurately position the im-
pellers in relation to each other to maintain the minute
clearances so vital to the high volumetric efficiency of
the rotary positive blower. See FIGURE 1.
