Centrifugal Blower Filters & Silencers

Industrial Strength, High Efficiency Two-Stage Filter Assemblies and Replacement Elements

Made to our exacting specifications, Paxton inlet filter elements feature durable industrial-strength two-stage filtration that significantly extends service life and traps more particulate.

The outer, washable mesh sleeve traps larger particulates, while the inner reinforced polyester media provides moisture and oil resistance, to better protect the blower.

  • Extended Service Life
  • Superior Filtration
  • Cut maintenance costs by reducing filter change frequency
  • Hydrophobic, oil-resistant material
  • High flow, high efficiency design
  • Designed to outperform other filters
  • Durable construction of powder-coated and galvanized steel for corrosion resistance

Belts

Specifically designed to suit our Air Knife Systems & blowers

PX and AT Series

  • Neoprene rubber that provides high grip, flexibility and long belt life, reinforced with Aramide cord that gives it strength
  • Uses materials that reduces stretch to less than 1%, ensuring the belt stays tight, therefore extending the belt life
  • Clever design minimises downtime

XT Series

  • Specially designed auto-tension belt, requiring no mechanical tensioner
  • Clever design reduces bearing loads, resulting in less load on the blower and so longer blower life
  • Only works with specific belts

Blower Heads

Our blower heads come with an industry-leading three-year warranty. This means that your blower can remain in operation, even with the normal wear and tear that comes with high-speed rotating equipment, through our blower head warranty programme.
The benefits of our blower heads warranty includes:

  • Shipping same day for upgraded shipping costs, or 1-2 days for standard shipping costs.
  • All returned blower heads are fully evaluated, and if a preventable issue is identified we contact you to advise.
  • All replacement blower heads are fully tested, including strict quality tests for balancing and vibration, and all blower heads are shipped with their documented quality tests results.
  • We support blower heads for 10 years after a blower series has become obsolete.
  • We provide fully tested and reliable remanufactured blower heads, if this is a more suitable route for your blower head replacement.

Tensioner

Tensioners are used to apply force to create/maintain tension in blowers. A good, correctly installed tensioner will mean years of reliable service from your blower. Tensioners require minimal maintenance, and once installed it is recommended that the spring be changed annually so the tension is maintained at optimum performance – this ensures a long belt life and high-quality blower performance.

The benefits of a tensioner include:

  • Tensioner idler profile included, designed to prevent debris build-up and keeps the unit well balanced.
  • Tensioner idler uses two bearings, meaning long life, smooth operation as this reduces the vibrations during operation.
  • Pivot assembly is spring-loaded, meaning low vibration and reduced wear. Spring replacement is quick and easy and there is no need to remove the tensioner.

Energy Savings

The PX range runs on a fraction of the power compressed air needs, and costs less to run than other centrifugal blowers too. See how we calculate these figures
