More about this blower 
PX1500
High performance, flexibility and energy efficiency are the hallmarks of the PX1500 centrifugal Air Blower, which operates at a maximum 75% efficiency and delivers a maximum flow output of 2208 m3/hr @ 37 mbar.
Making the most of the advanced impeller design which is a key feature of the PX Series, the PX1500 is able to produce stronger air flow at lower blower speeds. That means exceptionally high levels of energy efficiency and cost savings.

Maximum Performance
Available at power ratings from 1.5kW to 15kW, the PX-Series Air Knife blowers are ideal for small and large industrial applications. The PX-2000 generates as much as 2550m3/hr of air flow with its 15kW motor.
Full PX Blowers Feature & Benefits
Highly Efficient For Lower Energy Costs
Ultra efficient design reduces energy costs by 50-80%, with the PX Series running 20–30% more efficient than other centrifugal blowers.
The PX2000 generates as much as 2550m3/hr of air flow with its 15kW motor. This is in contrast to only 1910m3/hr of air flow with typical 15kW blowers and means the PX Series is ideal for both small and large industrial applications.
Stringent Quality Control
All our blowers are is subject to stringent balancing, quality control and testing before leaving the factory.
Highly Reliable
The PX Series comes with high load capacity beating at rated speeds for longer bearing life.
Space Saving Design
All Paxton blowers meet IEC and NEMA standards, and come with versatile mounting and outlet positions for tight spaces.
