The Air Systems SVB-A8 is a high-performance, 8-inch pneumatic centrifugal blower engineered for environments where electricity is unavailable or unsafe. Powered by a rugged 4 HP air motor, this intrinsically safe unit delivers massive airflow up to 3,000 CFM depending on air supply pressure, making it the ultimate tool for demanding industrial air purging.
Key Features:
• Intrinsically Safe Power: Driven entirely by compressed air (requires 10-100 PSI); contains no electrical components, eliminating spark hazards.
• Variable Performance: Airflow dynamically scales from 1,500 to 3,000 CFM based on your inline pressure settings.
• Durable Housing: Constructed from lightweight, impact-resistant polyethylene to withstand harsh job site abuse.
• Application: Perfect for refineries, chemical plants, and marine tanks where explosive vapors prevent the use of standard electric motors.
The Air Systems SVB-E8EXP is a certified explosion-proof, 8-inch electric centrifugal blower engineered for Class I (Groups C & D) and Class II (Groups E, F, & G) hazardous locations. Featuring a conductive housing and an enclosed explosion-proof motor, it safely moves 1,570 CFM of air through environments where combustible gases or dust are actively present.
Key Features:
• Hazardous Location Certified: UL and CSA listed explosion-proof 3/4 HP electric motor and integrated switch.
• Static-Grounding Safety: Molded from conductive black polyethylene with an external grounding lug to safely drain static buildup.
• Jobsite Ready: Outfitted with a 25-foot power cord (shipped without a plug to comply with NEC hardwiring or site-specific plug regulations).
• Application: Essential for grain elevators, paint booths, chemical storage, and underground utility vaults containing flammable vapors.
Air Systems SVB-E8XCUP Explosion-Proof Saddle Vent® Kit
The Air Systems SVB-E8XCUP is the gold standard for electric-powered confined space ventilation in hazardous areas. This comprehensive kit combines the explosion-proof SVB-E8EXP electric blower with a fully conductive Saddle Vent® system, ensuring OSHA compliance and worker safety when entering manholes containing explosive atmospheres.
Key Features:
• The Complete Explosion-Proof Package: Includes the SVB-E8EXP explosion-proof blower, conductive Saddle Vent®, 90-degree elbow, duct canister, a 6-foot duct, and a 15-foot conductive duct.
• End-to-End Grounding: Every single component—from the blower body to the ducting and the Saddle Vent®—is conductive to form a continuous static-dissipating pathway.
• Maximizes Manhole Space: Grants workers full uninhibited access through the manhole opening while maintaining an uninterrupted supply of Grade-D breathing air ventilation below.
• Application: Engineered for emergency rescue teams, utility contractors, and plant turnaround teams working under strict Class I/II Division 1 safety mandates.
