If you already have a pneumatic conveying system in your plant for a bulk transfer application, it is likely it has a Gardner Denver blower on it already. Ober-Read can support your replacement and repair needs for those blowers, but we can also help improve your system with newer blower designs that didn’t exist when you had the system installed.
Many conveying systems have standard Sutorbilt and Duroflow blowers on them. These workhorses are still good options, but Gardner Denver now offers additional models worth a look.
