Limitations of Roots Blower for Pneumatic Conveying

Although the Roots Blower has numerous advantages, it also has some limitations. One limitation is its lower efficiency compared to centrifugal blowers. The Roots Blower requires more power to achieve the same level of pressure as a centrifugal blower. Consequently, it may lead to higher energy consumption. Another limitation is that the Roots Blower is not suitable for conveying materials with high moisture content. The presence of moisture can cause damage to the blower and decrease its performance. Therefore, proper material selection is crucial when using a Roots Blower in pneumatic conveying systems.
