FAQ – Master Blower MB 2800

Frequently asked questions about the MB 2800

When do I choose the MB 2800 over the MB 2300?

The MB 2800 is suitable when higher air volume or pressure build-up is required. This model is often used in medium to heavier duty applications.

How energy efficient is the MB 2800?

The efficient high-speed principle allows the MB 2800 to replace traditional higher-powered blowers in many applications, resulting in significant energy savings.

Can the MB 2800 be frequency controlled?

Yes. The blower is capable of frequency control, allowing flexible adjustment to varying process conditions.

Is the MB 2800 suitable for pneumatic transport?

Yes, provided the operating point is determined correctly. For powders and granules, the MB 2800 can provide an efficient and stable air supply.

What is the difference between a turboblower and a conventional blower?

A turbo blower, such as the Master Blower series, operates on a high-speed principle in which air is efficiently moved at very high speeds. As a result, for comparable air performance, it is often possible to operate at lower motor power than conventional blowers or side channel blowers.

Key differences:

  • Higher efficiency at the same air volume
  • Lower energy consumption at correctly selected operating point
  • More compact construction at higher performance
  • Suitable for frequency control and precise process tuning

In high duty cycle applications, this can result in significant energy savings and lower operating costs.

The exact differences depend on the operating point and application. DOVAC supports an objective comparison based on air volume, pressure and operating time.

Master Blower MB 2800

The Master Blower MB 2800 is a powerful high-speed turboblower for applications where higher air volumes and stable process air are required, while maintaining low energy consumption. Thanks to its high-speed principle (up to approximately 20,000 rpm), the MB 2800 delivers high performance at significantly lower power consumption than traditional blowers.

This makes the MB 2800 very suitable for industrial processes with high operating times, where energy efficiency and reliability play an important role.

Key features

  • Highly energy efficient relative to air volume and pressure
  • High capacity with strong pressure build-up
  • Suitable for both blowing and sucking
  • Flexibly adjustable by frequency, easily tuned to the operating point
  • Stable process air for continuous or intensive cyclic operation

Energy efficiency & cost savings

The MB 2800 is often used as an alternative to conventional blowers with higher power ratings. With more efficient air generation, lower motor power is sufficient in many applications without sacrificing process performance.

Indicative calculation example

A common situation is the replacement of a traditional blower of about 18.5 kW with an MB 2800 with 11 kW.

  • Power reduction: 7.5 kW
  • Electricity price: €0.50 per kWh

This results in:

  • €3.75 savings per hour
  • €30 per day (for 8 hours of operation)
  • €600 per month (20 working days)
  • approximately €7,200 per year

In applications with longer run times or multiple installations, these savings can increase further, so the payback period of the MB 2800 is often relatively short in practice.

Actual savings depend on the operating point, control and operating time. DOVAC assists in determining the optimal power and the corresponding savings potential.
