Competitor SL rotary air blowers are designed with features ordinarily found on premium grade blowerssuch as splash lubrication throughout, doublerow ball bearings for durability and helical timing gears for quiet operation. From the leader in gas blower technology, Competitor GT rotary gas blowers incorporate the features of our Competitor SL models and also include the field-proven cartridge type, balanced mechanical seals featured in our PD Plus gas-tight models. Upgrading to Competitor SL/GT is simple, since models are designed to be generally interchangeable, with respect to footprint, shaft height, diameter and port size with equivalent sizes of Universal RAI & RAI-G and most , Legend models.
Our Equalizer family of blowers also includes special features usually found only on premium blowers, but at competitive prices. They are medium duty, compact blowers that are available in popular 4.5" and 6" gear diameters.

Engineered Solutions
PneuMax and PneuPak are dependable and economical low pressure (up to 15 PSIG [1.03 bar g] or 16 Hg [540 mbar g] vacuum) air sources for many industrial and municipal applications such as pneumatic conveying of bulk powder, seed or other granular material, fluidization/agitation of bulk powders, wastewater aeration, and motive force for vacuum exhausting, dairy milking and central vacuum systems. PneuMax boasts a small package footprint with integral noise control enclosure for guaranteed* open field noise performance of 85 dB(A) at 1 m., as well as built-in instrumentation, check and pressure relief valves. With typical availability of less than one week after receipt of order, PneuMax gets air to your system FAST. PneuPak provides a conventional, vertical flow design with an integral silencer/base combination, and is compact in terms of floor space. * Noise guarantee is limited to test results collected at Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems facility, Springfield, Missouri USA, on a single PneuMax unit operating at maximum rated blower speed, and maximum rated blower pressure, with average of measurements taken at 1m distance, 1.5m above floor not to exceed 85 dB(A). Due to the many uncontrollable variables associated with individual installations, installed noise levels cannot be guaranteed.
