Vacuum Blowers | McMaster-Carr

Also known as regenerative blowers, use these to produce high-flow compressed air with low pressure or vacuum to operate pump drives, lift tables, and conveying systems. Compressed air blowers are also used for drying, exhausting, and aeration.

Air circulates inside the blower housing to compress air, which generates pressure or vacuum. Single-stage blowers circulate air once and then exhaust. Two-stage blowers circulate air twice and then exhaust, creating higher pressure or vacuum than single-stage blowers with the same horsepower.

Inverter-rated blowers have a motor that can run at slow speeds without overheating, so they can be used with a motor speed control (variable frequency drive).

Air-Powered Hand-Held Vacuum/Blowers for Dry Pickup

Vacuum/Blower

Vacuum/Blower with Blowout Tube

Use as either a vacuum or a blower—change the airflow direction to switch functions. These vacuum/blowers clean up dirt, dust, metal chips, and glass around machinery and workstations.

Vacuuming requires the reusable collection bag with clamp or the discharge hose, both sold separately.

Vacuum/blower with blowout tube simultaneously dislodges and vacuums debris such as metal chips.
