KAESER blowers
The world-renowned compressor and blower manufacturer
Established by Carl Kaeser Sr as a machine workshop in 1919, KAESER started on the road to becoming one of the world’s
leading compressed air systems providers when the first reciprocating compressor left the Coburg production line in 1948.
The final breakthrough came in the early 1970s with the development of the rotary screw compressor featuring the energy-
saving SIGMA PROFILE.

In 1991, KAESER acquired the “Geraer Kompressoren- corner of the globe. Covering an area of over 60,000 m²,

Fields of application
Water management Transportation Burner air supply Bulk materials conveying Marine applications
Efficient and oil-free gas transportation, pneumatic conveying of bulk materials, drinking and wastewater treatment (filter
cleaning and clarification tank aeration), liquid homogenisation and forced air systems for combustion equipment; the
possibilities are almost endless – KAESER blowers are as versatile and varied as the applications for which they are used.

Based on industrial PC technology, the SIGMA CONTROL 2 internal blower controller uses a range of sensors to monitor
and control all relevant machine and process parameters for a reliable and economical operation. The availability of remote
monitoring and control serves to optimise blower availability and efficiency even further.
A variety of communications modules enable blower systems equipped with SIGMA CONTROL 2 to connect to master con-
trol systems such as the SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0 and/or other centralised control systems via data bus.

wear-free operation which renders oil and bearing changes unnecessary.
Turbo blowers are used wherever process air is required in the low pressure range
– such as wastewater treatment, aerobic fermentation and flue gas desulphurisation
applications.

KAESER blower accessories:
For a wide range of applications
Different applications often require a very specific air quality. For example, some
bulk materials are sensitive to heat, whilst others may clump together if humidity
levels become too high. Another potential problem is contamination of the pro-
cess air by particles contained within the ambient air.
For challenges such as these, KAESER is able to offer not only a wide range of
cooler, dryer and filter models, but also the extensive experience of one of the
world’s leading systems providers, in order to ensure a perfect match of all air
production and treatment components.
Furthermore, the SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0 enables the delivery volume of
each blower station to be specifically tailored to meet actual air demand, thereby
ensuring maximum energy efficiency.
