Roots RCS Series
The Rotary Centrifugal Style (RCS) represents Roots' largest industrial PD blower, featuring three rotating lobes that deliver higher flows with lower speed. Available in 3 frame sizes (817, 824, 827), RCS units operate from 4,050 to 4,650 ICFM at pressures to 18 PSIG and vacuums to 16 in.Hg. Built with integral-shaft ductile iron impellers, rigid cast-iron casing, and carburized spur gears, RCS blowers handle the most demanding continuous-duty industrial applications.
