Roots RCS J Series
The RCS-J pairs Roots' largest tri-lobe platform with WHISPAIR jet technology, delivering flows to 5,723 ICFM at pressures to 18 PSIG with 3-5 dB noise reduction. Available in 6 frame sizes (715, 721, 817, 821, 826, 832), RCS-J units employ the wrap-around plenum and jet port system to meter discharge pressure and reduce pulsation, enabling quiet, efficient operation in noise-restricted, high-capacity industrial environments. The tri-lobe design with WHISPAIR makes RCS-J ideal for large wastewater facilities and industrial vacuum applications requiring minimal noise impact.
