Tornado Electric Blowers

Motor-driven vaneaxial blower available with adapters for exhaust applications

Light in weight, but ruggedly built for rough industrial use, Prime-Air Tornado Electric Blowers provide up to 3,000 CFM free air delivery for ventilation of tanks, manholes, process vessels, and similar confined spaces, as well as for cooling or drying applications.

When fitted with optional inlet duct adapters the TORNADO's high static pressure capability makes these units ideal for exhaust applications. Single and dual adapters are available. The dual inlet adapter is used with two exhaust ducts for removing welding fumes or toxic vapors from two locations at once.

Electric-motor powered, these lightweight units are easily transported from one place to another.
