Title: where can I buy a P/D blower?
Post by: Mike Halliday on September 28, 2004, 09:15:13 pm

I've got the chance of a 24hp engine and am getting a local engineering company to make up a frame so anyone know where to buy Blowers in the UK and what size I could power with this engine

i guess you could go to a 45 blower roots
                                        4005 tri lobe

maybe at a push you could drive a 47

is the engine water or air cooled????

i think roots blowers  are based in hull.

i know you like tinkering with engine,s but why dont you buy a cheap tm & do it up in your own time.

building your own unit can work out a very big head ache & quite a bit of cash.

new blowers cost approx £1000/1200 for a 45

Lee, The company who say they can put it all together seem to know what the are doing they fixed my burner and while I was there they were making a  PTO pressure washer  unit for a tractor ( they are agricultural engineers)

all I need them to do is design a simple pully system from the engine to the blower & pump and then mount it in a frame they qouted me a price off £600  the pump will cost me £250 the engine is £900 so for 2k plus the blower I'll have a new T/M

i'll use my diesal burner for heat.

I'm not sure about the engine but I think its air cooled. the engineers have said if I want they can get any size engine I want, I was thinking of just using my bane blower with an honda GX 13hp electric start engine.

Mike,
Richie had a used 45 blower for sale, he might still have it.
All the blowers are made in the USA but there is a firm who recons them somewhere in yorkshire, also John at woodbridge recons them so he might also sell them - new/used .

Hi mike, If you do go the route of using your bane blower and honda engine check out ebay number 7924057099 then go to their shop and they have a GX340 with 11HP for £450, it may be what your looking for if your sure an air cooled lump is going to be ok through the summer months.
