Profile: Prime-Air Blowers, Inc. is a manufacturer of blowers and single stage turbines. We also offer parts and service for Carling steam turbines. The Typhoon 12 and Super Typhoon 15 marine blowers are designed for onboard marine application. With our standard Butterworth cast aluminum mounting housing, these rugged, reliable and efficient marine blowers are designed to operate on compressed air, water, or hydraulic oil. The high volume capacities of these blowers make it easy to handle gas freeing, ventilating, drying, or de-icing applications aboard ships. They are compact, lightweight and easy to handle. Light weight, yet ruggedly built, our 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/drying applications. Tornado blowers with totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) motors come in three sizes, 8, 12, and 16". Model 8 is powered by a 3/4HP motor, model 12 by a 1 HP motor, and model 16 by a 2 HP motor. Tornado 8, 12, and 16 TEFC units are furnished with a surface mounted motor on/off switch, with a 6' cord with grounded wire plug connection.
