| I have a Roots AF-series blower that is obsolete. Will the current URAI-series Roots blowers interchange directly with the AF’s? |
|
| Yes, but with some qualifications. If the AF and URAI have the same frame number, ie. 36AF and 36URAI, the URAI will duplicate the performance of the AF turning at the same speed. AF frame sizes 44 & 55 are the only sizes that require a V-belt drive change on the new replacement to duplicate AF performance. For these models, you MUST provide us with the following data in order for us to correctly size a V-drive for the replacement blower: |
|
- Motor horsepower and rpm.
- Diameter of motor sheave and blower sheave.
- The part number of the v-belt currently being used. Regardless of whether a new drive is required, you will have to change the blower sheave bushing because the shafts on the AF series were all non-standard sizes.
|
|
| The feet on the URAI units match the same pattern used on the AF’s with the same frame number. If the pipe connection size is different, the new blower has the larger size and a bushing can be used to connect to existing piping. |
