AERZEN’s expertise in the cement industry
Efficiency across the entire pressure range
The requirements for pneumatic conveying vary depending on the conveying distance, material properties, and throughput. AERZEN offers a wide range of customised solutions and has the right answer for a wide variety of requirements. In the low-pressure range, Delta Hybrid screw blowers are primarily used, whilst for higher pressures, compressors from the SI series are employed.
Pneumatic conveying with AERZEN
Delta Hybrid series – Oil-free screw blowers for the low-pressure range
The Delta Hybrid direct-drive screw blowers supply 100% oil- and PFAS-free process air and feature an extended turndown of up to 1:5. Compared with conventional blowers, energy savings of up to 37% are possible. The AERtronic package control system is already integrated and handles control and monitoring.
Your advantages:
- Up to 37% energy savings compared to conventional blowers.
- Stepless, demand-based adjustment of the volume flow.
- Gentle handling of sensitive bulk material.
- High system availability with low maintenance requirement.
- 100% oil- and PFAS-free process air.
- Integrated control and monitoring with AERtronic.

SI series - Oil-injected screw compressors for pressures up to 13 bar
The single-stage, oil-injected air compressors in the SI series achieve very high efficiency thanks to an innovative screw compressor stage and a highly efficient permanent magnet motor (PM motor) of class IE5, and enable significant efficiency improvements even during partial load operation. The rotor is connected directly to the compressor shaft, so that additional losses in the drive train are avoided. The required quantity of compressed air is adjusted as needed by means of a VFD.
Your advantages:
- Significant energy savings, even during partial load operation.
- Direct drive with no additional losses in the drivetrain.
- Adjustment of the compressed air flow to meet demand.
- Highly efficient screw compressor stage.

High machine availability
AERZEN’s blower and compressor technology enables you to operate safely and reliably, even in demanding production environments. With their robust design and service-friendly features, these packages ensure high machine availability and perform their tasks in continuous operation for years and decades. They also do a great job when installed outside. Whether its high wind loads of more than 200 km/h, temperatures ranging from -40°C to +50°C, or operation in earthquake-prone areas: AERZEN machines can be used almost anywhere.
Efficient in many processes
AERZEN’s blower and compressor solutions enable numerous pneumatic conveying applications in the cement industry to be operated more energy-efficiently – from internal material transport to loading and unloading.
Applications:
- Conveying of cement, raw meal, and other bulk materials.
- Pressure and suction conveyance at various process stages.
- Filling and emptying silos.
- Loading and unloading of transport and storage containers.
- Material handling between mills, silos and production facilities.
Efficiency that pays off
AERZEN connects many years’ experience in the cement industry with high-performance blower and compressor technology. This reduces energy consumption in pneumatic conveying and improves the long-term cost-effectiveness of your processes.
