Some original applications of air pressure blower:
Air pressure blowers are also used in a field far removed from industry: agriculture.
Indeed, in vineyards, harvesters are hindered by leaves remaining on the vines. Various mechanical machines exist to try to remove these leaves with an air current and knives that shred them; unfortunately, the grape clusters located on the edges are also more or less damaged. To avoid this inconvenience, there are leaf removers based on the powerful airflow produced by air pressure blowers. Through this action, the leaves are shredded but leave the fruits intact. The leaf removal system mounted on a tractor can move up to 4 km/h and saves 15 to 20 harvesters due to the accessibility to the grapes.
The first leaf removers were made with Hibon type SNV3 air pressure positive displacement blowers.
Other original applications of Hibon air pressure blowers:
The agitation of baths to prevent floating bodies from approaching a pumping site is a possible application under pressure. Lobe blowers pulse air into the water to create turbulence and thus prevent the suction of foreign bodies.
Another very original experience with Hibon air pressure blowers under pressure was used in the 1960s by Commander Cousteau and his team in the underwater sphere of the pre-continent III operation. The Hibon blower, in a pressurized chamber, ensured the circulation of the respiratory mixture through filters retaining the carbon dioxide from human respiration. The experiment was successful, and several devices of this type were used by COMEX, a company specializing in underwater work at great depths (e.g., equipment for drilling platforms, underwater pipelines).
The list of applications under pressure is very long. Do not hesitate to contact us to discover our case studies.
