ROOTS™TRI-NADO™TM Truck-Mount,
Tri-Lobe Vacuum Blowers

Frame 1125

The ROOTS TRI-NADO™ TM Truck-Mount, Tri-Lobe
Vacuum Blowers have been redesigned to incorporate
the latest technology for reduced noise and vibration.
These features include:

• Cast-Foot Design for Reduced Vibration

• Stronger Construction for Minimum Noise
and Vibration

• Progressive Chamber Design That Reduces Noise
and Features Cooler Operation.

CASING - The casing is of one piece close-grained
cast iron construction. The casing is heavily ribbed
to prevent distortion under the most severe operating
conditions and incorporates the ROOTS Whispair™
feature for reduced pulsation, horsepower and
noise levels.

TIMING GEARS - The impellers are timed by a pair of
alloy steel spur gears that operate in an oil bath.

IMPELLERS - The closed-end impellers are made from
ductile iron with high tensile strength, and operate
without liquid sealing or lubrication.

SHAFTS - The shafts are 3” diameter alloy steel forgings
flange connected to the impeller body.

BEARINGS - The impeller/shaft assemblies are supported
at each end by antifriction bearings.

LUBRICATION - A patented jet spray oil slinger system
provides lubrication to gears and bearings.

TRI-NADO™ TM DIMENSIONS

NOTES:

1. Unless otherwise specified,
dimensions are in inches.

2. Do not use for construction.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Shaded blue areas indicate air pressure variations from intake to
atmosphere discharge.

Position 1 - Incoming air is trapped between the impellers and the
case, producing a vacuum in the application system.
Simultaneously, air is discharged (right) from the vacuum blower.

Position 2 - As the impeller passes the jet plenum, atmospheric air
flows into the space between the impeller and the case. This cools
the trapped air, aids impeller movement and reduces shock and
power loss.

Position 3 - The trapped air is then moved to the discharge flange
(right). Backflow is reduced, resulting in lower discharge noise
relative to conventional rotary vacuum blowers.

TESTING

Each ROOTS rotary lobe vacuum blower is given a complete mechanical run at full speed and vacuum to ensure
mechanical integrity and verify performance. The units are operated at maximum rated vacuum level for a minimum of
one hour after temperatures have stabilized. Performance readings are recorded during the test, and each unit must
meet vibration in three planes before being certified as acceptable.
