Air blowers play an important role in biological sewage treatment systems, but they must also be the most efficient and guaranteed to work. Nitto Kohki from Japan, with a European headquarters in Germany, is proficient in linear-piston-technology. This technology does not need troublesome diaphragms and allows a very long lifetime, without the risk of the pump breaking down.

Above all, lower running costs should be emphasised. Whereas the diaphragm-technology requires a change of parts after only 2 years, linear-piston-pumps run for much longer so with much lower service costs. Spare parts can be easily ordered and last for years as many users can confirm.

Another important fact is that these air blowers are very silent. There is no need of further noise damping. You can use the Blowers in water levels between 1 & 2,5m and the max air delivery-rate is 12 m³/h. Besides their Air blowers, Nitto Kohki offers a wide range of “Linear Shuttle” air-pumps, liquid–pumps, diaphragm-pumps, in AC and DC but also quick release couplers.
