Multistage Centrifugal Blower
PERFORMER and HIGH PERFORMANCE series
Hibon Ingersoll Rand presents new state-of-the-art technology in Multistage Centrifugal Blowers.
This model offers a wide range of design features and incorporates energy e­ fficiency improvements,
complying with the strictest operational requirements for a variety of applications.
Multistage blowers are ideally suited for operations where a variable flow at constant pressure is
required. Hibon is a worldwide leader in Multistage Centrifugal Blower technology with thousands
of units installed around the globe.

Unit Assembly
Each blower is designed and tested (per ASME/ISO) to provide
a complete, compact, and reliable package. Special attention
is given to base construction and motor/blower alignment to
provide a vibration free installation.
Many accessories are available to meet environmental and
operational requirements. These accessories include inlet
­filter/silencers, modulating inlet and discharge valves,
­flexible coupling and check valves. Controls are available
from the basic surge protection to a full comprehensive
PLC based control.
Under most conditions, no special base or foundation is
­required for installation allowing easy placement in new
construction or replacement of existing, less efficient
­blowers with minimal site modifications.

PERFORMER series
The rugged and reliable Hibon Performer Series (models 60, 100, 200, 350, 450) provides a
wide range of efficient low pressure solutions for the most critical applications.
Best suited for constant pressure and variable flows you will find the Performer as a
critical­component to power plants, oil refineries, mines and wastewater treatment plants.
Offering state-of-the-art impeller, seal, and oiler design, Hibon leads the industry in
­efficiency and maintenance free operation. Combine this with high quality accessories
and PLC controls and your Performer will provide trouble free operation for years.

Manufactured with precise internal clearances

for maintenance free operation. Offer
spark free operation while providing some of
the ­highest efficiencies in the industry.

Inboard and outboard bearing housings are manufactured­

from cast iron. They are precision machined to ensure
­parallel alignment to the casing and offer a unique
­one-piece design with a labyrinth seal to eliminate
oil leaks­and pressure build up sometimes found in
­multi-component housings. Protruding mounting block
for optional vibration transducers simplify mounting and
vibration monitoring. Bearings can be changed onsite
without blower tear down.

Single carbon ring seals reduce air leakage.

Double carbon ring seals with purge available
upon request for special ­applications.

Constant Level Oiler with easy to read sight glass.

Oil housing is cast aluminum for optimal
heat dissipation with large oil sump.

Shaft is SAE 1045 (XC 38) steel.

Blower inlet / outlet heads and intermediate s­ ections

are fabricated from close grained cast iron ASTM A 48
class 30B (FGL 200) for superior strength.

HIGH PERFORMANCE series
The state-of-the-art Hibon High Performance Series (models 475, 575, 675) provides high
volume flow and the highest pressure range of the Hibon line. The High P­ erformance
takes over where the Performer leaves off and brings technical i­mprovements that make
it one of the highest efficiency blowers in the market today. Like the Performer, the High
­Performance Series is best suited for constant pressure and variable flows. You will find the
High ­Performance Blower as a critical­component to power plants, oil refineries, mines and

Cast iron inlet baffle for increased reliability

Inboard and outboard bearing housings are manufactured­

from cast iron. They are precision machined to ensure
­parallel alignment to the casing and offer a unique
­one-piece design with a labyrinth seal to eliminate
oil leaks­and pressure build up sometimes found in
­multi-component housings.

Standard design uses abradable labyrinth shaft seals

to reduce air leakage. Double carbon ring seals with
purge available upon request for special ­application.

Inboard and outboard oversized cast aluminum oil reservoir

has a larger oil capacity for improved cooling and
lubrication. ­Bearing lubrication is insured
by shaft mounted oil thrower discs.

Shaft is SAE 1045 (XC 38) steel.
