CX-SERIES CENTRIFUGAL BLOWER · YBCB-CX / TBM

When the job is moving air, not squeezing it

The CX-series is a single-stage centrifugal turbo blower for high-volume, medium-pressure air — 270 to 6000 m³/hr at up to 7000 Pa. Ten trims from 0.25 to 20 HP handle film, printing, drying and dust collection where a ring blower would be the wrong tool.

01Application-First

What the CX-series was built to do

Centrifugal blowers earn their place on lines where the task is to move a large mass of air across a filter, a web or a drying zone — not to build deep pressure. Three duties define the range.

Beyond these three, the CX-series runs combustion and burner air, cooling and ventilation, aeration where volume beats depth, and general process air. If your resistance is measured in kilopascals and your need is airflow, this is the family. If you are fighting hundreds of millibar, look at the ring blowers or high-pressure centrifugals instead.

02Working Principle

One wheel, one throw, a lot of air

Air enters the CX along the shaft axis, straight into the eye of a bladed impeller. The wheel flings it radially outward; the spiral volute around the impeller catches that fast-moving air and converts its velocity into pressure as the cross-section widens toward the discharge. It is a single energy exchange — accelerate, then diffuse — which is why a centrifugal blower delivers high volume but modest pressure compared with a regenerative machine.

Because the pressure comes from wheel speed, performance scales with RPM: run the same wheel faster and both flow and pressure climb along a predictable curve. That is also why supply frequency matters — a 60 Hz motor spins faster than a 50 Hz one and shifts the whole curve. The impeller blade form (the CX uses an efficient backward-leaning profile on the larger trims) sets how steeply pressure falls as flow rises.

The practical upshot: a centrifugal blower is forgiving of volume and unforgiving of pressure. Ask it to move a great deal of air across a filter or a web and it excels; ask it to hold deep pressure against a nearly closed valve and flow simply collapses down its curve. Size it at the flow you need against the real system resistance, and it will run quietly for years.

03Airflow Coverage

See the range before you read the table

Each bar is a model’s operating flow window — from its loaded (low) figure to its open (high) figure — drawn to one scale. Overlap is deliberate: it lets you pick the trim whose window centres on your design flow rather than one that only reaches it wide open. Click any bar to jump to its full spec row.

A centrifugal blower does not hold one flow; it rides its curve. The window shows where the machine is comfortable, so you can size for the design point with headroom on both sides.

05Construction & Materials

A rigid volute and a well-balanced wheel

Volute & impeller

Fabricated or cast volute with a dynamically balanced steel / aluminium impeller. Balancing is critical on a centrifugal wheel — the CX is balanced to run smooth at speed, which is why the larger TBM trims are heavy and rigid rather than light.

Drive & motor

Direct-drive TEFC motor, IP55, matched to the impeller so flow and pressure land on the datasheet curve. No gearbox, no belt to tension on the standard build.

06Install & care

Installation & Maintenance

Bolt to a flat rigid base, check rotation against the volute arrow, and keep the impeller on filtered or clean air. Watch bearing temperature and vibration; an unbalanced wheel from ingested debris is the usual failure mode. Re-grease bearings on schedule.

On dust-collection duty always mount the CX downstream of the filter so the wheel sees clean air; on drying and web duty keep the inlet clear and the discharge ducting sized to avoid throttling the machine up its curve. Support ductwork independently so its weight never loads the blower flanges.

07Applications

Three duties that define the range

  • Film & web handling 270–3300 m³/hr · CX trimsAir flotation, cooling and edge control on plastic film, foil and paper webs. High, steady volume supports and cools the moving web without touching it — the low-pressure, high-flow curve of the CX is exactly right.
  • Printing & drying 780–4500 m³/hr · CX / TBMInk and coating drying, sheet transport and air knives on offset, screen and flexo lines. The CX supplies the volume an air-knife plenum needs to strip moisture and set ink at line speed.
  • Dust collection 3000–6000 m³/hr · TBM trimsBag-house and cyclone extraction, fume and fine-dust capture. Mounted on the clean-air side, the high-flow TBM trims hold face velocity across the filter media for continuous collection.

Centrifugal blowers are bulky for their weight, so crating volume drives sea freight. We quote to your Incoterm, protect the volute and shaft in transit, and — critically — wind the motor for your exact frequency, because a 50/60 Hz mismatch moves the whole performance curve.

10Frequently Asked Questions

Answers for Specifiers & Buyers

How is a centrifugal blower different from a ring blower?
A centrifugal (turbo) blower flings air outward once through a bladed wheel — high volume, modest pressure. A ring blower regenerates the air many times for high pressure at low volume. The CX-series is the tool when you need to move a lot of air (hundreds to thousands of m³/hr) against a few thousand pascals, not a few hundred millibar against a trickle.
What is the difference between the CX and TBM models?
Both are single-stage centrifugal blowers in the same family. The YBCB-CX trims (0.25–5 HP) cover the low and mid volume band up to ~3300 m³/hr; the YBCB-TBM trims (7.5–20 HP) extend the range to 6000 m³/hr for the largest drying, extraction and dust-collection duties. Pick by the airflow band your process sits in.
Why is airflow quoted as a range?
A centrifugal blower's flow slides along its curve with back-pressure: open the outlet and it moves the higher figure, load it up and flow falls to the lower figure. The two numbers bracket the operating window. Read them with the pressure column — the CX holds the quoted Pa across that flow range.
Is the CX-series suitable for continuous dust collection?
Yes — it is one of its primary duties. High volume at a few kPa is exactly what a bag-house or cyclone needs to maintain face velocity. Fit the blower on the clean-air side of the filter so the wheel handles filtered air, and size for the system resistance at your design flow.
Which supply voltage and frequency do you build for export?
Standard is 415 V / 3-phase / 50 Hz TEFC. For export we wind 200–240 V or 380–460 V at 50 or 60 Hz. Note that centrifugal performance scales with impeller speed, so a 60 Hz motor shifts the curve — tell us your frequency up front so we quote the right flow and pressure.
How loud is the CX-series and can it be reduced?
The datasheet lists two sound figures per model — a lower free-field and a higher near-field level — rising with power to around 95–110 dB(A) on the largest TBM trims. Inlet silencers, acoustic ducting and enclosure reduce it; specify the noise target on your RFQ and we will advise the treatment.

11Who Builds It

Since 1998 — 26+ Years of Air Engineering in Faridabad

Centrifugal blowers live or die on balance and curve accuracy, and both come from experience. Yash Blowers has been building and matching impeller-and-volute sets in Faridabad since 1998 — the CX-series is a proven, repeatable platform, not a catalogue entry we outsource.

Every unit is run and checked against its rated point before dispatch and carries an ISO 9001:2015 certificate. That consistency is why printers, converters and dust-collection OEMs standardise on the CX across their lines.

Yash Blowers Private Limited has manufactured blowers and vacuum pumps from its ISO 9001:2015 plant in IMT Faridabad since 1998. Machining, assembly, balancing and testing are done in-house — so the machine you buy is the machine we built, backed by a 12-month warranty and a spares network that keeps decades-old units running.
