Side Channel Blower for Aquaculture & Biofloc in Africa
Side Channel Blower sized for diffused-air pond, biofloc and RAS aeration — 145–900 m³/hr at 150–440 mbar — and built for the Africa grid, climate and shipping route.
A side channel blower exported to Africa for aquaculture and biofloc has to do two jobs at once: hold its duty point on local power, and survive the conditions on site. In aquaculture and biofloc, the side channel blower carries the diffused-air pond, biofloc and RAS aeration load — 145–900 m³/hr at 150–440 mbar is the band most sites land in.
The Africa build is specified for 50 Hz / 380–415 V (3-phase) and ships CIF Mombasa / Durban / Lagos (or FOB Nhava Sheva) via Mombasa. Genset-ready builds for unstable grid power, robust filtration for dust and heat, and an in-house spares pipeline for remote sites. The recommended models are YEBL-1-145, YEBL-1-320V, YEBL-1-530; each is dynamically balanced for the continuous duty aquaculture and biofloc runs, and each ships with test certificates on request.

Side Channel Blower — the fit for aquaculture and biofloc
The oil-free workhorse for biofloc tanks and ponds up to ~1.5 m deep — 24/7 duty from 1 HP hatchery units to 10 HP farm headers.
| Model | Power | Flow (m³/hr) | Flow (CFM) | Vacuum (mbar) | Pressure (mbar) | Noise (dB) | Weight (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| YEBL-1-145 | 1.0 HP | 145 | 85 | -150 | 160 | 63 | 14 |
| YEBL-1-320V | 4.0 HP | 320 | 188 | -270 | 290 | 69 | 37 |
| YEBL-1-530 | 7.5 HP | 530 | 312 | -300 | 320 | 80 | 62 |
Diffuser depth of 1–2 m sets the pressure; stocking density and dissolved-oxygen target set the airflow. Indicative only — final selection depends on your exact duty point, altitude and air temperature.

FAQSide Channel Blower for Aquaculture & Biofloc — FAQs
Is the Side Channel Blower rated for continuous aquaculture and biofloc duty?
Yes — the recommended YEBL-1-145, YEBL-1-320V, YEBL-1-530 are dynamically balanced and built for the 24/7 load that aquaculture and biofloc runs. The duty here is diffused-air pond, biofloc and RAS aeration at 145–900 m³/hr / 150–440 mbar; the machine is selected to hold that point continuously, not just touch it on a test bench.
How is a Side Channel Blower sized for aquaculture and biofloc?
Sizing turns on two numbers — flow and pressure. Diffuser depth of 1–2 m sets the pressure; stocking density and dissolved-oxygen target set the airflow. On this duty most selections sit around 145–900 m³/hr at 150–440 mbar. Fix the duty point, add a design margin, and pick the smallest model that covers both; YEBL-1-145 and YEBL-1-320V are the usual starting points.
