I have been kicking around the idea of building a 10hp dust collector for my bosses shop which desperately needs it. Boss man said he would pay for it and pay me for building it. If we do this it will need to be at least 10hp as it will have to support a 150ft of 12” trunk line and around 15 various drops most of them being 6” all the way to the machines port. We would vent it out side behind our building.
With that being said, do any of you guys and gals have any links to a 10hp sized blower? We have several extra 10hp 240v 3ph motors laying around in various RPM’s. Surely one of them could be fabricated into a setup for a blower. All that I would need besides the blower would be pulleys and belts. At worst I would have to purchase a different 10hp 240v 3ph motor.
Could anyone make any suggestions and/or links on blowers?
