Air Blower Market Assessment

Determine which industries are most likely to have companies that use compressed air in situations where air blowers could be sufficient; Determine the potential interest in converting to air blowers for those particular situations within each industry; Determine potential market barriers (price, attitudes) that may vary by industry.

Compressed air systems are very useful and valuable among various commercial, agricultural, and industrial customers. However, it can be an expensive and inefficient solution when used inappropriately and not maintained for optimal performance. Because of its versatility, compressed air systems are very often used for open-blowing types of production processes such as cooling, drying, removing debris, cleaning, and mixing. These common production processes can be done more effectively using air blowers, which in many cases provide significant energy and demand reductions, 75% to 90% savings when compared to compressed air systems. The goal of this market research project is to assess the market opportunity for the adoption of air blower technology in four standard industrial classification (SIC) groups, using a telephone survey.
