When a new customer calls that's getting into the pneumatic blower "hauling" business, whether its crude, chemicals, bulk products, or the like, I always let them know that the Drum D807 widely appreciated for being significantly more forgiving and easier to manage, especially for less-experienced operators.
Here's why the Drum D807 blower often stands out compared to the Gardner Denver blowers:
1. User-Friendly Operation
-
Wider RPM Range:
It has a broader operating RPM range, allowing operators a bit more flexibility without immediately overheating.
-
More Forgiving to Mistakes:
Operators who occasionally drop below recommended RPM levels don’t immediately experience damaging overheating conditions.
2. Better Thermal Management
-
Enhanced Cooling:
The D807 blower design tends to dissipate heat more efficiently, significantly lowering the risk of heat plug activation compared to Gardner Denver blowers.
-
Less Sensitive to RPM Variations:
Brief RPM fluctuations won't immediately trigger thermal relief mechanisms, allowing operators a more relaxed operation window.
3. Easier Maintenance & Durability
-
Simplified Lubrication:
Maintenance requirements (like lubrication and clearance adjustments) are often simpler, decreasing operator burden and potential for errors.
-
Robustness and Reliability:
The Drum D807 has a solid track record for durability, even under less-than-ideal operating conditions.
Bottom line:
Your preference makes sense, especially given your insight into how drivers typically operate the equipment. The Drum D807 not only reduces costly downtime due to overheating but also offers peace of mind when handing equipment over to operators with varying skill levels.
