This Rippert Drehkolbengeblaese is a used dust collector — sometimes referred to as a dust extraction unit or industrial vacuum system — dating from 2012 and currently located in Germany. Dust collectors of this type are used in woodworking, processing, and manufacturing environments to capture airborne particles and convey bulk material pneumatically, protecting air quality and keeping production areas clear. Rippert is a German manufacturer with an established reputation in industrial air-handling and conveying technology, supplying dust and chip extraction systems to the woodworking and timber processing industries.
This particular machine is configured as a medium-pressure conveyor system designed for wood chip transport, with a rated throughput of approximately four tonnes per hour. The conveying pipe infrastructure originally extended to 180 metres in 150 mm diameter pipework, part of which remains in place. Air capacity is stated at approximately 2,350 m³/h, delivered by a three-phase motor rated at 55 kW and built to IEC standards. The motor carries an IP54 protection rating, making it suitable for dusty or lightly wet industrial environments.
At the heart of the blower unit is a housing manufactured from high-quality grey cast iron, containing two dynamically balanced rotary pistons — the working principle from which the German designation Drehkolbengebläse derives. The timing gears are hardened, ground, and angularly toothed precision components, and all rotating assemblies run in roller bearings. Drive is transmitted via V-belts, with both pulleys and the corresponding high-performance narrow V-belts included, along with a protective cover. The complete drive unit is mounted on a common base frame incorporating motor tensioning rails and Taper-Lock tensioning bushes for straightforward assembly.
The package includes a combined intake-filter-silencer with absorption silencing, a resonance-absorption pressure silencer, and a pressure valve with a non-return damper. Connections are made via an elastic sleeve with clamps, and a pressure gauge is fitted as standard. Vibration isolators with fixing screws are included to limit structure-borne noise transmission. Electrical pressure monitoring is provided through a pressure transmitter and display unit with an electrical output signal, allowing integration into wider process control.
The unit is housed within an acoustic enclosure fabricated from galvanised sheet steel, finished in RAL 5001 with an oil collecting tray and internal lining. The enclosure is of segmental construction, ventilated by a fan wheel driven off the fan shaft, and is rated for outdoor installation, broadening the range of sites to which this machine can be deployed.
