Bison has announced the issuance of a patent for the RAM Reverse Air Movement Blower Motor.
This invention, spearheaded by senior director of technology, David Finkenbinder, overcomes the performance shortcomings of traditional thru-flow air blower motors through its design.
RAM technology is designed to transform various air moving applications, catering to industries that prioritise lower operating temperatures, enabling achievement of reduced noise, and extended motor life.
Unlike traditional thru-flow motors that face overheating challenges, RAM technology employs a reverse airflow design. The motor side is only exposed to ambient air intake, ensuring optimal cooling even in near-sealed conditions. This innovation eliminates the need for costly thermal protection or energy-inefficient bleed holes, enhancing reliability, sound performance, and overall motor life.
Motors with RAM technology operate at cooler temperatures, enhancing brush life, commutator performance, and overall reliability. The technology achieves a remarkable 6.5% reduction in decibel levels and a significant 48% reduction in Sones compared to traditional thru-flow motors. RAM technology also completely removes the necessity for a leak path at low flow conditions, leading to increased product performance and reduced noise.
Another key benefit of RAM technology is its versatility. The motors support straight air exit, peripheral, and reverse airflow, providing versatile solutions for various applications. The technology can also significantly reduce carbon dust emissions by applying V0 rated foam to surround the motor, which improves product performance and also helps minimise noise. The product is available in a range of custom design options, providing lightweight applications, shorter heights, and larger diameters to meet specific end-use requirements.
