The 2BH1 series is the classic Side Channel ring blower. Oil-free dry operation, dual function for both positive pressure air supply and negative pressure vacuum suction.

✅ Model Code Explanation

2BH1 300 1 A H 16

2BH1: G-BH1 single-stage side channel blower series

300: Size group

1: Motor version code (1=single-phase; 7=three-phase. Model 2BH1300-7AH16 three-phase version is more common on the market)

O: Motor construction

3. Zgomot anormal: Bearing wear or foreign object entering pump chamber; stop machine immediately for disassembly inspection
4. Suprasarcina motorului: High backpressure caused by blocked inlet

📎 Alternative Solutions & Piese de schimb

1. Înlocuire casnică: Domestic 2HB series single-phase ring blower with same specification (0.4kW, single-stage). Matching connection dimensions with slightly different noise and pressure curve
2. Upgrade în aceeași serie: Three-phase counterpart 2BH1300-7AH16 (0.4kW). Pay attention to power rating difference; cannot directly replace without modification
3. Regular spare parts: Intake air filter, pump chamber O-ring seal, bearing repair kit, vibration isolation pad

📌 Installation & Ghid de întreținere

An air filter must be installed at the inlet to prevent dust entering the pump chamber; this is the most critical measure to extend service life

Flexible bellows are recommended at inlet and outlet for vibration isolation and reduce vibration transmission

Temperatura mediului ambiant: 0~40℃, inlet medium temperature ≤40℃

Long-time closed dead-head operation is prohibited; it may cause overheating and motor burnout

Reference parameters:0.4kW / AC220V single-phase, max flow 80m³/h, max positive pressure130mbar, max vacuum111mbar, blow & suction dual purpose, IP55, single impeller side channel

⚠️ Remark: No fully identical OEM substitute. Classified as [intra-brand replacement, imported competitor equivalent, alternativă domestică]. Flange and base mounting dimensions will have minor deviations. Verify port size and mounting hole pitch before replacement.

1. Intra-brand / Group Replacement (Most reliable, identical performance curve)

1. Imported Competitor Equivalents (German Side Channel Blower Brands)

III. Main Domestic Alternatives (Preferred for spare parts cost reduction, widely used for industrial OEM)

✅ Replacement Selection Rules (Important)

1. Meci 4 core indicators first: Power supply voltage & phase → rated power → maximum flow → maximum differential pressure. Machine works only if all four match.
2. Condition for direct in-situ replacement: Identical inlet/outlet flange dimension + base mounting hole pitch, no pipe or bracket rework required.
3. Scenarios NOT recommended for domestic replacement: 24/7 funcţionare continuă, high-precision vacuum control, food/pharma clean application and strict low-noise requirement. Keep original Elmo Rietschle blower.
4. Forbid downgrade replacement: Never use 0.25kW model as substitute; insufficient vacuum and flow will cause machine failure.

📌 Auxiliary Spare Parts Recommended to Purchase Together for Cross-Brand Swap

1. Flexible vibration bellows for inlet/outlet (compensate flange mismatch, vibration damping & noise reduction)
2. Intake filter assembly matched to new blower port
3. Vibration isolation pads
4. Flange adapter (required for most domestic alternatives)
5. Silencer (opțional)

Suplimentar: 60Hz Overseas Application Note

Original model 2BH1300-1AH16 supports 50/60Hz. If replacement model is used for 60Hz overseas project, performance curve under 60Hz must be checked separately; 50Hz parameters cannot be directly adopted.
