White Paper: Hoffman Revolution Blower Continues Tradition Of Innovative Design
The Hoffman U.S. Machinery Division was established in 1905 outside of East Syracuse, New York. The initial product was an exhauster for the dry cleaning industry — pulling a steam vacuum across the garments. The Company grew and soon after began discovering industrial applications for their technologies. After the war period, during which Hoffman manufactured ball bearings and operated it's own foundry, the company began discovering new industrial markets for it's products. A signifi cant part of their business was in the wastewater treatment industry. Hoffman's veteran Sales Manager for the America's Jim Ward said, "In the 1950's, the wastewater treatment market became a signifi cant portion of our business and has remained that way ever since."
For aerobic digestion, Hoffman multistage centrifugal blowers became an industry standard. This air is generally 1,500–30,000 scfm, with pressure typically between 6–12 psig, with a maximum of 16 psig. With mainstay models like the 741 Centrifugal Blower, Hoffman has been the premium brand that others measure themselves against for many years. Mr. Ward commented, "Our multistage, cast iron, centrifugal blowers have set the quality and reliability standard for over 100 years."
The company went on to introduce a complete line of multistage blowers and has built a nationwide network of expert sales and service technicians. Tony Maupin, a Territory Sales Manager for Hoffman said, "All wastewater applications are unique. The application knowledge and experience of Hoffman representatives is unparalleled."
