Backward wheel industrial blowers can be used for many types of applications but they are mostly typically employed for the displacement of air, for moving and conveying light materials and particulates.
A set of blades are connected to a central shaft, which is linked to and driven by a motor. Air is drawn into the fan near the shaft as the impeller rotates. As it turns, air is blown at right angles to the intake of the fan and is spun outwards to the outlet by deflection and centrifugal force.
