RGS-VJ (Whispair) Gas Blower

Water-injected blower for deep vacuum performance

The ROOTS® RGS-VJ is a water injected vacuum blower engineered for demanding industrial vacuum applications. Water injection helps reduce operating temperatures and enables deeper vacuum performance, while WHISPAIR™ technology reduces noise and power loss by controlling pressure equalization.

Built as a heavy-duty industrial vacuum blower, the RGS-VJ delivers vacuum levels up to 24” Hg (810 mbar) and flows up to 4,080 cfm (6930 m3/ hr). This deep vacuum blower combines water injection, durable construction and rotary positive displacement technology for dependable vacuum service.
