Industrial blowers are vital components across many sectors, from wastewater treatment and manufacturing to pneumatic conveying and vacuum systems. When these machines falter, the impact on productivity can be significant. That’s where IBS Blower Repair and Blower Reconditioning services come into play, offering expert solutions designed to restore performance efficiently and reliably.
At the heart of IBS’s offering is its industry leading blower service capability. The company specialises in diagnosing faults, repairing damage, and reconditioning a wide range of blowers—whether they are roots, screw, turbo, side channel, or centrifugal types. This includes equipment from major manufacturers such as Aerzen, Robuschi, and Elmo Rietschle.
What Does a Blower Repair Involve?
Blower repair begins with a thorough inspection to assess the condition of your machine. You can return the damaged blower to IBS for inspection, or their engineers can attend your site to remove it on your behalf. Once examined, a detailed fault report and written quotation outline the recommended work. Because IBS holds a good stock of common parts like bearings and seals, repairs can often move forward quickly without waiting for slow supplier deliveries.
Repair work focuses on returning the machine to serviceable condition while preventing future failures. This may include replacing worn parts, address alignment or wear issues. Prompt repairs not only restores performance but also protects downstream equipment and reduces the risk of costly breakdowns.

While repairs fixes specific faults, Blower Reconditioning goes deeper—bringing machines closer to their original performance potential. IBS applies advanced technologies to restore worn surfaces and internal components that might otherwise be deemed beyond damage. This process often restores machines that other providers or even original manufacturers might consider obsolete.
Reconditioning is particularly valuable when downtime is critical. Instead of waiting weeks for new parts or equipment, customers benefit from a faster turnaround as IBS’s team focuses on refurbishment.

Service Exchange and Hire Options – To further reduce downtime, IBS offers service exchange units and blower hire options. If a repair might take longer than acceptable, a reconditioned unit can be dispatched promptly to keep operations moving.
Hire equipment is another valuable resource, especially during emergency breakages or planned maintenance. IBS stocks blower sets and bare shaft blowers ready for short-term or extended use, ensuring customers remain productive while their own equipment is being serviced.
A core strength of IBS Blowers lies in its experienced team of engineers and technicians. Whether working in-house or attending on-site, they provide technical support, fault diagnosis, and practical solutions tailored to each situation. Emergency response aims to be rapid, often within hours for customers located near available engineers.
Whether you’re facing an unexpected breakdown or planning proactive maintenance, understanding the value of professional repairs and reconditioning can make all the difference in keeping your systems reliable and efficient.

Portable vacuum units play a vital role in many industrial environments, especially where flexible, high-powered suction is required for cleaning, material recovery, or mobile processing. However, due to their demanding use in harsh conditions, they often require specialised care.





IBS repairs, services and reconditions everything including compressors, road tanker equipment, filers, valves and seals, and pumps. Portable vacuum units are a regular for repairs and reconditioning, for example the FVP25 portable vacuum unit, as well as other manufacturing machines. A full servicing workover involves the changing of filters and seals, replacing vacuum pump oil, checking vacuum relief valves for wear and tear and substitution where necessary, checking the electrical circuits and their components to identify possible weaknesses and performing risk assessments. Potential problems caused by constant use and checking and re-tensioning or replacing of drive belts are identified and solutions costed and implemented.
While vacuum and pump technological application is some of the oldest technologies in manufacturing and engineering, they are still very much in use today. The successful application of this equipment across various industries is a testament to the value added to many production environments. Pumps and vacuums, commonly found across commercial, food processing, chemical, petrochemical and water supply industries, to name but a few, are as invaluable as they are long-lasting. When properly installed and utilised correctly they are tried and trusted hardy competitors against ongoing wear and tear.
