A PACKAGED DEAL ADVANTAGES OF THE GARDNER DENVER IQ-HE BLOWER PACKAGE Many engineers and maintenance professionals live by the maxim “If you want something done right, build it yourself.” Whether for budgetary reasons, flexibility, or to meet a niche need, plant owners often embrace this idea, having their team build custom blower applications using a variety of parts and accessories. While these specially built blowers can have their upsides, it’s important not to overlook the strengths of getting a full, factory-made package. No unit illustrates this better than the Gardner Denver IQ-HE. REDUCED COSTS Often, the sticker price of factory-built units can take them out of consideration. But a finely tuned, innovative blower package can quickly deliver a return on investment. The IQ-HE does this by saving on both energy and maintenance costs. Its integrated helical screw blower delivers high-compression efficiency at a low rotor speed, consuming up to 30% less energy than other models. Maintenance and downtime are also reduced thanks to Gardner Denver’s user-friendly design sensibilities. MAINTENANCE FRIENDLY Factory-built packages have the advantage of being able to make sure every part fits together perfectly to make life easier on service technicians. For example, every routine maintenance operation can be done from the front of the IQ-HE, including checking oil levels and changing the belt drive. The front panel of the enclosure also features a digital control panel using Gardner Denver’s proprietary monitoring software, which will notify you the moment any abnormalities in operation occur. This allows you to stop minor issues before they become major ones, cutting back significantly on damaged parts and downtime. SMALL AND SILENT Last but not least, packaged units are often built from the ground up to save space and cut down on noise. This is certainly true with the IQ-HE, which can come in a frame as compact as 53.15 inches by 53.15 inches by 62.30 inches. This enclosure doesn’t just reduce the footprint the package has on your factory floor — it also uses open-cell polyurethane foam and optimized air passages to keep sound pressure levels below 70 dB(A).
TIME-CONSUMING: These important, complex tasks don’t require you to do the first 80% of the work. Identify what they are, pass them to someone else, and step in for the final 20% to give approval. TEACHABLE: Is there a task only you know how to do? If so, teach someone else to do it, and step in for the last quality check when it’s done. TERRIBLE AT: It’s okay to be bad at some things. Great leaders know when to pass tasks off to someone who is more skilled than they are. The task will get done faster and at a much higher quality. TIME-SENSITIVE: These tasks need to get done right now but are competing with tasks of a higher priority. Just because it has to get done immediately doesn’t mean you have to be the one to do it. Sure, some tasks only you can accomplish, but these are extremely rare. As the Virgin Group founder Richard Branson warns, needlessly resisting delegation is the path to disaster. “You need to learn to delegate so that you can focus on the big picture,” Branson says. “It’s vital to the success of your business that you learn to hand off those things that you aren’t able to do well.” LAUGH OUT LOUD
This overall level of optimization and efficiency should make any business in need of an industrial blower think twice before seeking out a custom job.
