Blower Service for OEM
and Legacy Equipment

Lone Star Turbo supports centrifugal blowers from leading manufacturers, regardless of where the equipment was originally purchased. Our engineers repair, rebuild, modify, and manufacture OEM replacement components for both current production and legacy equipment.

Our Houston facility combines engineering, machining, manufacturing, testing, and field service under one roof. From reverse engineering obsolete components to complete blower rebuilds and performance modifications, every project is completed with the goal of reducing downtime and extending equipment life.

OEM Replacement Parts for Leading Blower
Manufacturers

Lone Star Turbo manufactures OEM replacement parts for current production and legacy centrifugal
blowers. When OEM parts become obsolete or unavailable, Lone Star Turbo manufactures replacement
components using reverse engineering, laser scanning, and in-house machining to restore blower
performance and extend equipment life.

Impellers • Shafts • Bearing Housings • Bearings • Seals • Wear Rings • Gear Components •
Couplings • Gaskets • Custom Machined Replacement Components

We also manufacture complete replacement blowers designed for dimensional compatibility and parts interchangeability with existing equipment. If you don’t see your blower manufacturer or model listed below, contact our team. We regularly support additional equipment through reverse engineering and custom manufacturing.

Blower Service Capabilities

Lone Star Turbo provides routine maintenance, factory rebuilds, emergency response, and field service for
centrifugal blowers. Every project begins with an inspection to determine the appropriate repair,
replacement, or performance recommendation.

OUR FACTORY SERVICE CAPABILITIES:
Complete blower inspections and failure analysis • OEM replacement parts manufacturing • Reverse engineering of obsolete components • Dynamic balancing • Vibration analysis • Lubricant and oil analysis • Bearing and rotor analysis • Positive Material Identification (PMI) • Laser scanning and 3D modeling • Sandblasting, coatings, and painting • ASME Section IX welding • Preventive and predictive maintenance programs • Field troubleshooting, startup, installation, and on-site repairs • Laser alignment • Control system support and upgrades • Operator and maintenance training

CONTROLS SERVICE & UPGRADES

Lone Star Turbo provides PLC upgrades, control panel modifications, instrumentation upgrades, variable frequency drive integration, and automation support to improve system operation and compatibility with modern control systems. Remote monitoring capabilities are also available to provide ongoing visibility into blower operation and equipment health.

ENGINEERING & FAILURE ANALYSIS

Our engineering team performs aerodynamic analysis, finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and root cause analysis when operating conditions or repeated failures require a more detailed evaluation. These capabilities support equipment repairs, long-term reliability improvements, and OEM replacement solutions for older or unsupported blower models.

Overhaul, Rebuild & Repair

Centrifugal blowers naturally experience wear from continuous operation, demanding process conditions, contamination, and mechanical failures. Common problems include bearing failure, excessive vibration, rotor damage, product buildup, flood damage, locked rotors, improper maintenance, and declining performance. A complete blower overhaul restores reliable operation while identifying and correcting the root cause to reduce the risk of future failures.

Every overhaul begins with complete disassembly and a detailed inspection of all major components to evaluate wear, damage, and dimensional accuracy. Repair recommendations are documented and reviewed with the customer before work begins. Each rebuilt blower is then thoroughly inspected and performance-tested prior to shipment and is backed by a one-year same-as-new warranty.

Performance Changes

A blower that performed well years ago may no longer match today’s operating requirements. Changes in production, process conditions, airflow demand, or system pressure can all create the need for a performance change.

Rather than replacing the blower, Lone Star Turbo modifies existing equipment to meet new operating requirements while often maintaining the original installation footprint.

Depending on the blower design, performance changes may include impeller modifications, gear ratio changes, stage modifications, or control system upgrades with variable frequency drives. Depending on the application, these modifications can increase or decrease airflow, increase discharge pressure, improve turndown capability, or improve operating efficiency.

System Audits

Changes in production demands, equipment, and operating conditions can gradually reduce blower system performance. Our system audit evaluates the entire installation—not just the blower—to identify opportunities to improve reliability, efficiency, and overall performance. Engineers assess blower operation, controls, piping, instrumentation, airflow, pressure conditions, equipment sizing, and potential losses or leaks affecting system operation.

Based on the findings, we provide practical recommendations to optimize performance through equipment upgrades, operating improvements, maintenance planning, or future system modifications. Optional data logging is also available to monitor long-term performance trends and support informed maintenance and operational decisions.

Blower Testing

Every repair, overhaul, and performance modification is verified through testing before equipment returns to service. Our Houston facility includes a test stand capable of mechanically testing blowers up to 6,000 HP (4,500 kW) across multiple voltage and frequency requirements. Testing can be performed to published standards including ASME PTC-10, ASME PTC-13, ISO 5389, and API, depending on project requirements.

Testing capabilities include performance testing, dynamic balancing, vibration and power quality analysis, overspeed testing, hydrostatic and leak testing, Positive Material Identification (PMI), sound testing, witness testing, and full-load testing. Testing verifies repaired or modified equipment before it returns to service and provides documented performance data when required for commissioning or acceptance testing.
