Gardner Denver understands that while ongoing service and maintenance are a critical to the long and productive life cycle of any blower. We also understand that any service time is time when units are not in use. With this in mind Gardner Denver developed the IQ to be as service and maintenance friendly as possible, so in turn you can avoid downtime costs and increase productivity. |

Smart Made Simple: Easy Access Maintenance and Monitoring
|
  |
|
The goal of the maintenance group is to ensure that equipment runs as efficiently as possible for as long as possible. At different stages this will involve routine checks, minor maintenance (changing air filters etc) and scheduled maintenance or larger service work. One of the goals with the IQ blower package was to carefully design a package that would to allow easy monitoring in conjunction with fast and easy access to all of its internal components. The end result is a package that is as service friendly as possible. Some of the key features for fast easy access include:
- Auto self tensioning belt to optimize belt load, reduce belt wear, regulate overhung loads and minimize bearing wear.
- Multiple internal monitoring sensors regulating internal heat, pressures, oil levels and run times allows the service person to easily monitor what is happening at all times.
- Data can be sent through the web to your computer allowing you to monitor performance remotely without having to constantly visit the package.
- Vibration isolators, no need for special construction pads. The installation surface needs only to be level and to bear the weight of the package.
- All performance data being recorded in the controller providing one easy access point for monitoring and negating the need to crawl in and around the package to monitor it.
- Setting advisory thresholds and receiving notices ahead of problems occurring. This allows for proactive intervention rather than shutdown.
- All the enclosure panels are easily removable with quarter turn fasteners making all components accessible very quickly and easily.
- The IQ package has a hinged lid (like a car bonnet) allowing instant visibility to all the internal components.
- Easy access oil fill reservoirs and oil drain system
- All minor components (filters, thermometers, sensors) are all easily access and can be replaced in a few minutes.
- Inspecting the IQ does not require a lot of tools. A quarter turn fastener key and a screw driver is enough to inspect the whole machine.
- If required, all of the whole blower, motor and components can be removed from the enclosure in one piece to allow total access for major service making access quicker and reducing downtime.

The singular aim for Gardner Denver with regard to installation is simplicity and a belief that anyone that uses the IQ package should be able to install and operate the unit with minimum fuss. In response to this aim, we feel that we produced genuine plug and play system that saves our customers from any additional hidden complications and or costs.
| Feature |
Problem Solved |
| Fully programmed VFD |
The VFD comes pre-programmed eliminating the need to program on site at the time of installation. |
| VFD integrated inside IQ frame |
Because the IQ VFD comes inside the existing enclosure, there is no extra space required to wall mount any drives and no need for external wiring between the package and the drive. |
| Integrated wiring |
The VFD, controller and motor are pre-wired and set eliminating the need to wire between systems. |
| Vibration Isolators |
The IQ comes with vibration isolators negating the need for any special housing pads or bolting to the floor. The IQ simply requires a flat surface that will bear its weight. |
| Structural rigidity |
The strengthened base and frame reduce the risk of damage with placing the blower package in a facility. |
Pre- wired, pre-engineered, pre-programmed features mean much faster cheaper and simpler installation without needing extra space, wiring or additional manpower to complete the installation.
The IQ is pre-programmed upfront. Should anything arise, you don’t need to deal with multiple vendors; your Gardner Denver distributor should be able to take care of it all.
