A roots blower is a type of compressor that contains two rotors with a pair of lobes which rotates in an airtight casing. When these rotors rotate, it compresses the air present at atmospheric pressure and traps the air in a pocket. The lobes which are in rotary motion deliver this compressed air to the receiver. Subsequently, more and more air is delivered to the receiver which results in a high pressure in the receiver and then used at required pressure. These are mostly used as Vacuum Pumps in the industry.
