mounted for rotation. The sealing vane assemblies are configured to seal
against the housing as the sealing vane assemblies rotate. The housing
includes an eccentric segment extending from the housing. A blower is
provided and configured to provide the airstream which flows through the
discharge mechanism. The sealing vane assemblies become spaced apart from
the housing as the sealing vane assemblies rotate through the eccentric
segment.
