Good evening Wolfgang,
Reducing the apparent watts to that of the actual motor power amps can be had by getting the power factor
pf to an ideal of 1.0 , with an Active Power Factor Corrector, without the experiments/calculation needed for a capacitor bank. Whether that will be enough to drop the amps to an acceptable figure-
? If the
pf of your motors were 0,90 then you might gain perhaps 10% or 5 Amps. If that's not enough, then the only other option is to fit smaller blowers, for nothing else will do it! Here's one site on Active PFC:

]
If Wyoming says
sf is 1.0, you will be drawing about 10hp/7.5kW.
