Title: Truckmount blowers
Post by: mark_roberts on January 15, 2005, 04:47:25 pm

Carrying on form the post below

Whats the real world difference in dry times between a 33, 36, 40, 45 blowers.

At what point is the increased power not usable due to hose and wand restrictions.

thanks
Mark

going of the blowers sizes you have mentioned,you Will see a great DIFFERENCE in using the next size up blower.i owned a twin 3 stage portable & upgraded to a spitfire 3.2, roots (36)the vac proformance was a big difference from the portable,then i bought a boxxer 421 trilobe (45)again big difference from the roots 36,then i got maxx 470  trilobe (47) blew the socks of the 45 blower,then i got   a backup century truckmount (roots 36) compaired to the maxx the vac was very poor dident like to use the century on carpets,then i sold the century & i got a spitfire 4.0 pleased with the vacc proformance on the (45)

personally i would not use a truckmount with less than a 45 blower.

water lift with these units are basicaly the same but the cfm is where the difference lies.

i think bigger than a 47 blower  is overkill unless you need very long hose runs 1000ft plus

Thanks Lee

So even on short runs of 100ft you can tell a great difference between a 36 and 45 blower in dry times?  Are we talking several hours or less.

Just trying to gauge what setup I need to aim for.
