HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO BUY?

Choosing an insulation blowing machine is an important decision that requires some sort of way to compare them that a person can understand. What we have done is developed a simple chart comparing some of the common insulation machines on the market. We decided upon a totally objective system. We take the pounds per hour of fiberglass and cellulose and divide that into the cost of the machine. All machines featured are industry leaders in fiber output and quality built machines. Since a contractor gets paid by output, we thought this chart would be useful to contractors in calculating the actual cost of available lightweight/portable machines.

Manufacturer	Cellulose lbs/hour	Fiberglass lbs/hour	Weight	Cu ft	Price (usd)	Cost/lb hour
Cool Machines CM1500	1860	755	265	10	$5,220	$2.47
Intec Force 2	1800	428	283	8.2	$7,000	$3.47
Intec Wasp	1800	510	280	11	$6,600	$3.66
Accu 1 9400	1800	700	390	14	$5,895	$3.27
Krendl 500	1700	700	505	8	$8,100	$4.76

Our equipment is a ‘compact’ low power requirement design utilizing a proprietary ‘scalping’ auger design to achieve the performance of the bigger machines. This efficient design allows us to use smaller drive motors (less power, less cost, lower replacement cost), without compromising production rates and coverage.
