Keep up with the ‘new’ and innovative retro-fit attic standards. Building science experts and weatherization professionals alike have proven with ‘new age’ diagnostic techniques (blower door testing and thermal imaging), that ‘air sealing’ attics and eave areas with high density foam, caulking, and re-insulation, provides the highest performance and energy savings.

In older homes, the only way to properly locate breaches, air leaks, and thermal bypass areas in the attic is to totally remove the attic insulation. Once removed, critical areas can be identified, easily accessed, caulked or foam sealed, and re-insulated. Many times old insulation (due to moisture, odors, and pest control issues), needs to be removed and replaced.

All professional insulation contractors must have an effective solution….

An ‘Insulation Removal Vacuum’.

Cool Machines introduces the industry’s highest rated heavy duty wet/dry Gas Vacuum with innovative cutting edge design features. The Cool-Vac 16 is versatile, portable, and extremely high production, reducing labor time and increasing profitability. Insulation is quickly and efficiently removed from attics, sidewalls, and crawl spaces with ease.

This unit is designed to handle fire, water, and smoke damaged insulation, as well as damp wall cavity recycle with dependability and speed.

Fiber intended for recycling can be conveyed directly to your spray machine for reuse.

Waste insulation material can be discharged directly into 75 cu. ft. disposable bags (purchased separately), or directly into a truck or dumpster.

Insulation fibers in older homes can be highly abrasive rockwool and fiberglass fibers with an abundance of small objects, foreign debris, and wet sticky fibers. This inherently causes extreme wear on fan blade and chamber as well as progressive accumulation of wet fibers. The annual cost of fan blade and chamber replacement due to wear and tear can exceed $1000 depending on frequency of use.

How is our vacuum different?

Our abrasion resistant, dynamically balanced fan and low cost replaceable chamber wear strip, is the ‘first’ in our industry to reduce annual costs. The ‘Turbo-Sonic’ blade design eliminates the need for regular cleaning and service to the chamber.

Cutting Edge Features:

• The industry ‘first’ of having a low cost replaceable ‘liner’ or wear strip inside the fan chamber allows a lower cost solution to the extreme wear caused by highly abrasive fibers and foreign debris passing thru the chamber.
• A specially designed ‘turbo-sonic – FC’ blade creates fan tip turbulence eliminating any wet fiber accumulation or build-up on the fan blade and chamber area.
• High abrasion resistant fan blades are robotically welded with ‘solid’ welds to reduce the chance of a catastrophic failure due to operational stress.
• Precision, dynamic computerized balancing provides a smooth running blade with minimal wear to engine bearings.
• Powder coated heavy gauge welded steel construction.

Specifications:

• 18” dia. abrasion resistant, 3/16” blades w/solid robotic welds, dynamic computer balanced, ‘turbo-sonic / FC’ fan blade.
• 6” inlet and outlet for high production.
• 12 volt Magnetron Electronic Ignition system provides easy starting.
• Easy access battery location for quick service, battery charging and jump starts.
• Safety inlet and outlet guards reducing operational hazards.
• 16 h.p. Briggs and Stratton ‘Vanguard’ V-twin engine with positive pressure lubrication. This commercial duty engine (highly regarded as one of the most durable engines in its class), provides ample power to exceed production rates of any system in its class.
• Weight 250 lbs.
• Dimensions: 36” long x 30” wide x 48” high

Warranty: 1 year vacuum, 2 year engine

Options:

• Hour meter for routine engine service and maintenance.
• Re-coil start back-up
• 6” dia. x 25 ft. flex hose / 6” steel hose connectors
• 4” dia. x 50 ft. flex hose / 4” steel hose connectors
• 6” to 4” reducer tube
• 4” aluminum vacuum pick-up tube w/handles
• 75 cu./ft. disposable collection bags (deluxe or economy)

Hook-up Recommendations:

6” input and output tubes for hose hook-up.

Various combinations of hose lengths up to 150 ft. can be used effectively. Larger diameter hoses with shortest hose length allow for maximum production rates. Recommended: 25 ft. x 6” dia. hose for exhaust, 125 ft. x 6” dia. hose reduced to 25 ft. x 4” dia. hose for maximum vacuum pick-up in the attic. (Hose priced separately). Consult factory for options.

New: Higher Production ‘Up-Sized’ Airlock (10” x14”).

A great addition to our insulation machine line-up is the highly efficient, CM-1500. This all-fiber blowing machine handles Cellulose, Fiberglass, and Rockwool as well as damp recycle fiber for wall spray. The high pressure blower (4.5 p.s.i.) /airlock assembly, far exceed the requirements needed for retrofit and dense packing sidewalls.

This machine is perfect for the small insulation contracting professional who needs the flexibility of portability and low power requirements, yet the higher production of large machines. Innovative ‘scalping augers’ are designed to break apart the compressed bales into smaller chunks which are shredded consistently and evenly for optimal coverage before they enter the airlock. This machine does not use long paddles that are prone to wear and bending. The augers are located deep within the machine, fully out of arm’s reach, to provide a safe working environment.

For those looking for more power, this unit can be outfitted with a double blower system as well as many other optional features. (See spec. sheet)

‘Our wall scrubber is an important tool that is used to remove excess spray-on insulation level (flush) with wall studs, allowing for easy installation of drywall. The ‘wall scrubbing’ process must be fast and easy, resulting in a clean, smooth
surface that will compliment both the fiber and the spray operator.

The “COOL Tool” is a proprietary hybrid wall scrubber design that combines the best of the “T” frame technology (edge cutting), and the It’s your Insulation Business. It’s your Investment Decision. It’s our job to make it COOL.

Standard Features and Benefits

• Ultra light-weight (9.8 lbs), reduces operator fatigue
• Balanced universal handle that allows convenient reach of 10 ft. ceilings and comfortable reach from ladder/scaffolds.
• Hybrid roller design that combines ‘edge cutting’ performance with two roller supports, offering extended bearing and roller life.
• Reduced roller diameter that requires reduced motor power and eliminates fiber thrown onto operator.
• 1/8 HP TENV motor that comes sealed to extend motor life
• Quick-change rollers that can be replaced in minutes on the job site / no tools needed
• “U” frame technology (durability). This cutting edge design provides a rock solid unit that is extremely rugged, easily serviced, exceptionally well balanced and light-weight (9.8 lbs). These elements provide the Industry’s highest performance, lowest weight wall scrubber, with impressive finished results.

Specifications

Compare our Cool Tool with other “T” Frame Scrubbers

• Weight: many of the “T” Frame scrubbers weigh almost 20 lbs.
• Durability: single roller support results in poor bearing life and high incidence of bent roller shafts.
• Awkward: rollers throw fiber from wall onto the operator.

Compare our Cool Tool with other “U” Frame Scrubbers

• Edge Cutting: stationary roller supports ‘pull’ fiber from the wall and fail to clean fiber from stud corners.
• Motor Life: fiber contamination into the motor significantly reduces motor life.
