Tips To Improve Performance Of Insulation Removal System

Insulation removal is a complicated process requiring numerous constituent tools. The three most important ones are insulation removal vacuum, suction hoses and bags for collecting the insulation and old debris. When it comes to improving the performance of an insulation removal setup, the first guess is to go for a stronger vacuum. This, however, is a misconception. In this blog, Heat Seal Equipment Ltd., purveyors of duct cleaning tools and air handling equipment, will reveal two important tips to ensure a smooth removal process.

 

How To Improve Suction And Insulation Removal?

 

Focus On Hose Size

Rather than focus on increasing the horsepower of the insulation removal vacuum, opt for a hose with a larger diameter. In the case of the former, you can only operate the vacuum at higher speeds without revving, but it doesn’t necessarily increase the output. Instead, opting for a larger diameter hose, such as a black knight 6’’ hose, will provide more suction and can draw in insulation at a greater pace.

 

Positioning Of The Vacuum Bag 

 

An insulation removal vacuum bag can be placed right next to the vacuum. However, this will be a poor choice, as sharp objects such as nails and pieces of wood can also get sucked in along with the insulation. As a result, when they reach the vacuum at high speeds, they will easily tear through the insulation removal vacuum bags. Rather place the bags at a distance of a few meters from the vacuum and connect it using another set of hose. This will reduce the velocity of the sharp objects and ensure safe collection.
