Hand Held Dryers

[MEP001]

I'd call a couple of the blower manufacturers and ask before attempting to use one as a dryer. The impellers may not like the air being slowed down so much to get it through a 1 1/2" hose.

Eric, didn't you DIY your system? It seems like you can buy the booms and nozzles from Kleen rite and build your own. I wonder what the savings is? If I attic mount I don't want a dome that just gets in the way.

If you are asking me? No.... But I do have a plan for air dryers here: http://cwguy.com/?page_id=8132

Also everything was quoted from KR.... you can purchase the relays from Amazon.com. It looks like you can save $300-400 a piece? But you can purchase only the pieces you need and want.

I did research the subject and just never implemented it. I also alluded to a larger blower at the end of the post because individual motors seems like a poor idea?

I personally like the Mosmatic/Blasto-Dry style.

Still haven't pulled the trigger on the self serve dryers yet (no pun intended) I have been trying to find out what's better the J.E Adams Turbo Towel with 1 220v blower motor or the Air Shammee with 3 blower motor setup. I recently visited a wash that had the air shammee and it didn't have alot of airflow when I pulled the trigger seemed to waste my time to the point I wouldn't want to use that function at a later time based on the performance, so I contacted the owner and explained to him my situation on buying the air shammee and asked him why the system didn't have alot of power well it turns out 1 of the 3 blower motors was not working and that really bothered me considering I would have 9 motors to maintain if I install the Air Shammee in all 3 s.s bays vs just 1 blower motor per bay with the Turbo Towel from J.E Adams, not trying to complain just doing some homework.

I've got 220 volt 2 motor Airshamee. In over four years, replaced just two nozzles and two motors in my three units. With multi motors the unit will still have decent power (instead of no power) till you change out the motor. At one time air shamee was offering a 30 day trail through KR, may want to call and ask.

I've been very impressed with the usage (i have hour meters on the units), especially with count up on c/c. There is a bit of a learning curve for customers to use them.

If that concerns you, Diskin has a system built with a single fan attached to a three phase motor. It is several hundred $ more, but that would take care of your maintenance concerns.

How do they measure this air speed of 320 mph on the Air Shammee? that is the wind speed of a F5 tornado!!!

Lol, I have that sign.. It's not 320 that's for sure.. Also I noticed recently they changed the speed claim to a lower figure. I think it was half the original claim.

Maybe this is how



Doesn't look like 320.. Lol

Cute model otherwise
