47 Blower

[Doug Rice]

I am going to have to replace my Roots 47 twin shaft blower. I wondered if anyone might have a used one for sale?

I have a 4# and a 45 but no 47.

 

[hogjowl]

That’s ok. We understand.

 

[Cleanworks]

So, why do they call them blowers? In our industry shouldn't we call them suckers?

 

[hogjowl]

We reserve that for portable owners

HM uses the twin shaft versions. If you can move the pulley that drives the water pump you can use the single shaft blower.

Much more common.

I'll take a look at it. wouldn't the pully have to be on the driven shaft?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

No

I got one now. Picked up a Hydramaster 4.7 from a friend whos wife was nagging him to get it out of the driveway. 20 years old but runs great. Now I can do trashed apts with carports I couldn't get my box truck into. Yeah.

Still, make sure the exhaust is pointing away from the building. Smaller is not always better.

I don't even back my box truck in any more. An extra hose is nothing compared to what could happen with carbon monoxide.
