PD Blowers for Carpet Cleaning Vans

Pneumatic blowers  are a utilitarian’s dream and can be found in a variety of industries being used in a number of unique applications. It may be no surprise to someone who works with PD blowers and pneumatic conveying equipment every day, but the average layperson would probably never think that the same types of equipment used in a frac sand truck would have applications in a carpet cleaning truck, but that is absolutely the case. Rotary PD blowers are often used in carpet cleaning trucks as a means of ridding carpets of chemicals and steam after the carpet has been cleaned. You can view our selection of Sutorbilt Rotary Positive Blower products to get a better idea of the type of machinery we're discussing.


PD Blowers and Vacuum Pumps in Truck Mounted Carpet Cleaning Systems

Rotary positive displacement blowers provide the benefit of moving mediums without contamination from oil. They can be found in dry good, frac sand and sewage applications. In truck mount carpet cleaning systems, rotary PD blowers work exceptionally well because they provide more than enough suction to extract the water and chemicals used in the carpet cleaning solution. Without this powerful piece of equipment, carpet cleaning would be a much less convenient service, as customers would have to wait several hours for their carpet to dry with solvent-based cleaning services. Additionally, potentially dangerous chemical residues in the carpet could pose health and safety issues for customers, and could even be a potential liability. 

Just like any PD blower, a rotary blower is a noisy device when special precautions are not taken to silence the equipment. It's bad enough dealing with noisy pneumatic equipment in a "construction" type of setting where noise is not necessarily welcome but at least somewhat expected.  

Carpet cleaning companies, on the other hand, more often than not find themselves in residential areas and must adhere to noise pollution laws and regulations - not to mention their reputation. After all, no one is going to refer a carpet cleaning company after receiving threats from the neighbors about the associated noise.
