Ultra-Portability with Great Production!
Whether you are a Do-it-Yourselfer or contractor, the latest in the Cool Machines insulation machine offers a very small footprint to allow flexibility to perform smaller jobs where space and maneuverability are key.
This machine is capable of installing 6” of cellulose and fiberglass in a 1,500 sq ft area in only 1 hour (950 lbs/hour). With a 13.7 amp, 3-stage blower running off a 15amp power supply, you will find ample power to run this unit. A 150 ft. remote cord is included. This machine is not only capable of insulating attics, it can dense pack. It provides up to 4 PSI. The unit weighs 175 lbs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What are the key differences between the CM700 Standard and Deluxe models?
The distinction primarily comes down to blower power and remote functionality:
-
CM700 Standard: Features a single 8-amp blower generating 104 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) and operates on a single 15-amp, 120-volt circuit. It is an ideal, budget-friendly option for light DIY or straightforward attic fills.
-
CM700 Deluxe: Upgrades the layout to a heavy-duty 13-amp, 3-stage blower producing 140 CFM. This system delivers up to 4 PSI of pressure, which provides the pneumatic force needed to easily switch from open attic loose-fill to dense-pack wall cavity installations. It also includes a 150 ft. 3-position remote control cord.
2. What are the real-world production rates of the CM700?
Despite its compact footprint, the CM700 series processes material exceptionally fast. Based on testing with a 100 ft. hose and a 12 ft. vertical rise, the machine achieves the following output speeds:
-
Cellulose: Up to 950 lbs/hr (processes roughly 41 standard 22 lb bags per hour, allowing you to install 6 inches of insulation across a 1,500 sq. ft. attic in just one hour).
-
Fiberglass: Up to 400 lbs/hr (approximately 12 standard 32 lb bags per hour).
-
Mineral Wool (Rockwool): Up to 600 lbs/hr (approximately 20 standard 30 lb bags per hour).
3. Will cellulose “bridge” or clog in the CM700 hopper?
No. While small portable insulation blowers commonly suffer from material bridging (where compressed fiber hangs up over the airlock entry), Cool Machines completely eliminated this flaw. The CM700 features dual mechanical scalping augers and shredders. These shafts actively slice open tight clumps, conditioning the fibers into a light, uniform volume that constantly self-feeds into the airlock pocket.
4. What size generator is required to run the CM700 on a jobsite?
To run the CM700 safely away from standard house power, we recommend a generator rated at a minimum of 7,000 watts. While the continuous running consumption of the unit is low, electrical motors experience a brief startup amp spike that is roughly 1.6 times higher than their general running rating. A 7,000-watt power supply safely absorbs this temporary load without tripping breakers.
5. How easy is it to service the internal airlock seals?
The CM700 is engineered with an open, modular architecture designed explicitly for fast field-service. The machine features a quick-release removable hopper assembly. By popping the quick-connect latches, the entire top hopper lifts away from the base, giving a technician immediate, open access to the 8″ diameter x 10″ long airlock chamber. You can easily swap out worn airlock seals right on the jobsite using standard hand tools.
