2 Cellulose Wall Spray Jobs with an Attic Blow in Between, Jonesboro, Arkansas with Insulate You
Insulate You, in Jonesboro, Arkansas is a very busy company that has machines that are keeping them profitable. They have the ultra-versatile CM3500 with a vacuum hood recycler and a stand-alone CoolVac23. Both are by Cool Machines. We met them on-site and worked with them on dialing in the machine and getting the most productivity out of it.
This is an older unit. Our newer machines have upgrades and more production. Keith with Insulate You found a good, used machine. They needed some help with wall spray. First things, first. We sent them airlock seals to replace BEFORE we came for training. It is important to make sure that your seals are good to get the best performance.
We met the crew of Insulate You on the first site for wall spray. While spraying, they had a substantial amount of material bouncing off the wall. We dialed up the pressure on their wall pump and backed off the blower pressure. After a few minutes, this was the right combination. They continued to sail through the 2,000 sq ft ranch.
A couple of hours later, we met them on another job site to blow a 1500 sq. ft. attic. This machine is rated at 100 bags of 25lb cellulose. We timed the blowing and counted the bags. It was spot on.
After that job, we met them for their third job of the day; another ranch. This one was destroyed to its foundation by a tornado last year. This new rebuild was a 1,200 sq foot ranch. One of the crews’ challenges was that they kept jamming the recycling side of the machine. When purchasing used equipment, you never know what may be missing. We found the recycle side alert system. This sends out a high beep so the recycler knows when to stop vacuuming. This job went even faster than the first one.
It was a pleasure to work with Keith and his crew. This was a great work day and very profitable.
