Learn More about Air Movers

Several types of air movers are used within the restoration industry, and each type of air mover is suited for different purposes.It is essential to consider the following specifications when purchasing an air mover:

• Amperage: This is the power required to run an air mover. Ideally, you are after an air mover with the lowest amperage; this enables you to put more equipment into a property that the power supply may limit.
• Air Flow:Air flow is measured in CFM. A high-velocity air mover (high CFM) will transfer much more air faster, allowing faster drying times. It’s important to note that with highly rated CFM fans, you may experience a high amperage and may be limited to the amount used in a drying job, so you need to weigh the benefits.
• Electrical Safety: All our equipment is tested for quality and meets Australian safety standards.

Air Movers Explained.Radial Air Movers:Radial fans, conversely, generate high-pressure air. In other words, they’ll create a steady flow of air that can be used to target a concentrated area.
We have two radial air movers, the low-profile air mover and the centrifugal air mover.Low-profile air movers:

• Great for drying houses
• Most compact
• Easily transported
• Low Amperage
• Not as noisy as some of the other air movers.

Centrifugal (Snail):

• Great for drying houses
• Higher Amperage
• It can produce a higher CFM.
• Great to be used with a heat mat
• Heavier weight

Axial FansAxial fans create airflow with a high flow rate, creating a large airflow volume. However, the airflows they create are of low pressure. They require a low-power input for operation.

• Great for drying long walls, large spaces or commercial premises.
• Larger Unit
• High flow of air
• Low Amperage
• Not as noisy as some of the other air movers.
