General Equipment Company offers axial-flow confined space ventilation blowers

August 2, 2016

General EquipmentPart of General Equipment Company’s extensive line of hazardous and non-hazardous location ventilation blowers, the EP12ACP axial-flow confined space ventilation blower is suitable for conventional confined space worksites such as manholes and sewers. It is also powerful enough to push air across large, open areas, making it great for drying applications, improving indoor air quality levels and removing unwanted odors.

Offering a 12-inch diameter, the EP12ACP is ideal when larger airflow volumes are necessary to help comply with tough confined space regulations. The unit is powered by a 1-horsepower, 115 VAC single-speed electric motor and produces 1,825 CFM free air delivery.

Featuring heavy-duty polyethylene construction, the blower is durable enough to handle jobsite abuse, yet light enough to move around with ease. The polyethylene also allows the unit to maintain its strength and physical appearance by eliminating corrosion and damage concerns that are common with similar metal-built models.

For added versatility, the blower has the ability to either remove air from a confined space area or blow fresh air in, simply by changing the ventilation duct location on the blower’s inlet or outlet. The EP12ACP provides the power necessary to push air through a 12-inch diameter flexible duct up to 100 feet in length.

Also included in the axial-flow confined space ventilation blower line are the EP8ACP (501 CFM), EP8AC25P (902.35 CFM), and the EP16ACP (4,450 CFM).

All General confined space ventilation blowers are flow tested according to industry performance standards. Published flow rates are certified by an independent testing laboratory.

In business for more than 60 years, General Equipment Company is a family-owned manufacturer of earth augers, ventilation blowers, asphalt cutters, surface preparation equipment and temporary lighting equipment. For more information, contact General Equipment Co., 620 Alexander Drive S.W., Owatonna, MN 55060, call 507-451-5510 or 800-533-0524, fax 507-451-5511 or 877-344-4375, or visit the website at www.generalequip.com.
