ED,

I talked to you recently about visiting your shop and I remember you said something about you and Bill doing an impeller. Can you tell me if it is the same as Sheldons or improved. How about price and when will you have them.

Charlie,
We are working on several designs right now. The first will be similar to Sheldon's but should give slightly more air flow. The other one is further down the road and hopefully will be a cross between the material movement impeller and an air foil. This is several months away. Hopefully, we will have the first one ready within a few weeks.

I'm guessing we will see a note here when this is finished and available? Thanks! Jim.
 
It's on the web site with Bill's test results. At 8" Static Pressure it's moving 1804 CFM 9200 FPM. At 12" Static Pressure it's moving 1090 CFM at 5500 FPM. It's using 19.5 amps on the Leeson 5hp motor at 8" SP. In other words, it's a monster air mover.
 
Thanks Ed. Can you give a rough idea about the percentage of increase? I don't have the same numbers for the Sheldon impeller to look at. Also, this looks to be a welded impeller, like the sheldon...is that true?
Thanks for the info and for making it easier to order as a kit. I just told my wife that I had most of the money saved, and would be ordering by the end of the month. She didn't say no!!!!!! Jim.
 
Jim,
I'm going to put both blower curves here for you to look at. Ours develops 2 more inches of static pressure. At 8" of static, ours moves 1800 CFM while the Sheldon impeller only moves 1600 cfm at 2". As a matter of fact, when the sheldon or jet impeller reaches 12" static it is at 0 CFM. At 12" static, ours is still moving 1090 cfm. Big difference if you need the extra suction say thru a 2 1/2" hose for a dust nozzle.....to vacuum up places, or if you have long runs or a lot of fittings that build static pressure.
 
Thanks Ed, that makes it very easy for all of us to see. I'm impressed! Jim
