My Name is Adam Trebon I work with my father Dave Trebon, Trebon Constuction out of Jesup, IA I want to get into wet spray insulation/ spryed in cavity cellulose Currently all the new homes we build we do with batt insulation, Im trying to figure out what the best machines to buy are. Any help greatly appreciated!!!

A Krendl is a good choice, and we run an Insulmaxx 4000. Basically, it will come down to new or used, and then getting the pump, tank, and scrubber...that is the extra equipment you need for wet blown walls. Hope this helps.

i have looked at the 4000 and what im trying to figure out is how do u do wall spray without at least 4 ppl one filling machine one spraying one scrubbing one vaccuming how much does your insulmaxx hold in hopper can u get wireless remote?

It takes 2 people, and you spray several bays, then scrub. The guy feeding the machine sweeps up and reloads. Simple. Lots of leg work, and easier for 3 guys, but it works. We do not use a vacuum. The guy spraying does the wall scrub....i.e., 1 skilled guy, and a helper that only needs to know how to blend "wet" cellulose with dry in the machine to keep from having a problem. Learn with experience.

Best to stick with cellulose and get a Krendl.

Most any air lock machine should work
