The CM-1500 gives impressive production rates versus cost in the insulation machine industry. If you want mobility with low power requirements and high production, then this is for you. In-fact, it will take you closer to higher production of large machine capabilities. Insulation was never been so easy but this gives you freedom to cover your quick production needs.
The many options (blowers, input power, wheel package), offer choices to the small contractor that require versatility, production, and low maintenance in a high endurance machine. (scalping augers /shredder) A Great Choice for the Weatherization Contractor.

Comparisons
Wireless Remote
Even though our machines come standard with a 150 3-way remote. If you want the instantaneous control of your machine, with ups to 1/4 mile range, this wireless unit performs well. 3 way control.
Dense Packing Kits
We carry all the hoses, reducers and wall tubing for you to go from the 3 hose to 2/1.5/1.25 and even a brick nozzle.
Hopper Cover
Reduce the dust in your truck or trailer! This hopper cover bolts on to your existing machine and includes a plastic curtain to allow for loading while diminishing the dust.
Additional Blowers
Add an additional blower if you want to extend your hose beyond 150 feet, are using an internal wetting system or plan to add a wall spray package.
We offer an additional 9 amp and 13.7 amp option.
Hose Reels
Floor Mount option shown
Our standard 34 wall-mounted hose reel holds up to 150 of 3 hose or 200 of 2 1/2 hose. We offer a live-reel hose option. See this page for all our hose reel options.
Internal Wetting System
This system reduces the cloud effect when blowing cellulose into an attic or open area. It leaves a thin crust on the cellulose which stabilizes it in the attic area. This works off a standard garden hose or will incorporate into a portable water system.
Wall, Commercial and Fireproofing Spray
Yes, the CM1500 is very capable of wall and glue spray. Components include hoses, spray nozzles, pump, water tank and wall scrubber.
