Hi everyone,I have a bunch of cellulose bags of inhalation I got awhile back for my attic. My attic currently has blown in fiberglass. I picked up a harbor freight dust collector and plan on using it to suck out the fiberglass.
I was thinking I should be able to use the system in reverse to blow the cellulose back in. I was seeing if I could get some feedback and ideas.
The dust collector has a 4 inch hose exit. I was thinking of getting a reducer so I could use my shop vac hose. I would connect a 55 gallon plastic drum to the reduced hose. The drum would be the spot where I would dump the cellulose. I need to also think of a way to agitate the cellulose inside the drum. I have a mixer with large a large paddle. If I could add the paddles inside the drum that would be great. The I would have another hole in that drum that functions as the exit and world be used to blow the insulation. I have 2 25 foot shop vac hoses.
I saw a thread awhile back on here of a guy who did a mini insulation blower. Concept is similar but larger scale. Any thoughts our anyone see any flaws with the plan?
