Delivering Battery-Operated Insulation Blowers That Win New Business

A leading manufacturer of insulation blowing machines was tasked with converting one of its insulation blowers, which previously operated using a diesel motor, emitted exhaust, and was noisy, to a battery-operated device. That would allow the manufacturing team to develop more environmentally friendly products.

The Challenge

The customer lacked expertise in electrification, and their engineering resources were fully occupied with the production and manufacturing of the existing diesel operating machines. The inverter needed to be relatively simple to integrate because they have a limited engineering staff. They also needed help sourcing and sizing the ideal appropriate inverter for the job.

The Technical Solution

The blower manufacturer chose a low-voltage inverter that was then tailored to the application’s specific requirements, providing a more efficient solution. The manufacturer of the inverter provided significant hands-on assistance. They helped troubleshoot issues as they arose and provided high-quality customer service during product selection and integration of the low-voltage inverters.

Impact

The customer was able to win two deals and delivered several vehicles for testing to their end users.

More Inverter Applications

Low Inverter inverters have several industrial and automotive applications, including but not limited to:

• Electric dirt bikes and off-road recreational vehicles
• Material handling equipment (forklifts, autonomous guided vehicles)
• Airport ground-support equipment
• Aerial platforms/lifts
• Construction machinery
• Golf carts
• General low-voltage electrification needs (custom OEM integrations)
