Insulation Blowing Machines for Attics and Wall Cavities

How much insulation does the IB2013 move per hour?

Nikro rates the IB2013 at 1,350 lbs/hr on cellulose and 400 lbs/hr on fiberglass, fed from an 8 cu.ft hopper.

Both figures are weight per hour, so the higher cellulose number is not more coverage per hour: cellulose weighs more per cubic foot than loose-fill fiberglass. Nikro lists a 1 HP totally enclosed fan cooled drive motor, an agitator and shredder system, a two-stage 10.5 amp blower, and hose at 2.5" diameter up to 200 feet.

What does it need for power, and how big is it?

Nikro specs the IB2013 as dual input at 15 amp/115V, so confirm which circuits the house actually has before the truck is unpacked.

The machine weighs 145 lbs and measures 20"W x 28"D x 52"H. Construction is welded steel with a powder-coated finish, with hopper guards, a recessed control panel and what Nikro describes as limited moving parts. Warranty is 1 year.

Machine only, or the hose package?

The IBPKG1 is the IB2013 supplied together with a hose kit, so the fittings arrive with the machine rather than on a separate parts order.

The kit is two 50' lengths of 2.5" hose for 100 feet total, two 2.5" couplers, a 2.5"-to-2" reducer, a 2"-to-1.5" reducer, nine hose clamps, a 2" x 3' hose and a 1.5" x 10' wall tube. Buying the IB2013 on its own makes sense when you already run 2.5" hose and the matching fittings.

What about the insulation already in the attic?

Blowing over an existing attic floor can disturb the material already there, so identify what is up there first.

Vermiculite is one material to identify before anything is disturbed. EPA advises treating vermiculite attic insulation as though it contains asbestos and leaving it alone, because a large share of the vermiculite sold in the US came from a mine with asbestos contamination and distribution continued into 1990. Age alone does not rule it out, and other asbestos-containing materials can also be present, so the job is identifying what is there rather than checking for one product. EPA's Protect Your Family from Asbestos-Contaminated Vermiculite Insulation covers what to do on finding it, and Seal and Insulate with ENERGY STAR covers where insulation belongs in a house and how it works alongside air sealing.
