Insulation Blowing Machines
Insulation blowing machines feed loose-fill cellulose or fiberglass through a hose into attics and wall cavities. Nikro’s IB2013 is rated at 1,350 lbs/hr on cellulose and 400 lbs/hr on fiberglass from an 8 cu.ft hopper, and weighs 145 lbs. The IBPKG1 pairs the same machine with a hose kit: 100 feet of 2.5-inch hose, couplers, reducers, clamps and a wall tube.

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.

Gets the job done without hassle. This vacuum is powerful and reliable for everyday cleaning. Definitely recommend it.
we have three cats, and this purifier has done wonders in removing pet odors and dander
Located in the Twin Cities in Minnesota, we acquired our Brio Air Filter in mid-late Spring of this year (2023) when pollen count was high and we were beginning to experience the effects of Poor Air Quality Index as a result of smoke particulates from fires in Canada that caused the air in much of Minnesota to become hazy and simply dirty.
It is so easy to share our experience with the Brio Air Filter given how quickly and efficiently it removed pollen, dust, and smoke particles from the environment inside our home. Two people in our home who suffer from pollen-related allergies during the spring immediately experienced easier breathing and elimination of symptoms within the house. With respect to smoke particulates from Canada drifting into our environment, EVERYONE in our home experienced directly improved breathing and smell of the air when entering from outside.
An additional piece of information to account for is that we have always employed high grade furnace filters in our home’s central HVAC system. With that high grade filtration in place both prior to and after acquiring a Brio home air filter, we all quickly agreed that deploying the Brio in our home made an easily noticeable positive difference in breathing inside our home. Additionally, those of us who clean our home have observed that dust builds up slower on our floors and furniture than before we deployed the Brio unit.
We did note that the Brio is not as quiet as a few other brands/models on the market that we have tried in our home but the efficiency and quality of the filtration, along with the air turnover rate it provides,allows us to locate the Brio unit in central rooms away from the bedrooms. Since we made that change there has been no noise-related effect on our sleep, while the unit maintains the same level of air cleanliness throughout our home.
A last key point to make is how easy the Brio unit is to maintain. The simplicity of the modular construction of the Brio unit makes it very quick and easy to keep the filtration sections clean. We have not yet reached a point of filter replacement but it is obvious to us that the replacement will take a matter of seconds and can be executed by anyone in our home, including our 10-year-old son.
this bedroom purifier has transformed my sleep quality. the air is so much fresher and cleaner worth every penny
Amazing customer service and reliable products
very customer friendly and professional design.
perfect for maneuvering in tight areas the HEPA filter is a huge bonus
It seems to help reduce my allergy issues. We're glad we bought it. The only problem I had was not seeing any cubic footage recommendations in the online description when purchasing the unit. Bedrooms vary widely in size!!
This vacuum has exceeded my expectations. It's super powerful and handles daily cleaning with ease. I recommend it to everyone.
really effective in sweeping up all kinds of debris from our warehouse floor
