+1 (978) 295-7538Powr-Flite PDS1 Powr-Dryer: 3800 FPM Commercial Restoration Dryer
The PDS1 Powr-Dryer produces 3800 FPM from a 1/2 HP motor — a 27% airflow increase over hybrid 0.4 HP carpet dryers — in a 22 lb co-polymer polypropylene body engineered and assembled in the USA. Three speed settings let restoration and janitorial crews match output to surface type, and a 4.4-amp draw keeps circuits stable when multiple units run simultaneously.

Water Damage Restoration and Facility Drying Applications
At 3800 FPM the PDS1 is built for jobs where standard 3400 FPM hybrid dryers are insufficient — open concrete subfloors, large structural cavities, or wet screed that needs aggressive evaporation before re-flooring. The 3-speed control matters: low speed on freshly laid wood or vinyl prevents edge curl; high speed accelerates open-air structural drying where surface damage is not a concern. The 20 ft cord reaches across most commercial office rooms and school hallways without an extension cord, and the stackable design means a crew can transport a bank of PDS1 units in a standard van without a trailer.
PDS1 vs. PDS1DX — Handle and Wheels or Not
The PDS1 and PDS1DX share the same 3800 FPM, 1/2 HP, 3-speed motor and identical 22 lb weight and 20 ft cord. The PDS1DX adds a handle and wheels for repositioning on job sites without picking the unit up. For restoration contractors who move units constantly across large multi-room losses, the DX variant saves operator effort; the PDS1 is the right choice when crews stack and carry units in one trip. The PDS1 carries a superior housing warranty at 5 years vs. 1 year on the PDS1DX.
