by Shane Henson — January 21, 2013—Powr-Flite, a Texas-based manufacturer of professional cleaning equipment and part of the Tacony Corporation, is seeking to set a new standard in high-efficiency dryers with its new three-speed air dryer designed to speed carpet drying after cleaning and for use in disaster restoration.
The new system, the Powr-Flite Hybrid is available in two models, the PDH1 and the PDH2. The key differences between the two systems are that with the PDH2 model, up to six units can work together on one 15-amp circuit, plus it offers a kickstand for greater flexibility, says Powr-Flite.
“Having six systems on one circuit helps in disaster restoration and clean-up work, or for much faster carpet drying in homes and offices,” said Gary Pelphrey, head of marketing for Powr-Flite.
Both products can be used to clean carpets, as well as rugs, hardwood floors, and draperies. Other features of the machine include:
- Maximum air velocity of 3,400 feet per minute (air velocity refers to the movement of air over a surface; greater air velocity reduces drying times);
- Very low amp draw, helping to reduce electric overloads that cause blown circuits;
- Highly portable design and, at 17.5 pounds, about half the weight of a typical air mover;
- Built with very heavy duty and durable rotationally molded polyethylene; and
- Only 11.5 inches high, making the system easy to transport, carry, and store.
