            Be careful -- I bet that would filter debris from 1 micron to 250 lbs!

                squirrel cage blower......

                Pappy, I think you could move enough air or dust particles with that one
                to blow you shop dust from the "playpen" into the next town over. eezlock

                  This picture could explain why the cage is now empty.

                    Had to show those monsters. 'Air Filter From ****' was the first thing to pop into my mind when I saw them!

                    On a serious note, The building I bought had 2 exhaust fans installed. The wall fan won't be used when it goes back up, but I think I will add a filter holder to the inside of the roof vent.

                    The dome is 3' high. The opening in the bottom is 2' square with a 1725 rpm motor turning a 14" diameter fan about 10" high. I haven't tried to find any specs on it yet as far as how much air it will move.

                      Pappy, Is the rooftop a 220 or 3phase motor? We have those on some of our buildings at work and they are all 3phase.
