Product Description

Tempest offers the most complete line of gasoline and electric powered blowers for fire fighting applications. Featuring durable all steel frames, spun aluminum shrouds and composite impellers, the Tempest Power Blower has set the standards for fire/rescue blowers.

Belt-Drive Blowers
After fifteen years, the Tempest Belt-Drive blower is still the best for fire department applications. Offering the stability, durability, and reliability that today’s fire departments require, the Tempest Belt-Drive is the “Cadillac” of PPV blowers.

• The belt-drive design allows the motor to be set lower in the chassis thereby lowering the center of gravity.
• The belt-drive system helps to absorb engine vibration, which prevents the blower from “walking”.
• The bow-frame design makes the blower easy to carry and lift.
• The impeller jackshaft eliminates stress on the engine shaft, extending engine life.
• The belt-and pulley system allows the blade RPM to be tuned to match the horsepower and torque of the engine.
• Due to reduced airflow blockage, airflow from the face of the blower is smoother and more controllable allowing more effective PPV.

For the best combination of performance, durability, and stability, choose a belt-drive.

Direct-Drive Blowers
Tempest Direct-Drive blowers are designed to provide the best value for fire and industrial applications. The direct-drive design allows for a smaller package and a lighter weight unit. Vibration problems that are common to most direct-drive blowers have been virtually eliminated due to the use of higher quality, four cycle gas engines, more precisely balanced and engineered impellers and vibration absorbing, spring loaded rear “feet”.
Available in sizes from 16” to 27”, Tempest has a direct-drive blower to meet your specific needs.

Electric Blowers
Tempest offers the most complete line of electric blowers for Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) and Negative Pressure Ventilation (NPV). Built on the same platform that made the Tempest direct-drive blowers so successful, the electric blowers are powerful, durable, and versatile.

• No exhaust emissions, which can collect Carbon Monoxide inside the structure that you are trying to ventilate.
• Never needs an “oil change” or have gas go bad while sitting in storage.
• Designed to start and run off a standard residential 115V, 20Amp receptacle without tripping the circuit breaker.
• Designed to be mobile.
• Power supply is readily available at most work sites.
• One horse motor is more economical.
