I have an opportunity with an account hauling cement but I need to have a 12 inch blower installed, trying to understand what the 12" means. Are the tuthill T855 or T1055 considered 12" blowers??
What is a 12" pneumatic blower??

You might have to contact them. They are in Springfield MO.
You also might have to open your engine up to support the blower. We ran the hell out of ours in our day. -
I don't understand why you would need a 12 inch blower for cement, unless you're blowing it halfway across the country.
I'm not sure what the inch size deal is all about, but I'm guessing it's the length of the impeller inside the blower. Meaning a 12 inch would make more CFM's than a 10 inch. But I'm just guessing on this.
We run the Tuthill T1055. I don't know what size that equates to, I'm guessing 10" but idk. Never had any issues. I know we have one Gardner Denver 12" blower and it's way overkill for what we do.
Check out the Pneumatic Tanker thread on here. Lots of knowledgeable people over there.Brettj3876 Thanks this. -

Have a GD T5CDL12 possible for sale if need one, but we run 9" on all our trucks for cement/flyash. 12 refers to rotor length in inches.
