How does a garden vacuum cleaner work?
The main working part of any blower is the engine. It makes a centrifugal fan work, which, depending on the direction of rotation, can either blow out or suck air in. If the “air blowing” mode works, the debris is collected in a heap with an air jet from a long nozzle. In the “suction” mode, the garbage is collected in a special bag with simultaneous grinding.
What are blowers
Depending on the power, manual and self-propelled blowers are distinguished. The first can work from the mains or from a battery. The latter usually run on gasoline and are very powerful, but produce a lot of noise.
This garden tool is produced by many companies, but one of the market leaders is the Japanese company Makita. It has existed for more than 100 years, and has been on the market since 1935. At the moment, products assembled at a factory in China enter our market.
