Low amp draw, balanced airflow characteristics and maximum velocity of 2700 FPM are what propel the
Phoenix to rise above the competition.

The unique 1/3 horsepower design of the Phoenix Centrifugal Air Mover, coupled with a two-speed switch,
allows the restoration technician to deliver the most airflow using the fewest amps.

Maximum amp draw on high speed is 2.8 amps. This drops to a mere 2.4 amps on low speed. It is now
possible to fit as many as four Phoenix Centrifugal Air Movers onto a typical 15 amp household circuit.
The Phoenix CAM is lightweight, stackable, has a power indicator lamp, large three-position switch, and
superior cord management.

The Phoenix housing is durable, washable, and chemical resistant. It features multiple operating positions
allowing it to be angled up from horizontal to 45° and 90°.
