Snow Blower

Snow Blowers are used to blow snow off of sidewalks and driveways. Snow blowers can generally be divided into two classes. Single stage and two stage snow blowers.

Single-stage Snow Blowers use a single high-speed impeller to both move the snow into the machine and force it out the discharge chute. The impeller is usually in the form of two or more curved plastic paddles that move snow towards the centerline of the machine where the discharge chute is located. Single-stage snow blowers usually are light duty machines.

By comparison, two-stage snow blowers have one or more low-speed metal augers that break up the snow and move it into a separate high-speed impeller. The impeller blows or projects the snow out the discharge chute with considerable force. All but the lightest-duty snow throwers are typically two-stage machines.
