Description of a ½ HP Air Blower for Bouncy / Inflatable Use

What It Is / What It Does

• This blower is designed for continuous use to keep inflatables like bouncy castles or tube‑men (air dancers) inflated.

• With a ½ HP (horsepower) motor, it provides a balanced airflow: strong enough to maintain good inflation, but relatively energy-efficient for smaller to medium inflatables.

• It usually runs at a single or limited number of speeds, providing a consistent stream of air into the base of the inflatable.

• The blower connects to the inflatable via a wide outlet / flared mouth (to match the vinyl / fabric intake of the inflatable).

What Is a Bouncy Blower

A bouncy blower is a high-speed, high-airflow fan (air mover) designed specifically to inflate and maintain pressure in inflatables like bounce houses, bouncy castles, slides, obstacle courses, etc. Key things about these blowers:

• They typically run continuously while the inflatable is in use — they keep pumping air in to maintain shape and firmness.

• They need to deliver a high volume of air (high CFM or m³/h) to compensate for leaks / openings.

• They are designed for durability, often with safety grills, thermal protection, and robust motors.

• Many are designed to be portable (carry handles) because rental / party businesses move them around.

Important Specifications to Look For

When choosing a blower for a bouncy castle / inflatable, pay attention to:

1. Power / Motor

   • Measured in watts (W) or horsepower (HP). More power = more airflow (typically).

   • Example blowers go from ~450 W (0.6 HP) to 1,100 W or more.

2. Airflow (CFM or m³/h)

   • This determines how much air the blower can push. Higher airflow is needed for larger or leakier inflatables.

3. Pressure

   • Blow pressure matters: strong blowers can maintain pressure even with some back‑pressure from the inflatable.

4. Housing / Material

   • Many blower casings are made from flame-retardant plastic (e.g., polypropylene) or strong metal.

   • Inlet / outlet grills to prevent objects / fingers from going in.

5. Noise

   • These blowers can be loud — consider decibel ratings if that is a concern.

6. Certifications & Safety

   • CE, UL, TUV, IP ratings, thermal overload protection — important if you’re using it for commercial or safety‑sensitive use.

7. Power Cord

   • Length of cable, and current rating. For continuous use, make sure you have a reliable, safe power supply.

8. Portability

   • Weight, handle design, and stackability matter if you’re transporting for events.
