This invention relates generally to sprayed insulation application
systems, and more particularly to systems that utilizes a sole power
source to directly or indirectly drive the system's multiple components
independent of the location of a power-take-off. In one embodiment of the
invention, the system utilizing a sole power source comprises at least
one power-take-off operably associated with the power source. An
insulation blower and a hydraulic drive are operably associated with the
at least one power-take-off. An electrical generator and a vacuum fan are
operably associated with the hydraulic drive, with at least one control
regulating the operable association of the generator and the vacuum fan
with the hydraulic drive. In another embodiment of the invention, the
hydraulic drive is operably associated with the power-take-off, with the
generator, vacuum fan and insulation blower operably associated with the
hydraulic drive. The electrical generator, driven by the generator
hydraulic motor in fluid communication with the hydraulic drive,
preferably provides electrical energy to the scrubber, and to the at
least one liquid heater and/or the electrically powered lift, if utilized
within the system, via electrical conduits. A pump may be optionally
driven by the hydraulic drive or energized by the generator.
