How do I speed up my snowblower impeller?
A wider impeller spinning at the same speed as a smaller impeller will have a higher tip speed. Going to a larger pulley for the augers will increase that speed even more. The other thing to do is make sure the inside of your chute is nice and clean and smooth.
How does snowblower impeller work?
The engine of the snow blower is started either by a push button electric start, or a recoil start. A control lever/handle engages the auger which pulls snow into the auger housing, pushing it back towards the impeller (two stage). The spinning impeller, then shoots the snow out of the discharge chute.
How does a single stage snow blower work?
Single-stage snow blowers tackle light to moderate snow falls with ease and clear snow on your pathways and driveways all the way down to the pavement. The rubber auger combined with the power of the engine scoops up the snow and discharges it through the chute in a single motion – thus the name, Single-Stage.
