I purchased a Krendl 500 from a friend I know. It only ran 18 bags before I bought it. I have since ran 400-500 bags, and ran into some serious problems. Three of the bolts backed themselves right out of the shaft in the airlock, which caused one of the seal plates to break off inside my airlock (it only had one remaining bolt holding it in). I contacted Krendl and they told me htat there was nothing they could do for me because the machine was sold to a distributor three years ago. It has only had about three months of running time! I am very disappointed about the service and quality from Krendl in regards to this machine. I would not recommend this to anyone. The website reads that it can blow 700 lbs of fiberglass an hour, but it never even got over 500, and that was based on their exact specs. Maybe I just got a bad machine, but based on the performance of this one I will never buy another Krendl
