Loosefill insulation blowing machine with remote control assembly

A machine for distributing loosefill insulation from a package of compressed loosefill insulation material, the machine comprising:

• a chute having an inlet end and an outlet end, the inlet end configured to receive compressed loosefill insulation material;
• a shredding chamber configured to receive the compressed loosefill insulation material from the outlet end of the chute, the shredding chamber including a plurality of shredders configured to shred and pick apart the loosefill insulation material, the plurality of shredders being driven by an electric motor having a rotation speed;
• a discharge mechanism mounted to receive the loosefill insulation material exiting the shredding chamber, the discharge mechanism configured to distribute the loosefill insulation material into an airstream;
• a blower configured to provide the airstream flowing through the discharge mechanism, the blower being driven by a blower motor that is distinct from the electric motor, the blower have a rotational speed that defines the volume and the velocity of the airstream;
• and
• a remote control assembly configured to communicate with the machine such that the density of the loosefill insulation material is adjusted in a location remote from the machine by adjusting the rotational speed of the electric motor driving the plurality of shredders and the blower motor driving the blower.
