K-9 III Muffler & Heavy Duty Filter (HDF) Bundle

The K-9 III Muffler and Heavy Duty Filter (HDF) Bundle is designed for professional groomers who want to significantly reduce operating noise while maintaining the powerful airflow performance of the K-9 III Dryer Series. Because the K-9 III uses dual motors, it requires two mufflers and two Heavy Duty Filters to properly reduce sound output.

By installing each muffler inside a Heavy Duty Filter, groomers can noticeably lower the sound levels produced by high-velocity dryers. This helps create a more comfortable grooming environment for both pets and staff. The system is especially helpful in busy salons, mobile grooming vans, and enclosed workspaces where managing dryer noise can make a meaningful difference.

Professional Noise Reduction

When installed correctly, the muffler and HDF system can reduce dryer noise by up to 13 decibels. This reduction helps lower stress for noise-sensitive pets while also creating a more comfortable daily working environment for groomers.

Performance remains largely unaffected. Airflow reduction is minimal at approximately 2 to 3 percent, and operating temperature increases by only about 2°F, allowing groomers to maintain the drying power and efficiency they expect from the K-9 III.

Compatibility and Installation

The muffler must be installed inside the Heavy Duty Filter (HDF) to function properly. The HDF ensures proper airflow management and correct fitment for the muffler.

The K-9 III Dryer Series requires two Heavy Duty Filters and two Mufflers, with one set installed on each motor intake. Installing both sets ensures balanced airflow and proper sound reduction for the dual-motor system.
