Example of a Blue Diamond Liner compared to standard liner.

What Is the Blue Diamond Liner?

The Blue Diamond Liner is made from heat-treated, tempered, and precision-rolled alloy steel with a tensile strength of 200,000 psi and a hardness rating of 46 Rockwell C. This premium liner will outlast ordinary steel many times over, providing exceptional protection against the high-speed wear and abrasion that occurs during operation.

Key Specifications Comparison

Standard Steel Liner:

  • Tensile strength: 30,000 psi

  • Hardness rating: Under 20 Rockwell C

Blue Diamond Liner:

  • Tensile strength: 200,000 psi (over 6x stronger)

  • Hardness rating: 46 Rockwell C

  • Heat-treated and tempered

  • Precision-rolled alloy steel


When Is the Blue Diamond Liner Recommended?

This upgrade is particularly valuable for properties with:

  • Sandy soil

  • Gravel areas

  • Rocky terrain

  • Abrasive materials such as pine cones, acorns, or walnuts

  • Commercial use requirements

  • Large property maintenance needs


Expected Lifespan

While the Blue Diamond Liner substantially outlasts standard steel, its actual lifespan depends on several factors:

  • Frequency of use

  • Types of debris collected

  • Operating conditions

  • Terrain characteristics

Even with its superior durability, the Blue Diamond Liner can still experience wear and tear under extreme conditions, though at a much slower rate than standard steel.

Important Notes:

  • Must be ordered with new Cyclone Rake or Blower Replacement Kit

  • Not available as aftermarket upgrade

  • Professional installation required

Why It Matters

Lawn vacuums operate under extreme conditions, with debris moving at speeds up to 170 mph. The Blue Diamond Liner provides exceptional protection against this high-speed wear and abrasion, significantly extending the life of your equipment and providing peace of mind during operation.
