Nice! a chugger. Not one of them ear ringing high RPM units. Just rebuilt my old 10hp Devilbiss, worth every penny.
Dont need one here, might get a cup of water a year.Al, whatcha using for an air dryer?
shew, its terrible here, always need water drained. i bet your the same down there. i should prolly look into some kind of dryer. they pricey.Al, whatcha using for an air dryer?
Not much for the home shop. I ran the line high on the wall and have a drop loop with a drain at the bottom and a tp filter on it. When I had the shop it was a screw compressor with a refrigerant dryer.Al, whatcha using for an air dryer?
You need a rotary. The last one I bought went to the asphalt plant to replace a 30 horse 2 stage piston compressor. You can hardly tell its running .An argument could be made that the power savings alone will pay for a rotary, never mind the maintenance .they will usually go 70000 hrs plus with no repairs and I know where one is in an aerospace facility with over 150000that has not been apart.I wish I had a screw compressor.
I have a 10hp 80 gallon and a 5hp 60 gallon in tandem. They were running 8 mins on and 4 mins off. I had a compressor guy come out a little over a year ago to look at what I’m doing because I needed a upgrade.
He claimed we are right on the verge of where a rotary would pay off.
Then I got the quote on a rotary……. We got a 15hp 120 gal instead.
We are installing 4 more robots this week. I know next week I’m going to be kicking myself in the nuts for not biting the bullet and getting a rotary and being done with it.
If nothing else, just for the fact of not having to hear reciprocating compressor’s run.
