Does anyone know anything about this Compressor?

admin

I am looking at this air compressor for sale but I know nothing about it besides it being 3 phase. I can't find any info on psi or cfm. Anyone know anything?

Big oilless compressors are also used to supply breathing air. Both for supplied air respirators and for diving. The fact that it has a quick coupler directly on the tank is odd, though. If the air is used for a critical application like breathing air, it goes through a series of filters.Sent from my Lincoln Buzzbox using Tapatalk
Reply:Any way you can get a look at it in person? Should have a Mfg name on the plate on the motor. The HP rating is going to tell you a lot about how much air you can expect from it. Looks like it might be one of those "ultra quiet" air compressors. As a similar pump configuration to them, anyway.Sent from my Lincoln Buzzbox using Tapatalk

I just want something to operate air tools without running out of oomph. There is a big 3-phase 40cfm single piston compressor at my work not being used anymore that I have inquired about but if I ran that at my shop which is behind my house in a residential neighborhood my neighbors would kill me and then kill me again just to make sure. I have 3-phase electricity so that is no problem.
Reply:I’ll see how the sale goes. It’s an auction but I’ve placed an offer. The novalty of it and history at such a stupid cheap price makes me want to buy it just for that.Gear: Esab power compact 205 with tbi industries torch         BOC Smootharc 185dc tig         Miller Syncrowave 350LX

Reply:Looking at the Gast website at what they sell the 2hp pumps they sell which is what this is the ones with 4 pumps like this seem to be the higher flow options of what they sell. Quiet is definitely appealing.Gear: Esab power compact 205 with tbi industries torch         BOC Smootharc 185dc tig         Miller Syncrowave 350LX
