Question about air compressor
|
Hi! I`m new to this group!
I have this Sand Blasting Gun:

catalogId=3D10001&storeId=3D10051&productId=3D53101&langId=3D-1&parent_cate=
gory_rn=3D10565

And a 2 Horse power compressor that has a 6 gallon tank (25lts)
The problem is that i cant work for much time before I loose pressure.
Do you think I can solve this problem by getting a 100lts tank with the same
|
No. It will give you a little more time, but it will take even longer to
re-charge. There is no real substitute for the CFM you get from a larger
compressor. You are probably putting about 4 to 5 CFM into the tank, but
using a tool that takes out 11CFM.

engine?

Your compressor should have a rating plate showing CFM @ PSI .
Your blaster needs 11.5 avg. SCFM requirement at 90 PSI.
You are probably going to have a short cycle of blasting , then waiting
for the compressor to recharge.
I dont think a bigger tank will do much for you, the compressor pump is
the limiting factor.
The bigger tank will take longer to charge , but would then give you a
longer work time but then a longer recharge time between work periods.
