Buy a dryer to go with your compressor. Compressed air traps a lot of water and you don't want that in your air lines on your P&P machines. Additionally, make sure you keep up with all the preventative maintenance and change out the filters as requir

How big a tank do you have at the compressor? Basically the bigger the better. You will still have the same duty cycle ratio but the compressor won't be cycling as fast. Hopefully someone here knows what a good size would be. And when you say "kic

everything Stephen said + it is really important that you have correct diameter pipes. If diameter is too small there will be a significant pressure drop in pipes (and machines have their consumption 100-500 NL - normal liters / min) and pipe system

Sean, If the machines use more than the spec'd 8CFM, are not leaking and work fine otherwise, I wouldn't disqualify them on that basis alone. You may be exceeding the duty cycle rating of your compressor and not necessarily the volume. If Samsung

No idea, could be a weird translation error, but its certainly something I have seen . For an FLX they just ask for this "5-6 bar, clean, dry, oil free, filtered 2 µm, connection diameter 8 mm", 40litre/min Personally I would go with a mo

The reason for recommendations about refrigerated vs. desiccant dryers commonly comes down to the ISO class of compressed air they deliver. Refrigerated dryers are most commonly used in ISO Class 4 compressed air, and can't dry the air enough to reac

A cheap piston compressor (like you might use in a garage) should be rated such that it has ~50% duty cycle, you don't want it running continuously. They are very affordable but do switch on and off between two essentially hardwired setpoints. The b

You want a big enough storage tank to smooth pressure. Figure out what size pipes you need and go a size bigger. Make a loop of the pipes with shut offs. That way you can shut down any section and still have air to the rest of the air line. Run the p

Hi, We just purchased the above two machines and they're still in the trial period. We have problems with air requirements of the above two machines. For example, Samsung CP45 is listed at 8 CFM only, but it will kick off the compressor (rated at
