Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Keep in mind I have 208 single phase 200 amp power in the shop. I like the "semi quietness" of these compressors. Anything I should look at? I looked at screw compressors but most are 3 phase and the single phase ones seem underpowered in CFM.
Ok great advice. I really would like a screw compressor but will have to look into 3 phase. If that's not an option a single phase 7.5 hp screw puts out about 20 cfm compared to a 7.5 hp piston at 26 cfm. Do you guys think the screw would be a better choice still? The press I believe requires mid 20s to mid 30s running full bore which we will never run all heads at full speed.
Yeah that's why I was looking at the quietist pistons I could find. What does running a 3 phase converter consist of and cost?
