Title: air compressor question
Post by: RomanKatz on June 25, 2020, 04:40:26 AM

Hello engineers,

I have a question regarding air compressor.

 My air compressor is rotary and produces 2.3 m3/min air under 8 bar pressure, something like 81 CFM, 116 PSI.

We need to buy 4 drum dumpers. Air consumption of a dumper is:
1.rotary air(80 CFM,80 PSI).
2.reciprocating air (15 CFM,100 PSI).

SO I assume that my compressor can handle option 1 only but I would like to ask your opinion or insight. Can option 2 work?

Thanks very much
