HOW TO CHOOSE A COMPRESSOR
The size of the tank and the air production per. minute is absolutely crucial to what tools your compressor can pull. You must also decide whether the compressor should be oil-free or not. This has implications for maintenance. If the compressor is to be used continuously, 2 cylinders will be an advantage. Is there access to 400V, or should the compressor be mobile, because then 230V would be an advantage. The sound level can be a significant factor if you have to work with the compressor daily, Güde can supply compressors with a sound level down to LWA 90 dB, usually the sound level for compressors is 95 dB to 97 dB SMALL COMPRESSOR If you just need to pump footballs, check tire pressure on the car or blow chips off the workshop table, you do not need a compressor with a large container volume. Here you can, for example, choose a 24 liter model, where you can actually also shoot with pins and nails, because the compressor can "breathe" between the shots. 24 liter models can typically make about 180 liters of air per minute. BETWEEN COMPRESSOR When it comes to tasks that require a little more effort, go up in container volume. With the 50 liter models, for example, you have significantly more "air in stock", and they can drive both impact wrench, chisel hammer and the larger nail guns. Tools that have to run continuously and for a long time, such as an eccentric grinder, can easily lose their breath here. And the same goes for the paint spray gun if it does not get breaks to fill up the tank. 50 liter models can typically make approx. 400 liters per minute. LARGE COMPRESSOR Do you want to be absolutely sure that you can work continuously, and with very great power, the 90 or 100 liter models are the thing. When they are so large, they can operate all compressed air tools on the market, because they typically deliver over 500 liters of air per minute. |
