adamg Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Does anyone use a pneumatic agitator? I've been given specs of running at 23cfm @ 40psi. All the compressors I see are rated at 90 or 125 psi. How do I figure out what works for a lower PSI? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackRabbitDistillery Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Most stationary shop compressors will give you the pressure and CFM your looking for. If you have a compressor regulated down to 100 PSI with 25 feet of 1/2" line with 2 - 3 90" you will have around 23 - 25 CFM. You can use the link that Denver posted to get an idea of the type of compressor you need. I would recommend shopping around. You can go larger and then use a regulator with flow control to adjust your pressure and flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamg Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Thanks for all the great information! I also talked with someone at my supplier who showed me I am not going to ever run at that high of CFM because it would be 1400 RPM for the agitator. It turns out I only need CFM in the mid-teens. So that means a compressor for 1k not 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
