Air Compressor to run Pneumatic Agitator

Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.
