Air compressor unknown

[jason john]

Hi I'm just hoping somebody on here can tell anything about this Ingersoll Rand air compressor I have been given and it doesn't say what the CFM is any information would be gratefully appreciate

 

[julianf]

Most beefy 1ph units are about 14cfm, as that is about the most energy you can suck out of a 13a 240v socket...

I know this is a little vague, but, if it's at the chunkier end of the 1ph family, it will be around that.

3ph, and I'll have no comment.

what Hp is on the motor plate 3Hp is most for 13amp plug
if so could be 10 to 14 cfm

 

[Spark plug]

Looking at the size of the motor using the 50 litre recover for scale and the rather large looking pulley on the motor, I would guess closer to 10 than 14 cfm.

 

[jason john]

Hi all thanks for the quick replies I was hoping that it was 14cfm so I could sandblast some car parts like wishbone and things like that I have another picture for yous to look at maybe will help

 

[jason john]

And is there another way to make this compressor work for sand blasting I have another 50ltr tank with a silly cheap motor on it 120psi 8.1cfm 8bar

 

[Spark plug]

Ok, so the motor is 1.5hp, unfortunately that will probably mean 6-8cfm.

 

[jason john]

Not great news then I was given it as payment for a job as the guy said he used it to spray old classic cars and it said 16.5 psi on it so I thought it was better than my wee cheap one as it only has 120psi well looks like I was wrong so basically my we cheap one is actually better than this one

 

[jason john]

Sorry I made a mistake in that last message I ment it had 16.5bar not psi and mine cheap one was 8 bar

 

[jason john]

Could I put a 3hp motor on this air compressor

 

[carbon]

The model of these compressor is usually marked in this position


I don’t think the cfm is then listed on that but can help identify the machine

 

[jason john]

Can't find anything on Google on the model

 

[Wallace]

Link the two compressors together, what blasting kit do you have?

 

[Ton-up]

Looks like that motor has been changed. Ingersol rand wouldn't fit a chinese motor like that!

 

[carbon]

The pump on these are made by abac. I can’t find it this morning but there is a pdf that list dimensions for there pumps to help identify it

Looks like that motor has been changed. Ingersol rand wouldn't fit a chinese motor like that!

It says Made In Taiwan and its actually quite a good motor that !

Hi everyone thanks for the info I'm using a sandblasting tub just a gravity fed one with a normal blasting gun kinda like a air gun for blowing dust of stuff I'm thinking of getting a pressurised blasting pot I'm new to all this I have a general idea but just don't have the technical side of it I'm lost lol Google didn't help there's so many different answers to one question I was happy when I seen a forum for compressors and stuff the guy I got it of showed me the cars he sprayed with the compressor my wee compressor cuts out after 10 mins overheating I hope this one can run for longer I'm sure we will get to the bottom of this on the this forum thanks guys/girls

and it said 16.5 psi on it

That's the receiver test pressure.

 

[jason john]

Sorry to sound a bit stupid but what does the receiver test pressure mean

 

[Seadog]

All receivers are tested at a higher pressure than the rated pressure so that there is a margin of safety. My older IR compressor has a TP nearly double the rated pressure.
