Anyone tell me what this compressor from the US is?

[flanajb]

As you know I posted a thread regarding a quiet compressor which will power a gun for spraying mortar. Now the company in the US who make the gun also sell compressors. The web page is below

http://www.benron.com/gal_air_compressor.html

Down near the bottom of the page they have a machine with no tank, quite small and yet has an amazing spec for a 240v machine

The actual spec reads


Continuous air delivery to the hopper will eliminate cfm drop as it
happens with regular air compressors when the tank drains from air.


The most compact compressor will fit in any small car, no need for
large storage space.


240v 50HZ electric motor.


About 70 lb.


Tankless air compressor for maximum 20 cfm at free flow.

Turn 2800 RPM.


Built in air cooler.


0-100psi avjustable pressure valve.


Warranty 2-year limited.

I am keen to understand the type of compressor this is to see whether such a thing exists here in the UK

Thanks

Hello Flanajb,

Hydrovane compressors do not need a reservoir. http://www.hydrovane.co.uk/about/

They just look like flat twin horizontally apposed piston compressor they will be continuous run dont expect them to be quiet though,
and the MAX cfm will be at zero pressure IMO
they will be no good for spraying even though they say they have an air cooler the moisture will still be in the hoses.
IT HAS TO BE.

I'd say rather than a hydrovane, just look for screw compressors. The hydrovane's have a sliding seal rotor, but you'll find a better selection of screw compressor which are more like a Eaton supercharger.

I've got a little petrol drive Kaiser cfm screw compressor and the actual pump itself is tiny maybe half a shoebox, it's the rest and engine that add all the bulk!

The moisture is not an issue as this is for spraying mortar so no problem with that. I think you are most likely correct that they will be noisy.
