with that size of compressor and size blast pot, 50 feet would be easily handled. The only real problem you run into with added length is pressure drop in the hose...when you're running 100 to 125 PSI, a pound or two isn't too much concern. My smaller pot has 25 foot of hose and it's just...
Stretch, you're right about the pipe, I forgot about the I.D. being a bit smaller. From the chart I saw, the 3/8 nozzle would still use about 211 and 238 CFM at 90 and 100 PSI. That's still a ton of air!!!
Grainger should have the dead man valves if you can't find them anywhere else.
looks like you beat me to the info I was asking about.
You'll want to post you question in "The Deuce" section located here The Deuce - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite
First off welcome to the site.
I'm going to try to say this as politely as possible, this is the totally wrong thread for that question. Plus there is very little information in your question, the biggest piece of missing information would be...what kind of truck???
There are specific areas...
I was doing some research on my blaster. I have an older model ALC blaster, made right here in the good old USA. It's a 250# blaster, meaning it holds 250 pounds of media for those who didn't already know. Using the measurements in Stretches pictures, the one you guys have is probably a 350#...
I've used both the cheap testers from china freight and just pulled the coil with off of my car's and crank the engine while having a volt meter hooked up, which simulated a good load. The tester that the interstate dealer in my town has is way more advanced, it will tell you if you have a bad...
Gimp, that bigger head that I posted a picture of, is rated at I think 45 CFM at 175 PSI, of course more at a lower pressure because it doesn't have to work as hard (that's from the manufacturers website). The one on my compressor is just like it only a different manufacturer. It does not have...
not my mower deck...lol It's a 6 foot 3 point trail mower. It took my about an hour to do the deck when I did it. But that was a lot of waiting for the compressor to build back up. I didn't want to overheat the compressor, so I would blast until the compressor came on and continue for a...
I can't find any information about the manufacturer of the compressor head other than they make a lot of high pressure compressors, 3000 PSI. But I did find a parts breakdown from another manufacturer "Saylor Beall". The head is not identical, but it's as close as I can find to what I have.
The one I have and am using now is a single cylinder, single stage probably 12 to 15 CFM at 90 PSI with a 30 gallon tank.
The monster sitting waiting on an engine is a 2 cylinder 2 stage beast at almost 50 CFM at 175 PSI with a 120 gallon tank. It had a 10 HP 3 phase motor on it when I picked...
nopics
That sounds really interesting. I would like to see the gaskets that came with the kits and the one you made. I have a pack that needs a rebuild so I have a spare
Here are a few pictures of mine. The tank is a little different, but they seem to be about the same size. I haven't installed the air/water separator yet because my compressor does a pretty good job of keeping the moisture out. But after I get the shop build and get an engine on the monster...
well, I did a little more work on the trailer today. I took off the air unloader, and took it apart and cleaned it, and took off the cylinder that actuates the throttle and cleaned it as well. I also cleaned the throttle cable and de-greased the throttle linkages to they work a little more...
Armada,
I have a complete set of fiberglass ones that I'm going to put on as soon as I can get some fiberglass headracks. My wooden seats and racks can be stripped down for parts if you need anything.
ok, that was a cool video, but I don't get it. You had a remote for the tilt gate/ramp for your trailer. The truck rolled pretty easily on it's own. Why didn't you...
1. use the air compressor in your video to pump up your air tanks so you had good brakes
2 lay the remote up on the truck...
