Pneumatic Press Air Compressor help

[DanEC33]

Hello,

I have ordered the Adkins Omega 750 Pneumatic Press and it will be delivered and fitted in a few weeks. The only thing I need now is a compressor, I am currently looking at the Bambi BB24V Silent Compressor. I was told this unit will be fine for the press but I have a few questions:

• Is 24 litre air sufficient and what can I expect during everyday operation
• Would using this compressor with the above press be considered light use
• Do I need to worry about oil carry over with this unit

Thanks for the help!

Size will be more than enough. The tank size only regulates how often the motor kicks in. A wide format press is unlikely to be closed three or four times a minute (unlike a garment press), so the motor won't be constantly running (duty cycle), which in turn wil make it low use. Most compressors come with a duty cycle of 50%, which means the motor should only be running for 30 mins per hour.

Oil shouldn't be a problem on a day to day basis when in use, but you are supposed to open the vent valve periodicaly to release the build up of condensation in the tank. This might have some oil in it.

Bambi compressors are 'super silent' and run at about 40db, so they can be used facing the customers. Most compressors run at 95db and need to be in another room or in a sound proof box.
There are some 'halfway house' silent compressors that run at 60 db, which is comfortable enough to work alongside with out ear protection, at about half the price of the Bambi range.

That would be fine. We have the same press and use https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/quiet-run-compressor-4/ which looks same specs.

Thanks for the reply.

I plan on using the press to sublimating flags thus I would guess that I would be doing 100 seconds between items. 40 seconds for the actual pressing of the item, 60 to unload and load new item- will the compressor be happy running at this pace?

More than happy. Once the tank is full the motor will only be running for a few minutes an hour.
