SPR
So I have read other threads about choosing a compressor. I’m looking to upgrade my current 80 gal single stage. The rings are leaking and I’m getting massive amounts of oil blow by. It also doesn’t keep up with my blast cabinet. At any rate, I was all set on a two stage 80 gallon but considering working in my garage, the lower dB’s of a scroll is enticing. It seems like unless you go massive on them though, the cfm’s suffer. I have also heard that maintenance on the head is costly. If I go piston it will have a factory mounted after cooler and I will pair it with a stand alone chiller. My goal is to eliminate as best as possible oil/water vapor in my lines. I have a motorguard toilet paper filter and desiccant filter of the tank and then a 3 stage sharpe filter setup and then a motorguard oil filter in the booth.
So my question to the group who have way more knowledge than me, help me spend some money. My budget is max $4,500.00 I need first and foremost volume for the blast cabinet and spraying with hvlp’s and clean air for the hvlp’s and my gema powder coating setup. Quiet is an added bonus. Has to be single phase. Do I go scroll/screw or piston? I have narrowed the piston choices down to a Ingersoll Rand Type 30 7.5-HP 80-Gallon or a Quincy Quincy QT MAX 7.5-HP 80-Gallon. Either would be matched with a chiller.
Thoughts, ideas or recommendations are sincerely appreciated.
