Ibrar Jabbar Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Just looking for some advice on Hydrovane compressors as I am looking at upgrading for the new unit. Basically want to know about reliability issues, service intervals, CFM ratings. Any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Pretty good kit these days Ibrar. Used to be crap oil was always emulsifying and dumping out onto the deck. Clarify. The units I had to fix were old and had been gouged by numerous numpties. Pretty much, low maintenance. Maintenance is normally a few seals to change infrequently. Oil is changed only if suspect condition. CFM to match your application really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Ah good, just what I was hoping, thanks Andy.

Tricky-Ricky Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Long time since i had one, but pretty reliable, never had a problem with mine, used for sandblasting think it was about 250cfm. Oh and just work out the total consumption of all the things your likely to run and add about 10-15%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
