Compressors

@lightning what is current price including vat for the SIP 200 litre compressor?

£520. We’re the only ones in the country that stock the red professional ones with the steel guard etc. Most do the cheaper spec one usually black.

I'd be looking one to run an autosmart tornado gun if you are familiar with them & also ratchet for wheel nuts etc would 200litre be needed?

Better with it. You save very little stepping down to a 150 or 100 in the pro range.

Hi Simon @lightning whats the current situation with compressors you guys have? My current SIP one is going well but I'm needing more power and capacity these days so I'm starting to shop around for a new one. Have an ABAC or another SIP in mind. probably go around a 150l and 14-18cfm 3hp single phase. Would go bigger but don't think I could fit the tank under the bench

Would be lost without my SIP compressor now, even if it’s just using the blow snout to clean the ride on mower after every cut or drying off the motorbike after it’s washed. It was definitely a great buy.

I must change the oil in the pump again, now that I see this thread.

What oil do you have to use in these?

What oil do you have to use in these?

I bought SAE40 compressor oil, though it may be pump specific. I’m sure @lightning could advise more.

 

[lightning]

Yeah its pump specific but will probably be sae30 or 40. Not the same as sae30 that goes in a lawnmower however.

@lightning do you guys sell just the pump off a compressor?, i bought a second hand compressor (sherry and son) and wrecked the pump trying to fix it

Yeah we should have, it would be in the electrical parts section I reckon they’re 135+ ish depending on size.
