Subject: Diesel rotary compressors for blowing combines off.



What CFM at what PSI does your compressor run? I am renting a Sullair today to blow my combine off. It had 1.4 hours on it when I started so I imagine it's in decent shape.

It's a 185 CFM unit with a Cat engine. It has a tag that says it's rated for 185 CFM at 100 psi and it has a max pressure of 150 PSI.

I'm currently going through 50' of 1" hose, then an 18" threaded 3/4" pipe, then a 3/4" 1/4 turn ball valve, then another 48" of threaded pipe, then a 3/4" to 3/8" reducer.

The compressor is only running at 80 PSI when I'm blowing. Is this expected or is it adjusted wrong? Thanks.
