So I managed to throw together the parts for a test run but capping has been inconsistent. My compressor is a direct drive 2.5hp 145FAD w/ 40L tank. I'm also using a double acting cylinder. Could either be a cause for low pressure? Maybe shorten my tubes? I get around 100 psi max on my...
In the Philippines, Stealthcruiser. Craft beers are still pretty new here and we only have a handful of active brewers but we're chugging along. Thanks guys, I think I'll take my chances with a cheap direct drive and hope it lasts a year or until I can get a quality belt-driven one. Oh, and...
I calculated for a 2" bore 2" stroke double acting cylinder at 3 cycles a minute. lol I'm not too confident with my math but yeah, it seems to be way below 1 CFM even at 20 cycles. Good compressors are hard to come by here, we mostly get cheap Chinese direct drive ones, usually with 2hp (peak...
Hey guys, first of all, amazing builds! Our old homemade bench capper just conked out and I've been inspired to build a pneumatic one to replace it. Have most of the components but I was wondering about the specs for the compressors you use. I tried calculating the CFM requirements for my...
