Hello,
I just bought a Freedom 6 color 8 station. I have years of experience with the press but the place I used to work at had 3 machines and 2 really big compressors. I know the manufacturer air compressor requirements are 7.5 hp compressor Im not sure on the scfms 23?
Well I dont really have enough amps in the barn to support that size of a compressor and flash and dryer...etc. Has anyone on here ran that press successfully on a smaller air compressor. Say a 5 hp 80 gallon 2 stage. It provides 17.9 scfms? is that enough or will the compressor literally run constantly?
I know another shop that runs a 8/10 station Javelin press on a 60 gallon kobalt compressor and he says it runs constantly. I realize that if im on a large run, hundreds of shirts that the compressor probably wont keep up but on smaller runs 60-100 shirts will it be ok?
any info is appreciated.
Thanks!
