KAESER Air Compressor & Smart Pipe Installation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2022
- We have successfully completed our new Kaeser shop air system in the new shop. I worked directly with Kaeser Compressors and Air Power Services to help me come up with the best system for my needs and wants. I wanted to go with one of their rotary screw compressors so they recommended the 5HP Air Tower plus the Kaeser Smart Pipe Plus compressed air piping with an additional 120 gallon auxiliary storage tank. The order of the equipment and installation was all handled by Air Power Services of Pensacola and they did a very professional job. Unfortunately my compressor is still being manufactured at the time of the install but Air Power Services offered to install one of their own units temporarily until my Air Tower is delivered. We'll follow up with another video once my unit is delivered.

I swear by a Kaeser air compressor, I've got a little 1.5hp portable unit I use ALL the time. I love that thing, it's been rode hard and put away wet but is still kicking. Loud as all-get-out, but has never let me down. Best $175 I ever spent. I bought it from a yard sale years ago and don't know how long they had it before me, but I haven't had that first problem with it.
So exciting to see your new shop come together! Looking forward to seeing all your machines churning out work pieces.
Great choice. I maintained a 25 hp and a 40 hp Kaeser for 25 years. Tough as nails. Maintenance is key to making them last. I love the engineering of Kaeser. They are absolutely anal about tolerances in their builds. Exactly what you want!
I held a Journeyman Gasfitter card for 25 years and must say that the piping job looks excellent! Very nicely done. good to see craftsmanship these days
I installed one of those compressors on a truck years back, loved the quietness with the sound enclosure
I've been working with Kaeser products for over 5 years now. Great machines!
One of my customers has three big Kaeser compressors and dryers, one for each of the CNC machine clusters and the third for the final assembly and finishing lines. Nice compressors.
Great to see the air system installed even with the temp compressor now waiting for all the various machines and systems to be completed.
They make great stuff, we had a much larger version in an medical electronics facility I worked at, I don’t think we ever had a lack of air, always thought that blue tube just looked amazing… I believe there were 6 of one of their larger compressors tied together running probably 2 miles of pipe, was a really impressive setup for general use…
Totally just WOW... Smart piping system & hardly any noise air compressor WOW & AWESOME. Can't wait to see the whole shop running & making chips fly 👏👊👏
Wow, your workshop is looking pretty sweet now with the air system and the CNC there. Nice work!
I feel excited for you! Can only imagine knowing your plans are coming together above and beyond! 👏 congrats Adam
Man, its awesome to see how happy and proud you are about all this! Have came a long way since you started making videos. I think you should be proud that these companies like what you do so much as to want to work with you on this stuff! I would be prod if that was me for sure. All the best to you and Abby, from Canada!
Shop is coming together great! Very slick and professional looking air install. Will serve you well.
You mean the museum?
Almost open to the public!
Hi Adam, very nice compressor and plumbing. I would like to share my experience with piping. I had a shop lay out like yours with the office inside, I also laid the air line along the top edge of the office. The problem I had later was I could not slide a pallet on to top office, also when using a ladder I had to be very careful not to trip over the plumbing. So I ended up moving the piping along the outside wall to keep the top deck open.
I enjoy watching and learning tips from you, thank you for your time.
100% on point If he's going to use the roof for storage area. If not, they are easily assessable for maintenance and additions.
Top Dog air system Adam. The rotary screw is so quiet! It's a thing of beauty. No expense is spared in this shop so far. You have to. be loving it.
You're really stepping up in the world man. You didn't even bother with the low medium end systems. You went full blown Cadillac of Air compressors.
That's great. Congrats. The KAESER head quarter is super close to where i was born and raised in Germany. My uncle works there as an electrician. Enjoy the German perfectionism.
So happy for you Adam, all the hard work is starting to pay off. 👍
That pipe all around the perimeter on top of the office seems to have made putting stuff up there a little more challenging.
You and Kaeser did an excellent presentation of their system in this and the other video. A good basic overview of air systems in general, as well. :)
Man, that is a sweet system. I worked on diesel powered screw compressors for years in the construction industry. Cheers from a long time sub.
Now that you have a 'safety railing' around the outer edges of the office roof, you can run a robotic vacuum cleaner up there to prevent the typical dust buildup if you care.
Lighten up Francis
@@MadmanJimbo I don't even know what you mean. Your comment seems non sequitur.
Robotic vacuum cleaners don’t need a rail, they wouldn’t fall off anyway.
@@richardwigley Yes. I'd forgotten that they have edge sensors. In Adam's shop he'd have redundant vacuum safety.
Kaeser tech here, the air tower you’re getting is a real good piece of machinery, great for a shop like yours!
Kaeser tech as well. I agree
Adam, the new shop is stunning ! I love the cleanliness, all the new equipment and the layout is well thought out. AC and that big ass fan... lol... Congrats Man, I'm so proud and happy for you. The place is awesome. I'd love to work in a shop so well equipped!
Very Nice, looking really good. I have a kaiser and all I can say is they are really good. Owned it for almost 9 years and really no issues at all. Smart pipe is really nice as well
I really love these screw type compressors... with a good drier that's the way to go. If you want to paint and use a lot of air, esp. with several people at the shop (which may not be your concern) usually the air distribution hose needs to be quite large, say 1" internal diameter or more, so that one does not pull all the air from the others as there is quite a significant pressure drop along smaller hoses...
Man that is fantastic Adam sounds like a window fan. You can hear yourself think. I really look forward to your video
Killer air system. Seems all so technical, but when it WORKS, you never have to think about it again. Just connect where and when you need.
That's the beauty of a well designed air system. What this looks like it very much is. 1" that's some massive delivery.
and SO QUEIT! o0 What a dream. This isn't even the final form either? I didn't know about this technology. This is amazing.
Very nice system for sure. I used Transair piping and fittings that looks almost identical to the SmartPipe being aluminum tube same metric sizes. Mine has been in service for 17 years now on a IR piston compressor 7.5 hp., however, I looped my system with no deadhead runs. Congratulations on a wise choice!
Kaeser's original smartpipe was made by Transair. The Smartpipe+ line is made by Eqofluids. I perfer the Eqofluids system. It tends to have fewer issues with leaks. The pipes are different sizes and not cross compatible.
Really nice air system, Its sounds like a furnace blower on low, very quite and easy on the ears.
Once the cooling fan kicks on, it's not so quiet. But, it's only momentary that it's on... At least that's my experience with larger (100HP installs).
@@IceBergGeo On the SX series the fan is mounted to the drive motor. That is as loud as it gets.
@@ibey01 nice. Something I didn't know. Always good to learn.
The larger applications are pretty neat though. At one installation, the customer put one into a closed room with a TEENY exhaust fan. Room went from about 70 to 130 in about 5 seconds when the cooling fan kicked in. Gotta love engineers, right? This was known that a compressor of this size was going in there.
EXCELLENT CHOICE!!!! I purchased same unit because of quietness, reliability, scew pump and delivery of clean air. 20 to 30% more expensive compare to others. Used for air feed for fuel cell and operating high end tools/equipment.
Excellent all in one compressor system. Makes me want to get one for the house except for the price tag 😆. Beautiful installation. Makes other compressors pale in comparison. And of course very nicely done video.
That's a nice and quiet air compressor. Years ago I worked for an outfit that made generator skids. One time we got an Atlas-Copco (SP?) air compressor in with a Deutz diesel . A twin screw unit. We fired her up and there was a 3 or 4 inch valve on it. When that was opened it blew air 100 feet across the lot. I walked into the air stream 30 or 40 feet away and the air blast almost kicked my legs from out under me.
great air system. glad to see the shop coming together
I missed not seeing the end of the video with you your dad & grandad but enjoyed seeing all your progress.
I think this is the 3rd flavor of smart pipe Ive come across now. Shop I recently left had got it for the building the renovated and man its so much faster, lighter, and easier to deal with compared to cast pipe. Don't need to take bust out the monster rigid pipe threader and don't need 2 guys for most of it. Just a portaband, tape measure, some chamfering tools and your drill.
Waiting to see you getting the first big job done in the new shop. Like your videos.
It's gonna be a long wait. This is a youtube studio, not a job shop.
We have 2 40hp Kaeser compressors and 3 large vacuums. We run the compressors cycling between the 2 every other day. Keep up with the yearly service and they will last for decades one of our vacuums is from 2001 and has been trouble free
@Javier Olivares Kaeser makes vacuum units too.
That's a good looking air system and should provide you all the air you need. Keep the air dry!
I just got this same compressor it’s great , nice and quiet and no more moisture in the air lines
Hey Adam great looking system ànd will work for years for you 👍
Maybe it's just the video but looks to me like you should have put that in one of the corners. To me it looks like it will be it the way of the CNC when you get ready to start running that as well .
Great Video 👍👍👍
It’s a great system and I agree the placement in my opinion was not the best.
What a great system! Screw compressors are really nifty.
You are taking it the next step. Good things happen to good people.
I forgot to comment on the last video. I am so glad to see you didn't cover=up such a failure. We all have them (I just messed up today pretty badly, but its part of the job). It will be very interesting seeing what you found out messed you up. Lead screw is all I can think of, but you know more.
Congrats! Should be a great system!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Doesn't look like you're going to have much room at the end of your lathe.
Awesome air system. Great install. Looks great. Thank you for.
Dude I know that you work your but off and I"m glad that you get ALL the Cool Tools !!!!!
I’d seriously consider moving that compressor away from your work area and run that mezzanine air line on the wall so you can still forklift stuff up onto the platform
First thing I thought of too
Makes a lot of sense!
He could even remote mount it on the mezzanine and run a switch down somewhere accessible. The location he chose is down right terrible.
looks like it is arranged to be in camera shots
@@Brian-mp6bg definitely looks like product placement
Vane/roots type air compressors have become some of the best kind of air compressors you can use in an indoor environment where sound output is a concern. Piston type air compressors have their place, but the rotary air compressors are just overall a better option when you have to have the air compressor inside a confined space.
your killin it bro. Good sh!t. You deserve it for sure. I can’t wait to see that American turn something BIG. Just wanted to say thank you for your contribution and all you have shared with us all thus far. I personally appreciate it.!! You inspired so many people to get into machining and rescue old iron. America owes you a thanks for that.
Hi Adam, Kaesser are brilliant compressors.
Well that video really blew...... ha...ha.... oh.
Cool system! I'm sure it'll suit your needs just fine!
Your setting your shop up to be a success, and with your talents, i know it will be.
I'm definitely jealous. I'm here with a clattering noisy piston compressor and fighting moisture problems. Hopefully we will finally have a home shop 80 gallon equivalent version one day. Great choice.
That was really nice of them to lend you a compressor wish my wood mill company would do this
When I bought my 21" lathe from my local dealer it ended up being back ordered for 6 months. They lent me a brand new (but slightly smaller) version of the lathe I ordered. They paid to rig it in and out as well. They are good people. Ken
Adam is having a new toy. Congratulations. Enjoy it.
We have three of them that used to be inside and let me tell you just move it outside literally in a shed or something the amount of heat ours puts out is worth the price of moving them outside
A 5 horsepower compressor will not place that much thermal load on his a/c. Besides, a nice, new, compressor sitting outside makes it a target for thieves and Kaeser is one of the most desired compressors around.
We have 2 40hp 9,800 btu heat output compressors and 3 vacuums that put out 89,000. Put them in a room in new addition.... let me tell you the climate controll people fucked up the calculations on the air flow required. We ended up with a sauna
Doesn't need to be outside. Just build an enclosure around it against the exterior wall, have an intake on the wall near the floor, and an exhaust fan at the top. Now nobody can steal it.
@@sp1nrx Wish my work went with Kaeser. We flushed money down the drain on Atlas Copcos that turned out to be gaaaaaaaarbage hot steaming garbage. Now we're back on a new Gardner Denver, our last trio of them went over well overall...
@@sp1nrx easy fix, just run a duct to exhaust the heat, with a small return for the fresh air, in the winter just let the hot air be recover to heat the room.
Wow, what a fantastic mancave to play in.
That’s awesome very nice system and way quieter than a normal pump I guess it runs a little after it reaches pressure to clean out the air drier of any water I’m guessing that is going to be nice addition to your shop thanks for sharing
The motor keeps running for a bit for 2 reasons. It is more energy efficient for it to idle a little while rather than stop and immediately restart. also the oil pressure is dictated by the air pressure in the separator tank. If the unit shuts off with 100 psi in the separator tank some oil will come out of the air filter. Idle pressure is 15-18 psi.
That is a super air system, it's quiet and functional. I however precieve a potential problem. The air line you have run around the office should of been installed on the vertical surface and not on the top. The reason I feel this is important is because if you were wanting to use the top of the offices as a storage or some other use the piping is in danger of being disturbed or damaged. Just a thought...
I enjoyed this video nice content and presentation, polished and informative 👍
you should consider putting the compressor up next to the tank.... looks like a good spot for it floor space is precious
Exactly my thougts and find a way to get the hot air directly out of the room. But it is a very professionel system.
It's product placement for the compressor, so you see it in every video.
Congratulations on purchasing a top of the line compressed air system from Kaeser including their piping system. I suggest a refrigerant dryer to produce a -40 degree F. internal dew point to keep your shop air dry in your humid climate. This air will eliminate any internal condensation inside future pneumatic control and assembly pistons you may add to your shop especially in the automated machinery. From an old plant engineer.
The Kaeser Aircenter series and Airtower have dryers built in to the package. They provide a 40 degree dew point.
@@ibey01 Thank you Chris for the information on the compressed air dew point temperature. I just wanted Adam to check any new equipment he is purchasing that requires compressed air to check the dew point requirements, There are other types of dryers available also if required. I specified Kaeser Compresser
Regardless of brand. Screw compressors are definitely the best bang for your buck. Well worth the investment over piston any day.
Particularly for a RUclipsr, where compressor noise can ruin the original audio.
Real similar to my Quincy QGS5 i love screw compressors they are so quiet .
You went and built my dream garage! I am so jealous
Really starting to take shape, really nice looking and fully equipped shop really happy for you Adam!
lt is always very good to see the man with the BIG HAPPY SMILE WOW👀..😁..That KAESER air system looks really good...Happy for you
Adam 🙏 Ans thanks very much.....Shoe🇺🇸
oh they are quiet and run so efficient we have this system in a shop i work at
Your Shop Looks Great Congratulations hello from Australia
Kaeser is good stuff, installed a few of them my self.
Very cool Adam thanks for sharing
The space is starting to feel very cluttered. Any reason why the compressor had to go there? Seems like it will really be in the way
"I've been working with Kaeser"
A cynical person might take that to mean he got a good deal but part of that was they want it to be in the background shots of as many future videos as possible.
It'd be hard to pick a worse place for it otherwise, maybe infront of a door? Out in the open in the yard where someone could steal it?
@@robertlees2065 I didn’t think of it that way. That would have been a deal breaker for me for sure. I would never sacrifice the functionality of my shop over have a “deal”
@@DIYManiacJohnP Well it is only speculation on my part but Adam is a smart guy and I really don't think he'd choose there of all places in any other situation, look at the positioning of the air receiver too, I would have put that in the far back corner so in the event it fell over it wouldn't be going over the edge, where it is looks like classic product placement.
Fair play to him though, years of making videos for youtube appear to be getting him so good deals most would love to get but I imagine it'll be mere hours into actually using those lathes and he'll want it moving to a more conventional spot of the shop, when he eventually gets moved into there properly anyway.
The product placement is getting to be ridiculous - that's why the compressor is in the middle of the shop, where no one else would put it - so you can see it in every video. This is a youtube studio, not a job shop. Which is fine, if that's what you want. Not for me.
I'm really happy to see the flag already on the wall ,exited about all the updates ,thank you Adam.
Nice looking shop.
Kaesers are great! We had 2 x 55kw that did 90,000 hrs before the wet ends got a bit too loose.
That’s a awesome system!
The compressor appears to impede good work flow in that bay. Hope the actual one is smaller.
Not sure what the plan is (in the end) but I would think the compressor would have been better in the corner where the large fan is currently located with the tank located immediately above. (Use some dead tree carcass to build a stand above the compressor).
Fly a pipe over the garage door to get to the right side (looking out at the garage door.
Product Placement. This is a youtube studio.
Poppycock on stilts.
I have an Aircenter 7.5 at my shop. Has been running great for 5 years. Only thing worth knowing is if it starts to vibrate more than it should it might have got a build up of dust in the fan that cools the system. Ours Is in the back of our welding shop and I pull off the fan and clean it out every couple of months.
Adam, shop really looks great!

I have a 7 1/2 hp screw type air compressor and air drier. Piped the shop with copper as it is easier to work into small spaces, it won’t rust, and is very durable. However copper is expensive. You will love your new system. OK here it goes - I would have put the compressor up with the tank if videos are going to continue to be a big part of your shop life. Any extra noise is a distraction and it just doesn’t need to be crowding your other equipment. The piping on the top of the office was the simplest and cheapest way to go but it makes this space very hard to use for storage. I park my scissor lift next to my loft with a small removable staircase to the platform of the lift and then use it as an elevator to access my storage in the loft. I know your intending to be here just a short time but? So happy to see you get all the new equipment!
The compressor is just temporary until the final unit can be delivered. Then of course the office booth would need to be able to carry the unit. But yeah I put mine into the neighbouring room into a corner as well.
It's product placement, that's why the compressor is in the middle of the shop, where no one else would put it - so you can see it in every video.
@@andrewterry8092 that very well could be the reason😢. It’s the devil you need to pay for free stuff. If that is the case it will detract from every video he makes in that corner of the shop. I believe that this type of compressor must be running constantly over longer times to avoid maintenance problems due to water in the oil at least that is the case with my compressor. In Adom’s shop a piston compressor would be better for the intermittent air he will need but then the compressor needs to be outside due to noise. Either way, an air drier, auto drains and oil and air filters are a must for clean dry air which the Kaeser has.
@@bruceanderson9461 He could have got a silenced piston compressor, that's what I got for my one man shop at the start of this year after coming to the conclusion that a screw compressor or Hydrovane would have been a bad fit for me, compared to the same sized normal piston compressor it wasn't cheap but it is significantly quieter, but I don't think Kaeser make any like that.
Definitely feel some envy at the quality and quantity of cool gear...today I dropped almost $700 on some good quality but simple equipment for my basement home shop (a vise, t-nut clamp set, outfeed roller, and drill bit sharpener). Feeling pretty poor right now. And it's nothing like this!
I'm jealous. 😁 Nice air set up.
Awesome, nice and quiet.
As a Biomedical field technician I can attest to the quality build and purity of air that Kaeser is able to produce within the medical and dental industries. It is second to none in my opinion. Inexpensive it is not, but you do get what you pay for...
Adam, i not really trying to get nosey., but, man alive, you have had to spend a ton of money already getting the shop to it's current state, AND you've got more machines coming.
but, i've yet to see you take in any work in this new shop.
i dunno how much your rent is, nor what your payments might be, nor am i asking,
but it looks to me like if you don't get busy soon, you're gonna be in trouble.
'course, on the other hand, you may already be a multi millionaire and money just don't matter.
at any rate, i HOPE you do well and have great success.
i wish you only the best.
keep on keepin' on my friend.
At the beginning of the video (or if you refresh the page mid stream) you'll notice in the upper left 'includes paid promotion'. A good number of the large ticket item videos (the Miltonic's lathe, Big Ass Fan, AC units, etc) are all paid promotions in some capacity. Adam is rather nebulas on the details (if they were provided at no cost) but I think it is safe to assume they are either free, or at a very reduced cost in exchange for exposer on his channel. I imagen these type of deals are good for the manufacturer as they can give him something with a sticker price of $6K and only be out what it costs to manufacture (say $3K). He's clearly not machining enough parts to pay for any of this stuff, at least at the moment, and has transitioned into a content creator more so than solely a machining channel. Any items a content creator may receive as compensation in exchange for a review or exposer does have to be claimed as income for tax purposes. I'm not sure how that would work if part of the deal is that Miltonic's sells him a $50K lathe for $5K so he doesn't have to treat that $50K lathe as income and then pay tax on it.
Well, you didn't "try to get nosey", you succeeded!
Adam you definitely played the game right doing the youtube thing! Let them pay for it.
We have a 7.5 (?) hp kaiser at work in one of our buildings. It is quiet. We've had problems with it tripping out on some sort of over-temp alarm. Nobody has been able to fix it in several years. Apparently they don't like starting/stopping frequently...but are great for constant demand usage. I think our warranty will end this year and I'd be surprised if it doesn't get replaced. We have the door opened and 2 fans blowing on it constantly to keep the alarm at bay. It's likely less efficient than a traditional system because we keep the fans running 24/7 even though we only use air mon-fri 8-5.
Having said that, it's super easy to maintain every 3 months when we go through each building. And it is pretty quiet, even though we have it mounted in the mechanical room. The air dryer seems to be less of a nuisance than other facilities that need 'dry air'.
I think it will probably work pretty darn well for what you are using it for. But for an educational facility...we haven't been too happy.
We had the same problem with our 150hp compressor at work. We run ours 6:30-3:30 mon-fri, it's not a Kaeser but talking to the tech that came to service it its not uncommon for a compressor to be an indoor/outdoor model, and it was set to the wrong mode so it kept overheating and tripping the alarm.
Screw compressors are designed to run 100% duty cycle, a motor has limited starts an hour this is just general knowledge, the compressor is over sized or there's not enough storage volume, The cheapest solution is to add another air tank to reduce the number of starts an hour.
Ja Kaeser Schrauben Kompressoren laufen am besten die ganze zeit durch und müssen am bessten die An und Abluft nach Draussen gelegte Luftkanäle haben um eine gute Temperatur zu bekommen. Er braucht eine hohe Temperatur um das wasser im Öl los zu werden. Er darf aber nicht zu hoch gehen das der Alarm das system abschaltet. Das gleichgewicht ist nicht immer einfach aber er sollte prinzipiell in einer gelüfteten umgebung stehen. Ich hoffe Adam hat da nicht auch probleme mit da das öl der Drehbank den Luftfilterne des Kompressors nicht gefallen werden....
Hey Abom!
Badass shop!!!
😎
Kaeser is always a good choice! 👍
maybe in USA only.
Hello first and you made a very good decision to bring a Kaeser system into the workshop. I live in Germany and did courses at Kaeser a few years ago and built many facilities.
The screw compressers are very good and usually run very long and safe. Just please please and please see if he always has enough oil in the morning before work. If you have oil in the line, it can do not work properly in the compressor. Don't be surprised when he runs a little longer until it goes out because it needs the temperature to get rid of the water from the oil. I would also recommend that you install a water separator in front of the CNC system. I can deceive but is Din the tower really a real dryer installed ??? The pneumatic systems in the CNC will thank you to keep the water away from them. I think you have a high humidity with you. This will collect the compressor a lot of water. Keep the air kettle in the eye under the compressor and see if the air -powered water is working properly and whether the ball tap is open. There is also a button to start the emissions manually. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
Please think about the place where you set up the compressor. I also think he gets too warm in the corner
One more question Why didn't you invest the 20m pipeline to close the ring in the workshop? This has an extreme advantage because the air is distributed faster and more evenly. Ok I don't know what you are still planning and how much air you need where Wieschchnell, but if it is too little you could close the ring to improve it. Thank you for your videos that are very interesting and pass my boredom. Thanks
Great advice about the dryer, imho!
The aircenter system is a comprssor, dryer, and tank in a package. Another dryer should not be needed.
one of my customers had a massive kaeser compressor that was like the size of a car. High end stuff. We still haven't outgrown our old school 7.5hp quincy
what a cool shop
My shop has 2 of those compressors just without the tank mounted only use giant auxiliary tanks. They aren’t as quite as u hope they are haha. As well as they tend to blow fuses in the compressor all the time, we keep a stockpile of the fuses and replace them like 1-2 times a month, it’s a big fuse to. Kaiser guys gave us the fuses and told us that’s the only option haba
If there is consistent fuse blowing, then there is trouble somewhere. That is what fuses are for...."protecting" the equipment and wiring from overheating or short. Something is very wrong. "The only option"!!?? I would start getting professional electrical opinions - yesterday!!
@@paulcopeland9035 trust me! Kaesser repair techs and electrical guys have been here several times. They supplied us with the stock pile of fuses because it was the only option cuz they were stumped as well.
@@Lexking0695 ...It is not you who I don't trust! Something is very wrong and very dangerous there! Get some professional electrical people out there to give an independent opinion! Kaesser techs may know all about their product but your problem is much deeper. Please let us know how this turns out!
Almost bought a Kaeser for the brewery, but we’ve got a Quincy dealer that’s a little closer and were able to get better pricing. Either way, these screw compressors are awesome. I’ve got a 15hp that’s quieter than a vacuum cleaner
All the best with your biggest project yet with the new shop...boy, you've spent some dollars
I don't mean to be disrespectful, but why on earth would you put the compressor right out there in the middle of your MAIN work area?? You are going to HATE working around that thing. Compressors are almost always mounted up out of the way, or in another part of the shop away from the main work area, since they need no daily attention. As quiet as that thing is, why didn't you put it up on the mezzanine next to the aux tank?
Did you hear him explain that this is a temporary installation until his permanent unit comes in?
@@ellieprice363 I certainly did however I did not hear him say that the new one wasn't going to go in the exact same spot unless I missed something which is certainly possible
@@anthonyklein2944 With the convenience of the smart air piping system I suspect the unit may be moved more than once to find the best location.
Think about it for a minute. Don’t you think the company may want their product to be front and center instead of hidden? Many of you are so damn short sighted. They scratch his back, he scratches their back. That’s how a business relationship works.
@@grntitan1 I'm not discounting the point you have made about he's probably getting a discounted price in exchange for visibility however, what is short-sighted was be placing the machine literally right next to your right arm at the machine that you spend 85% of your time at in a machine shop. In fact the compressor actually covers up the last couple feet of the lathe bed, which in itself presents a safety hazard because you can't get away from large pieces. There are plenty of prominent locations in that small shop that would likely have satisfied any agreement
Very quiet, I'm jealous!
So we recently installed the same smart pipe system with a Kaeser sigma. I'd just caution that you be extra careful with your blow gun. Ours pumped some chunks of aluminum from the tube drilling out at 125psi. Good for me that I only got hit in the hand but it stings nasty.
