Air Compressor Question

By BlueStarScreenP... on Jul. 04, 2011

I am looking into getting an automatic press that takes 13scfm.

I am looking at a compressor and chiller combo that pushes 15cfm at 175psi

My compressor will be about 100' away from my press.

Will this one be big enough to run it?

i dont know if you lose too much by running the lines so far.

thanks for any help

Most presses run at 100 psi... When you lower the psi the cfm goes up!! Sounds like you have a winner here, but a compressor guru may jump in and correct me.....:D
