Greetings,
Boss is looking to upgrade our 1962 Speedaire shop compressor at work. Currently it is a Speedaire 80 Gallon, 3 HP motor, Ingersol Rand type 30 pump 242N3. Typical shop needs, filling tires running some air tools, nothing really extreme. Just one tech (me) using air most of the time. We had an electrician stop by the other day and check out our electric system, He wrote down that a "208V, single phase, max 16 amps" would work on our system.
Does anyone have any recommendations for such compressor? Brands etc. Also Splash lubricated vs. pressure lubricated. Pros and cons of such. Compressor is in a heated shop. The compressor we have works fine but boss just wants to upgrade before an issue arises. The compressor needs to be vertical.
Seems like the electrical at 208V is the biggest factor here. I found a Speedaire from Grainger #35WC40. I was told Cambell Hausfield makes these. Any thoughts on this unit?
Thanks for any recommendations or feedback.
