Compressor for Zund

[jasonx]

What is everyone running? Looking something fairly quiet.

If you want quiet get a screw compressor. I have one on the shop wish list.

Of course you could just by a cheapie and put it outside in a shed.(just noticed where you live)

I'd need a 40 metre air line to put it outside Compressor is going inside thats why I want it as quiet as possible.

Rotary screw then. They are rated for continuous duty and will make all the air your shop will ever need. There are units made without a receiver(tank) that have a modulator to control output. You turn them on in the morning and when there is a call for air the modulator closes. Otherwise it sits in idle mode.

Can you tell I've researched this?

Looking this is what I'm going to purchase including the dryer:

200L tank and meets the needs of the Zund. Look good?

Looks real nice, I'm jealous. Might be a re-badged Ingersoll-Rand which are top drawer. With the enclosure it should be nearly silent.

is that big enough? Why not get a bigger tank, so the thing doesn't have to run all the time?

Industrial screws are meant to run 24/7/365 only stopping for routine air filter and oil changes. They have no receivers(tanks). Output is modulated or throttled dependent on demand.

Another cool thing about a modulated screw is they are at full output the moment you turn them on. Flip the switch and get to work.

Like I said one of those bad boys is on my wish list.

We've got a local supplier that can supply this unit to us. The Zund requires 300-400L per minute. So no matter what size tank you're going to have the unit is going to run when using any tools that need air.
