I have a general question that I can't find answers to : can I use a commercial compressor that will provide pressure for all the tools that I have in my wearhouse and use the same compressor for my spray gun (using appropriate filters and valves)? If so, is it a cost efficient way ? Or 2 different compressor would be better?
Thanks!
Every pneumatic sander, spray gun, etc will have a requirement for a certain cfm (air volume) rate at a given pressure.
If you buy a compressor big enough to support your greediest tool, then the normal ones like air nailers will be fine.
You will probably need to install pressure regulators in places to lower the psi for certain tools.
The answer would be yes you can use a standard industrial air compressor the same as any other compressor.
There may be an advantage to using an industrial compressor as many times there are special water separators not only the simple sintered Bronze/ separation bowl but many times a system that chills the air to pull the moisture out of the air and achieve a dew point well below the simple separation filters.
As long as your system has the capacity it will probably be cleaner and dryer air (at least if the facility is using the air in air logic or control valves).
