Understanding how much pressure your air compressor needs is vital for ensuring efficient and effective operations. Here’s a quick guide to help you determine the right pressure for your application.
Know Your Equipment Requirements
Each tool or machine you’re using has specific pressure requirements, typically measured in PSI or Bar. For instance:
- Pneumatic drills may require 90 PSI.
- PET bottling lines often need pressures of 26-27 Bar (PET bottling) or 33-34 Bar (Hot-filling bottling). We check the actual pressure gauge at the blowing machine during operation.
Factor in System Losses
Pressure drops naturally occur due to:
- Long piping runs.
- Filters, dryers, or other accessories.
It’s essential to account for these losses by adding a margin (typically 10–15%) to the required pressure.
Don’t Overestimate
Operating at higher pressures than needed can:
- Increase energy consumption.
- Lead to premature wear on your compressor.
By optimizing your system for the exact pressure requirements, you can save energy and extend the life of your equipment.
