Compressors
Power specification
When specifying the performance of compressors, it should be noted that most manufacturers specify the intake capacity. The effective usable air capacity of normal piston compressors is approx. 1/3 less than the stated intake capacity. This must be taken into account when selecting compressors for large DL tools (chipping hammers, impact wrenches). With high-quality compressors, such as the FAIE-Airprofi 700/850 models, the air is compressed in 2 stages, resulting in a significantly better efficiency.
Rotation Speed
Another important quality feature is the effective speed of the compressor (compressor unit). While the speed of many competitors is approx. 2800 rpm, FAIE compressors (Made in Austria) from the Airstar 300 model upwards are V-belt drive units with a speed of approx. 1400 rpm. This “slow” speed ensures a long service life and smooth running of the compressor.
