Temporary use of a portable air compressor for blower service

Posted in: , on 29. Mar. 2004 - 01:38

Greetings,

I would like to use a portable air compressor for air supply to unload a small crushed and screened mineral from an pnuematic tanker, into an open truck trailer or dump truck.

The air compressor will of course be regulated to operate between 5 to 10 PSI at all times.

The reason I ask this is because I wish to offer my customers the ability to unload their respective containers from a remote location with out conventional access-electricity or rotary blower- am I doing it the hard way? Before I forget these containers have all the regulators , relief valves etc.

Or does someone out there manufacture a small gas or diesel powered Dresser Roots type blower that is driven by a small gas or diesel engine that is the size of a small portable generator?,

and could I ask for the brand name reseller of this product if it exists? I have worked with small rotary lobe blowers in vacuum service and they are very easy to handle and repair.

My third and most likely option will be to offer my customers the use of a small diesel engine-developing 10 Horse power to power a Roots type blower.

thank you all in advance,

lzaharis
