Hi all , new to the forum. I am up for a new compressor so i can run all my airtools nicely without the compressor screaming to keep up.
Thing is though i have a couple of 50L tanks without motors or pumps. I can pick up a 12cfm pumps reasonably cheap and they state suitesd to 3hp but.... not all 3hp motors run at the same rpm, so...i am putting the question out there.
Would it be possible to run 2 of the 12cfm pumps off the one 3hp motor IF the motor was of high rpm and the pulleys used ran the pumps just below max rpm so ease a little strain on the motor. I know it sounds odd but i would have a system producing 22-23cfm at the pumps, make use of my tanks and it would be cheaper than a new 16-18cfm from any shop.
Is it possible?
Thanks
