The choice of the capacity of a portable petrol compressor depends on the specific task being performed. Here are the recommendations based on the available capacities of the devices:
Capacity of approx. 2 m³/min
A compressor with a capacity of approx. 2 m³/min is suitable for smaller jobs, such as powering pneumatic tools (e.g. screwdrivers, hammers) in small and medium-sized workshops or for simple construction work. It will also work well in jobs that require mobility, such as field repairs.
Capacity of approx. 3.8 m³/min
A compressor with a capacity of 3.8 m³/min is ideal for medium-sized construction sites where pneumatic tools such as saws, impact hammers or drills are used. It can also be used to power several tools at the same time. It is a good choice for jobs that require more power than in the case of devices with a lower capacity.
Capacity approx. 5.3 m³/min
A compressor with a capacity of 5.3 m³/min will work well on larger construction sites, where there is a need for continuous supply of compressed air to pneumatic tools, work machines (e.g. chainsaw, drill). It will also work well when working on demanding tasks in more difficult terrain conditions.
Capacity approx. 7.6 m³/min
Compressors with a capacity of 7.6 m³/min are an excellent choice for large construction projects, such as road or industrial work. They enable powering heavy tools and machines, and their capacity ensures a continuous supply of air, which is necessary for effective work in demanding conditions.
Capacity approx. 10 m³/min
The highest efficiency, suitable for the most difficult construction, industrial and mining tasks, where huge amounts of compressed air are needed. Compressors with such capacity are ideal for operating large machines and for work requiring high power, such as drilling, cutting or working in difficult terrain conditions.
