8AIR SYSTEMS - ContinuedCalculating Compressor SizeUse the air consumption chart in the ToolSchematic for each tool when calculating theoperating requirements for the tools. Paslodetools are designed to operate efficientlybetween 80 and 120 psi and should never beoperated at pressure greater than 120 psi.The air consumption chart will help you find thecorrect compressor size for your applicationthat will quickly replenish tool air pressure.To use the chart you will need to know howmany tools will be used and approximatelyhow many fasteners will be driven each minuteby each tool onthe line. Using the equation:Number of tools X average fasteners/minute/tool X 1.2 (safety factor) X air consumption(scfm) @ pressure* (psi) = scfm required.We can use the following example:10 tools X 30 fasteners/minute/tool X 1.2 X0.051scfm* (@100psi) = 18.36 scfm.*This number is found in the Air ConsumptionChartIn this example, using the air consumptionchart we find that a compressor providing atleast 19 scfm of air is required. Because incompressors approximately 1 hp is required toproduce 4 scfm, a compressor of at least 5 hpis required.Calculated Required PipingFor example, given a 20 hp electric compressorsupplying approximately 80 cfm of air at 120 psiand a main supply pipe length of 350 feet, we seeby the table the minimum main pipe inside diam-eter required for this application is 1-1/4 inch.Pneumatic System Maintenance- Be certain that:• Pneumatic fittings are tight and do not leak.and ensure that automatic draining systems areoperating correctly.• Air lines are cleared to prevent freezing,especially in winter.• Lubricator operation is checked regularly andensure it has an adequate supply of lubricant.(Paslode Part No. 403720)• Only regulated air is being used and that eachregulator is operating properly.
