Dang dude, that sounds just bleak. ;-)
I'm not even going to do the numbers, if you can drive the Haskel with a couple of horse power electric motor, I'll run it by Across at the Cannabis Cup this weekend, that's where this is going isn't it? Haskel only does pneumatic drive, check out their company history and what asset is being bought out over and over, it's the pneumatic tech.
It's the cost of doing business.
To fully service our 15hp atlas copco w/ refrigerated air dryer was about $750......$550 of that filters ect. This has now become another cost of operating but nothing compared to losing a day of production bc an Appion tr21 goes down.
The maintenence on the haskel can be done in house and should be part of any regular maintanence in a production facility
You are comparing compressor maintenance to the appion/tr21 breaking. Wait till you see the price tag/down time of a broken compressor. Our Ingersoll rand parts were a bit more and when you multiply that by 4 for quarterly service and do that with two compressors it gets expensive. We did pump rebuilds in-house however a hydraulics international rebuild could cost $800 depending on what needs to be replaced. That was just seals assuming pistons and barrels were fine. My point was lots of costs are involved. I think pneumatic is the best thing available currently but would embrace an electric pump. I personally try to keep my equipment that needs maintenance to a minimum.

Can someone explain in laymans terms how these pneumatic pumps work? How do you set one up? Where inline does the compressor go? How big of a compressor is needed? Anyone have recovery rate estimates? How are they compared to a Appion or cm-ep pump? I want to buy a haskel I think but need more info
Can anyone recommend a good compressor to use? I'm in the private sector so would probably only use a couple times per year. Thx
Thank you Dave! That's what I was looking for. Where can I order a ext420 pump from?
