PORTABLE AIR COMPRESSORS AROUND 175 CFM
Compressors in this airflow range can suit pneumatic tools, construction work, industrial maintenance and blasting applications.
The right choice depends on how much air your equipment uses, the pressure it needs and whether you’re running one tool or several together.
At CoolBlast, we’ll help you compare suitable petrol, diesel and electric compressors, including towable and skid-mounted configurations where available.
WHICH CFM COMPRESSOR DO I NEED?
Your compressor needs to deliver sufficient airflow at your actual working pressure. The headline CFM figure alone doesn’t tell you whether a machine will meet your requirements.
When comparing compressors, we look at:
Required airflow and operating pressure.
The tools or machinery you’ll be running.
Whether several tools will operate together.
Continuous or occasional use.
Portability and available power supply.
Aftercooler and moisture separator requirements.
Your budget and preferred delivery date.
Need a full 175 CFM?
We’ll check which machines deliver at least 175 CFM at your required pressure. If that means choosing a larger compressor, we’ll explain the options and costs.
Not sure what you need?
Send us your equipment details or a photo of its specification plate. We’ll help you work out the correct airflow and pressure.
