Dinamitek presents the guide to choosing pneumatic tools

Pneumatic tools and compressors: a buying guide with Dinamitek

Pneumatic tools are an excellent alternative to motorized, electric, or battery-powered tools. They're significantly lighter and more maneuverable, and you'll notice the difference during longer jobs. Equally important is the long-term savings you'll achieve if you choose pneumatic tools, as their basic mechanics are so simple, making them less prone to breakdowns. The performance offered by pneumatic tools is very stable , so you'll achieve excellent results for your jobs. Beyond these advantages, it's important to remember the specifics of pneumatic tools: rapid pulse and impact rate, otherwise known as "higher-performance jobs."

To use a pneumatic tool, you need a good compressor . Let's look at what you need to consider when purchasing a compressor suitable for pneumatic tools.

The hose length must be sufficient to allow for easy use of the tools . The flow rate is affected by the diameter of the hose. Each tool recommends the optimal diameter.

A key parameter to check is the operating pressure expressed in bar: the tool's requirements must match the compressor's output. It's best to use a more powerful compressor than the tool requires . In general, you should never use equipment that exceeds its power or power limit, except for sporadic and short jobs. The most common, continuous, and routine jobs should always be performed with the machine underpowered. Returning to compressors and pneumatic tools, the compatibility of the connections is also important, so as not to have to equip yourself with multiple different adapters. Compare the SMC rating written on the compressor and that indicated on the tools you intend to use to avoid making mistakes.

If you need to use two tools simultaneously, you should choose a compressor with a double connection and a maximum flow rate (l/min) that exceeds the sum of the flow rates of the two tools by 30%. If the compressor has a pressure reducer, remember that lowering the pressure reduces the range. This reduces the range of the tools, including their sum, allowing you to use them even with a less powerful compressor.

Compressors are classified into macro categories : professional compressors, industrial compressors, compressors for domestic use, compressors for outdoor use.

• PROFESSIONAL COMPRESSOR
  Piston and tank models. These are bulky models. The movement of the pistons allows compressed air to be stored in the tank. Obviously, a powerful compressor requires a large tank; in the workshop, you'll need a model with a very bulky tank.
  The tank volume indicates the operating time . Once the tank is empty, the compressor motor restarts. A 50-liter tank is a good size.
  Piston compressors can be single-stage or two-stage. For continuous use, as required in industrial applications, other types of compressors should be considered; piston models are not suitable. Furthermore, industrial models are powered by 380-volt three-phase current, rather than the traditional 220-volt household supply. For these models, the larger tank corresponds to lower energy consumption .
  
  
• COMPRESSOR FOR HOME USE
  Compact yet powerful, tankless compressors. Instead of storing air, these compressors use the mechanical pressure of the air directly, operating continuously.
  
  
• COMPRESSOR FOR OUTDOOR USE
  For outdoor use, gasoline-powered compressors are recommended. Consider those who set up trade shows or work at events.
