Brumby Pumps - Electric Compressors

Electric compressors can be simple. They can be just a motor and compressor mounted on a base and joined by a belt, although a tank and regulator are ok as well. The silent compressors with a head either side of the motor, that are becoming popular may also be well suited. We recommend to have the compressor run at around 800 to 1000rpm for quiet running and long life. This can be done where necessary by changing the belt pulley on the electric motor. Use a steel pulley on the motor, as aluminium pulleys tend to wear. However, any compressor set-up will work. We recommend that you don`t run a fast revving compressor for long periods of time, but short intervals
