Deuce Blasting truck

[jrlee5]

I'm wondering if anybody knows the capacity of the standard compressor on a deuce and what kind of sustained pressure it can supply. I'm looking to run an airline from my gladhand to supply air to a blasting tank for mobile sandblasting. Any specs would be a great help. Trying to decide if I'll be working the pump too hard and if it'd be better to run a pump off of the p.t.o or something along those lines or if i can get away with utilizing the standard pump to fill an accessory tank mounted in the back of the truck to supply air. Thanks for any help

What search terms did you use?

With a simple search for "CFM", I found this thread, in about 2 minutes.

i do sandblasting with a 1250 cfm compressor, i think the guys are right , the deuce is around 7 cfm, youll need to go back to the drawing board with this.

You won't just work the pump too hard, you won't get any work done. The air compressor on trucks is like the compressors they make to run nail guns. High pressure, low volume. For painting and blasting you need a high volume air compressor.

So what they are saying is that it can be done you just need 178 pumps.

Or, by a Deuce Compressor truck, the Leroi back there is about 750 CFM, IIRC. JT

You would go broke using a 6 cylinder diesel engine to run a sandblasting rig with a tiny air compressor....even using alternative fuel.

There are big compressors suitable for sand blasting on GL occasionally.
