AIR

[getterdone]

Got a question that one of my mining buddies ask me, I think I know the answer,
but better to ask the guys who have more knowledge.
He has a new dredge with air for one, he wants to know would he have enough air
off the single compressor for 2 people ? It is a new Keene 4 inch dredge, pretty sure
it would have a T-90 compressor. Maybe the could take turns breathing. What is the right
answer old wise ones.

t-80 can be made to work as long as your not 2-250lb air hogs. You'll need a brass t to run to 2 reserve tanks, 1 for each dredger, airline off each . Then drill out the cloth air filter holes on the body to appx. twice their size. You can also get a smaller pulley(1/2-1") to increase RPM BUT not any smaller as too much heat and wears out the internal diaphragm on the air plenum. Adjust regulators in accordance to elevation and good to go. There was a video on rebuilding a t-80 on the old GO site,worth viewing as very informative on t-80 op-John
