Can anyone recommend a compressor?

[QUOTE="tuyere, post: 369455, member: 26916"] Yeah, the PM7 is a tremendous air hog. We're running a PM7, an imescore 350i, Two carbon printers, and like 10 Rolands simultaneously, and we bought an absolutely gigantic screw compressor with a massively-oversized air receiver to meet and exceed the lab's needs going into the future... but the air lines installed in the building themselves are now the bottleneck. Trying to feed that entire lab with a long run of iirc 1.25" pipe is a real challenge, and if we add anything else that's air-hungry, we'll either need to lay down a second parallel air line to supplement the first, or replace the current line with something appropriately girthy. The supply is adequate, but we get severe pressure drop because of the line length + draw at the business end, enough pressure drop that we're running the system at 130psi and it's coming out the other end around 100. Trips the PM7's low pressure alert sometimes. [/QUOTE]
