The E-20 will be perfect for your situation. Easy to set up operate and maintain. A 20kw should supply sufficient power for your E-20 compressor and acc. You dont need a real big compressor We have a 10.5 scfm@ 90 that works fine with a 2 tip gap gun. We don't use pneumatic pumps though, we use pressure tanks.I can tell you though that the compressor even works very well with our pneumatic foam plane. |

What is a 2 tip gap gun? How much pressure do you run to your pressure tanks. And what is a foam plane. Sorry new here tryin to take in all I can. Do 20kw generators run on gas. Also do you need air dryers. |

A gusmer Gap gun with a #2 mixing chamber. 30 psi. A plane used to flush stud cavities, Look for a diesel unit, and yes an air dryer is a good idea it is imperative to keep the A-side dry . You dont want the nasty crystals forming. |

E-10 is a great repair machine. Too small for real production. Diesel is a better generator-lasts longer and runs more efficiently. Don't short your self on air. I attended a FE school in 1986. It was a good experience. gcw |

Will the graco fusion with the stud wall attachment work fine. Also is the E-20 enough to do a pole barn or quanset. Live is farm country so their definetley could be some big pole barn type jobs. And how many gallons does your pressure tanks hold. I was also wondering how you measure a job. Is it in board ft. , or cubic feet. I assume you measure in a 3 dim area. And how far will a set of foam go board ft., or cubic feet. |

"E-10 is a great repair machine. Too small for real production." i concur... Diesel is a better generator-lasts longer and runs more efficiently. Don't short your self on air. and i concur again... output = productivity..buy the largest machine you can afford,,it is tough to go back,,and resale will bite you if you dont get a few years out of the unit... good sourse for generators... www.gopower.com ask for juancarlos... i bid by board ft sprayed space,,then provide the customer with some possible options (this marvelous product affords a myriad of application possibilities)..ie: building envelope (3/4-1"), R-13,R-19,R-25 and so on... yield depends on product used and other variables.. i just use 4000 brd ft/kit for 1.9 or 2.0 foams (yes i yield better but this gives me a safety fluff) i use 15,000 brd ft/kit for open cell... highho highho its off to the home show we go... have a great weekend and lets keep the dialoge comeing...foam good.... |

Call Frank Bien at Polymer Processing about the Heated Raider plural machine, 407-880-8739 or visit www.polyproco.com. I know Frank and his equipment is the best, quietest, an simplest on the market. You can hear the spray gun over the Raider even when your standing right next to it spraying, awesome. |
