Air for cleaning?

[Splatterer]

Hi, does anyone have a practical system to produce compressed air for cleaning things up?
I've used 'air dusters' at work, but they seem to leave a residue.
I don't really want to buy a compressor just for a few bits of cleaning out.

Is there any sort of pressure vessel I could just pump up with say a cycle pump that would provide a cleaning air blast?

If so what are they called and how do I find them.

Many thanks.

Your can get little capsules of co2 fairly cheap.pence.
then you can get a small bicycle tyre inflator that uses them

I probably misread, what I suggested would only be economical for electric stuff, on a small scale

use a car foot pump with an oxy acetylene blowpipe nozzle on the end of hose i use diffrent size blowpipes on the end of an airline

Whip the bottle and reg off your mig and use that

How about a 12V Car tyre inflator? The come with a selection of nozzles, maybe that would produce enough air? If not, inflate a small inner tube as a transfer receptacle?

When I was at school I used to borrow my dads car's spare wheel, pump the tyre up to fifty odd psi and use it to run my air brush. The wheel was back in the boot by the time he came home form work, I don't think he ever found out.

Thanks for the replies, I think I'll keep an eye out for an Aldi or Lidl compressor as it's bound to find some jobs to do apart from blowing air out of things.
Cheers.
