Mobile compressed air supply

[caprinut]

I got to blow out vertical holes in concrete, I'll use a series of pressurised tyres as a supply what do I need to connect them to a euro fitted air gun.

If I’ve understood your post correctly; remove the male euro airline fitting and replace with a tyre pump adapter.

An ordinary tyre pump adaptor has to be held on and sometimes manipulated on the tyre nipple is there an adaptor which can be left on and is short?

Use the open-ended clip-on type.

Had look on Amazon plenty of them all Chinese been caught out before when I bought something not similar had American threads, they don't say what they are.

PCL ones are good quality,
You can buy them as spare parts, under £20
Might have one here somewhere if you can't buy direct from pcl

Google: truck tyre valve extension.

I use a CO2 bottle with a regulator.

Screw on or clip on tyre inflater fittings, splice a hose on with an air gun nozzle on t’other end.

I should like to know what kind of CO2 bottle you use and how is it refillable with compressed air?

Is this just for resin anchors?

Using tyres sounds hard work.

We used to use an air pig made from a gas cylinder for inflating tyres at my friend's yard, handy thing to have. A co2 cylinder with a regulator you could blow them out with co2.

Pretty much any type of bottle will do.
Just make sure it's rated higher than the output on your compressor.

Then just make/buy an adapter to connect whatever size airline fittings you use to the bottle.
Quick-connect female onto the bottle is the usual way. Then make up a male-male hose to connect to the compressor.
Plug in, open bottle valve, run compressor until it cuts out, close bottle valve, unplug.

If it's just blowing out holes for resin a cordless compressor might be a lot easier.
I've got one that has a high-volume function (for inflating airbeds etc) that is more than adequate for blowing dust out of holes.
Also got a small leaf-blower type thing that came with an attachment for clearing holes, runs for hours on a single battery.
Various compressors with tanks are available cordless as well and that's the way I'd go if I already had the batteries

I use an old 35kg gas cylinder as a portable tyre inflator, pumped up to 120psi there is enough wind in them to put 30psi into a telehandler tyre, takes seconds vs the 12v air pumps which take a few minutes.

Why would I fill it with compressed air sir ?

 

[brightspark]

i have this portable also use it inline for air cooling when blasting with diffrent c couplings and fittings. use it for blowing tires up and for the compressed air nail gun

The battery compressors are much slower but most of the decent ones turn off when they reach a set pressure so you can just leave them working while you do something else.
Plus they only weigh a couple of kg and fit under a seat.
You can also fit a strap to hang it on the wheel which saves having to coil up a muddy air line!

one of these are actually brilliant at sucking all the dust out of a drilled hole ready for chemfix,
dirt cheap and really handy, and you can get them in any battery flavour

it blows not sucks a foot pump with a hose and a gas welding blowpipe nozzle on the end works brilliantly. just make sure your not behind it with your face

It does both BS, just move the pipe to the inlet port.
