I have two silent compressors. One is the silentaire 50-24-val, the other is another brand (not sur who the mfg is). The silentaire is brand new. The other one I've had for about a year. I've had lots of issues with it. It seems to be consuming massive quanties of oil. I'm getting alot of oil and other liquid(?) in the air tank, regulators and filters.
My questions are
Is it normal for these machines to consume 24oz of oil in 4-5 months?
How often do you change or add oil to your compressors? I'm running them at least 3-4 hours per day 5-6 days a week, with some 8-10 hour sessions of stone setting and engraving.
The silentaire I have not had long enough to have a problem. All these issues have been with the other machine.
