suggestions please for cleaning air system

Post by billphillips »

Well it looks like my compressor is leaking oil into my delivery system , can you suggest a way to clean my system piping
I have a torchmate 4x4 with a cutmaster 51 plasma unit, desicant drier mounted before the filters into the plasma unit. Is there anything out their that can flush the system, or do I have to pull something like a rag through the piping to remove the worst of it, I can disconnect all of my long runs (they are poly air lines)
All suggestions appreciated

thanks bill in red deer

A really good oil separator if it doesn't neck down your pressure and flow too much.

The crap is already all the way through the system, so Gotta do something to clean it out including the 60 gal compressor tank, thinking more of a non flammable degreaser or something that can be pumped and circulated through the system

denature alcohol soaked wipes blown through the air line then a good rinsing with denatured alcohol.
