Aldi Air Compressor....???

[Steven Forster]

Anybody know if this Aldi Compressor will be good enough with 8 bar of pressure to clean the crap off your buggies.....???

Hard to know with a budget tool, I have a lidl mitre saw that should be brilliant for cutting various angles, except that the saw is tweaked somewhere making it cut everything slightly off.:mad:

You may find it doesn't have the pressure to blast dirt off in that way, as it's only a little one, and the Clarke 1hp compressor we used to have when I worked at a go kart track was never able to blow dirt off things, ( TBH the boss man fiddling with things that didn't need fiddling with may have caused some power loss though:thumbdown:)

If it were me I would stick to leaving the buggy caked until I get home, then clean it.

I use one of these and it works well but I had to buy a thinner nozzle gun (£15) which delivers higher pressure fine air jet and more cleaning.

This link is just to show what it is but they are available for less money if you shop around.

I just bought one of those datavac dusters off amazon. Haven't tried it yet, but I've seen plenty of TC guys using one at Cotswolds RC. It packs a lot of power for something relatively small & is easier than lugging my compressor around.

we got one of these for the club a while back, awesome bit of kit as long as you have the space to store it and access to electricity

I have one. The thing is ideal.

it may have 8 bar of pressure, but zero cfm you will need a small nozzle to gear any pressure to blow off the crap

a football nozzle should sort it I'll be having a look at one tomorrow

Have you tried it on a petrol generator running one outdoors ?
