Continuous blending-what equipment needed over PP

[UFG8R]

I have decided to purchase an Alkin W31 HD compressor with extra filtration to fill Nitrox. 10-12 tanks/week. LP85-HP119's.

1) Are these units initially set up for PP blending with more equipment needed for continuous? (such as a stik). Or do they come with everything needed for continuous blending?

Help appreciated.

Have a look at this thread, I think you'll find your answers there. This was just discussed a few days back.

Most compressors are set up to pump air out of the box, that is it. You mention that you bought extra filtration, assuming that it is enough filtration to produce oxygen compatable air you have the air to partial pressure blend with. You would still need all the plumbing, guages, etc to trans-fill from your oxygen and or helium supplies.
If you want to continous blend you will need to purchase or build a nitrox stick with all the appropriate sensors and plumbing. Unless you specifically purchased that with your compressor don't expect it to come with it.
Read some of the other threads on contious blending and get a copy of the Oxygen Hacker's Guide from Air Speed Press. This will give you a good over view of both processes.

Here we go..

There is a listner about a compressor choice... Make sure that you will get some discount for both purchase from Alkin.

Search.. There is a ton of info about the mixing stik. Even, I post my own picture here and there.
