hi

I bought a tuxing TXEDM043 (like the HPDAVV)


Seem build by

Shanghai Royal Machinery

A clone of bauer

I done a air testing

Pass the test without issue.

Paid with delivery less than 2500 usd
Delivery took around 2 week

Get this connector to fill bottle... don't work fine because of the little pin on the din. This kind of connector seem used in europe.
A lot of discution to get the correct connector

Blue cover are plastic, probably in iron for bauer?

Another strange thing was electricity.

A standard 120v usa outlet provide 15Amp, some 20Amp.

I had 10 AWG wire size. With a break 20Amp sometime breaker fail when compressor start (not after). With a 25 Amp no issue).
Wire of the compressor is huge

Filter, don't know if a bauer could fit

Around 25 min to fill 80ft cylinder (with 200 psi).
I use it mostly anyway to fill ccr cylinder.

Used less then 2 hours, I use actually mineral oil who was provided with compressor.

I'm checking to maybe switch to synthetic oil. Do i would need to clean all the compressor to do it?

In canada i found
MOBIL RARUS 827

otherwise,

in mineral oil
Jordair J-EP65 Oil

any suggestion to get oil anywere in canada? (would prefer quebec province)

I use a manual carbon monoxyde meter.
 
How do you like this unit?

3 hp is a lot to pull from a 120v plug.
I run my uttlis on 220v with a vfd, 3 HP
 
Did you try starting it with the bleeds open?

If the quality is decent and it can use Bauer parts that would be a really nice home machine.
 
Looks just like a (my) Bauer....

Curious the future. Looks interesting.
