I have tried to use the search function to the best of my ability but have come up with no real answer so I have decided to submit to the knowledge of the forum.
I am currently working in a very small start-up company where we digitize old family photos and we are using a compressor in order to help us with the dusting.
Right now we are using a very small Husky all-in-one unit (Oil Free) and we are seeing a good amount of water in the airflow and we have installed a water separator in the line. I know that this set-up will never be perfect.
The real deal I am working with here is when we move into our new office. I am going to be responsible for creating a new compressor set-up for multiple stations (We only have one station at the moment). My biggest question is what type of compressor / filter brands / types would people here suggest?
I know that we don't need a high pressure system,a single stage sounds like it would be fine, 90 PSI is the max we use, roughly 10 CFM would be alright and anywhere between a 10 gallon to 30 gallon tank would suffice (These are all just what I have come across in my research, I am open to different suggestions).
Really what I am looking for is the best combination of factors in order to reduce oil and water in the air stream while trying to steer away from descant filters. On the note of oil I would probably prefer to stay away from oil based systems merely to remove the complication of filtering out the oil but from what I have seen the better compressors all use oil (Atleast within my price range)
So any compressor or filter recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to keep the compressor between 500$-1000$. This was one I was looking at:
