Sand blasting duty is hard on compressors due to the dust in the air. The dust gets into everything and clogs up cooling surfaces. When this happens the unit may overheat. Often this overheating causes varnishing inside the coolers, causing more overheating. If this has happened you may need a rebuild.

Best bet, always keep your compressor coolers clean and filter the ventilation air to remove dust.

I service the separator and changed the oil and filter. I’m trying to figure out how’s the unloader is supposed to work or how often it should cycle. It’s about 20 years old we sandblast and run 2 low flow powder coating guns. The past couple of years the compressor starts running hot in the summer time I’m not sure if the compressor is not running right. If we don’t blast it has no problem running hot. When the sump pressure goes up the temp goes up too..
Our company is Calder powder coaters.
Any advice would be useful.
