Hi!
I bought 1 month ago an IR compressor 2 stages from 1979, Type 30 model 242, tank capacity is 80 gallons (300 liters here ine France š ).
It needs 10 minutes to fill from 0 to 8 bars.
Ingersoll Rand Type 30 model 242
I saw a video on youtube about an old IR from 1968, ā Ingersoll Rand Type 30 7.5hp Model 57T ā and it was faster (4 minutes) to fill from 0 to 9 bars, but the capacity is not mentionedā¦
Mine was in a farm. May be need to rebuilt rods and valvesā¦
What you think about that?
Hopefully, we can easily find spare parts for those nice compressorā¦
Compare to an old french Creyssensac single stage V cylinders 1970 500 liters of my dad, mine is very quiet.
Guillaume.

Bonjour, Guillaume.
Without seeing the compressor and trying to figure out why, I suspect you have valve wear or gasket failureā¦ but it is impossible to be sure.
The Troubleshooting section has page links about reasons why air compressors will not build pressure, or build pressure fast enough. Maybe have a look at some of the things to check, and if you can pinpoint specifics, I or other visitors may be able to suggest specific solutions.
And, of course, you can always contact IR directly.
