Been looking in to a concentrator for the outer fire on my Phantom and getting no reponses for any emails that I have sent out? Is a M20 in production? Been looking at the Tornado as well, but no reply on a price Quote. So I scaled things down and know that some concentrators will not run it at a 100%, no big deal, and yet the others companies I have email mail just dont bother to respond. Pretty much have run the gammit here. Those company that have not bothered to reply are those I no longer plan to buy from; if they cant reply to some simple questions, how will they preform if i have a problem? Pathethic to be very honest. Suggestions please.

If you want to get a concentrator, then I would suggest the Devilbiss line. They put out 5LPM and about 9PSI. Most other concentrators put out 5-6 PSI, so the devilbiss is a little bit stronger machine. its very quiet and reliable too. Here is some information on it. I would recommend the MC 44-90 model.

Well, I saw this post and thought that you had emailed me recently and that I had emailed you back. I checked my sent box and saw that, sure enough, I had not emailed you back! I am sorry about that.

I just sent an email with the answer to the questions you asked me, plus some other suggestions regarding running your Phantom.

To answer your question, the Pro-4 can completely power the Phantom, both inner and outer fires. It also
requires a refrigerated air dryer and an air compressor that puts out aproximately 11 SCFM at 65 psi (more flow for higher altitudes).

I run my Phantom on a Regalia and older Integra10 y'd together. That combo powers the Phantom to close to 75% of what it can do. It was enough to melt a 1 3/4" round boro gather in less than four minutes. It may or may not be enough heat for your application.

Before I hooked the two together, I just ran the centerfire on one and the outer fire on tanked oxygen. The Regalia powers a stand-alone Lynx to about 90% capacity. But on a centerfire/outerfire set-up, you would probably turn on your outerfire before reaching that top 10% of the centerfire.

Two DeVilbisses y'd together will give close (close, but not quite) to the same performance as a single Regalia on the centerfire. But, I have found that on larger torches, they do not do as well as the Regalia.

kbinkster,
I emailed you yesterday also about GTT torch prices and have not heard back.

Well thank you both for the replies, you are both indeed people I contacted and got no responce. I find that concering in such a limited market for oxygen needs. I have purchased from Justin in the past, and rather not double up on the 5lpm units only do to the fact that I may use the two I aready have for the center fire. thanks again to you both
