Air Compressor Build

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ส.ค. 2024
  • Restoring and converting an old air compressor from petrol to electric in my machine shop. Cleaning what's remaining from the air compressor with pressure washer and brake cleaner, priming and painting the 150 liter pressure tank. Finding a suitable electric motor off the shelf which needs an overhaul and refurbishment too. Getting new pressure gauges and automatic pressure switches mounted, also pressure regulator. Fabricating and MIG welding axles and a removable handle. Mounting wheels to make it movable in the machine shop.

    Donn build a sand blaster!
    Those parts would clean up like new and much easier. I use my sand blaster to clean up everything. It’s a bit persnickety in its running but the out come is much better than by hand or wire brush!
    OH !!!! I did not realize the air compressor was for a sand blaster!!!!
    Great work!

    Great build. In the future you could always build two of the wheels on a pivot bar with handle attached to that. Make it easier to steer round corners 😊

    Donn very good restoration on the compressor , but i always warn people about wiring , you see the wiring coming out of the motor have to be renew too because the age of the motor , please make sure you pay attention to details take the time it go to be safer for your life and as well when soldering wire together first tide them together by twisting them then soldering and shrinking the plastic sleeves you have put in before this process, Hope you will accept these infos without been upset ,you are a brilliant metal worker , regards Robert in Australia

    • @rorschacht8478
      @rorschacht8478 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      No it's a terrible idea, you should never restore or diy fix a compressor. If you do it regardless then at the very least store it outside away from any people and inside a blast proof shed or something.

    Now drain the air tank every day!

    Change the oil twice a year!
    It will last 20 years

    Great fabrication...... old garden hose, is great for shielding wires..
    Your shop is too clean, if I did this, half the tools I own, would be scattered from one end of the shop, to the other. I imagine I'm not alone, in this observation..

    Great well organised rebuild. One tiny comment, old motor lead out wires cannot be trusted. If you can't get into the motor to replace them then slide sleeving over the old wires as far as they will go.
    Enjoyed seeing reuse of old machinery... You are well talented...keep doing it !!!

    Ottimo lavoro e ottimo video come sempre.
    Hai veramente un'ottima competenza in molti campi.
    Io però avrei montato le ruote anteriori su una barra con un cuscinetto al centro per renderla sterzante, e con un piccolo timone snodato in modo da poterlo muovere più agevolmente, ma è solo una mia opinione personale.
    Guardare i tuoi video è sempre tempo speso bene.
