Homemade Air Compressor

Homemade Air Compressor I built for use when sandblasting. Pump is from Eaton Compressor and is 42CFM. Tank is a 120gal propane pig. Compressor is continual run, meaning when it reaches 120lbs it cuts out and motors in "no-pump" mode. It needs fenders and paint yet, so I will post more when it is 100% complete

I'm upgrading my compressor pump to one very similar to your Eaton. What RPM are you running the pump?

[snowman9980]

@stevedwnng Pump has min rpm of 550, max 800. I usually run it at about 750 rpm

very impressive, I love to see someone using fab skills to get the job done instead of buying a blasting trailer for thousands.

[snowman9980]

Yup. I priced it out and if i had to buy EVERYTHING, it woul dbe cheaper to buy one already built. I had alot of the stuff laying around

Wouldn't it be cheaper fuel wise to use a small gas engine rather than your tractor?

[snowman9980]

No. Instead of a 13HP small engine working to death, I have a 28hp tractor sitting there just off idle hardly working at all. I suppose maybe it would be if I was using a real large tractor with a big engine.
