#Brunner air compressor utica ny iso#

Enjoy your restored compressor with some vintage air tools ! It brings back memories of auto repair garages when I was a kid, and it's kind of like the ticking of an old clock or listening to a 'percolator' coffee pot. I always liked the sound of the old slow-speed air compressors. Gear oil has additives which can attack certain kinds of brass and bronze.

I'd use something like ISO 46 or ISO 68 oil in the motor bearings rather than gear oil. The old repulsion-induction motors had a lot of starting torque, so were great for starting air compressors. I believe the Chicago-Pneumatic air compressor division, along with what was parts of Worthington's air compressor division (Holyoke, Massachusetts plant) both became part of Atlas-Copco. This type of compressor will produce higher pressure compressed air. What you have from the way you describe it is a 'two stage' air compressor. The refrigeration compressor portion of Brunner remained in business under the Brunner name some time longer. At some point, Chicago-Pneumatic bought the air compressor portion of Brunner. Brunner made both air compressors and refrigeration compressors. Brunner was a compressor manufacturer located in Utica, NY for many years. You have done a very good job of restoring the compressor and its motor. PS: If someone have more info about the Brunner-Wagner Electric or want to see more of my pictures, just tell me. I removed the old paint(about 5 colors), primed it and re-painted it pieces by pieces.takes me about a month ! most of the passages for the air was clogged.believed it or not by a BEE Nest.how much time this compressor stay outside in the past, i dont know! Everything is cleaned, inspected and re-assemblied.very surprise to find that the gaskets are still good.maid of strong Rubber with cotton.About 450 lbs of iron.easy to installed with a winch. 2 pistons(a small & a big).Bearings and pistons OK.and now we are.THE VALVES ! The second was the compressor.a Brunner 1951. About 150 lbs.hard to installed for a short boy ha ha ha! I found there was a small backlash between the pulley and the shaft(1 inche) make it very noisy POC POC POC.fixed it with a new keyway home made. I cleaned inside to removed the dust, paint.and check for good operation of the counterweight(Governor weight). pieces of wool incorporeted to distribute equaly the oil on the shaft(very good idea). Two small reservoirs maintain a suffisient amount of oil to lubricated the shaft and the bearing. It's a Induction-Repulsion motor with bearings in Bronze and need to be lubricated manualy at both extremity with gear oil. I open it, inspect and change the brush(an american cie still have cky). The first was the electric motor.a Wagner Electric, probably built in the 50's. I utilised every day for everything for almost 12 years.and decided to restore it. In 2000, i bought this old compressor for 350$ and dont know what i pay for.just take a chance.
