    Oldstuff,

    Cool job!

    Whats the lowdown on the compressors? Pumping air? or something else? Pressure? Make? HP? They look like they were for more than 100 psi air!!

    Are you scrapping them or are they going to a higher purpose somewhere else?

    What kinda plant were they in? Kinda looks like a pulpmill....

    Jon.

    They are air, used to force plastic into shape, they are going to scrap.

    Getting them out is difficult due to lack of space to move a forklift. Have to take them apart more than I want to, in order to lift them out.

    Each one had 3 large electric motors on them
