1989 Campbell Hausfeld air compressor. 60 Gallon Vertical, single stage. 5HP (special) 230 volt, 1 phase. This compressor has served its duty and then some. I have replaced the motor, belt, pressure switch and the pressure gage. And now for the last year and a half it has developed a wicked knock which I am assuming that one of the rods is about to let loose. It also has gotten significantly slower in the last couple of years. It takes about 3 minutes to get from 90 psi up to 125 psi. When it finally gives out, I will replace the entire unit with an 80 gallon vertical 2 stage, 5HP (true 5 HP) 230 volt 1 phase. I have been doing a LOT of research on a new unit. Everything from Pump RPM to head valve type to head unload technique to standard features as well of manufacture origin. CFM ratings from 15.9-18.2 @175 PSI. I've been comparing: C-Aire, Campbell Hausfeld, CAS (Compressed Air Systems of IL), Castair, DevAir, Eaton Compressor (Polar Air / E-Max) FS Curtis, Ingersoll Rand (type 30), Jenny (formerly Emglo), Mi-TM, Quincy, Saylor Beall, Speedaire (Grainger brand), and Sullivan Palatek.
