Re: Eaton compressors...???
Eaton compressor and fabrication? I would say no. If you are talking about there piston machines, they apear to be strikingly simular to an older saylor- beal design. My best guess would be the pumps are from brazil. That's just a hunch though. They are probably assembled state side. Pump from brazil, motor from?, tank probably from manchester. Again that is just a guess. Saylor-beal used to build pumps in brazil until the early 90s. When they stopped the company they contracted with continued to build the pumps and market them under different names. Cap-10 is one, belair i believe to be another. No one will admit to this but the parts mostly interchange. So you can make your own summation. If you are looking for a true American made machine %100. Then look for Gardner Denver R series also marketed as Champion. Or Quincy compressor. All others on the market that I know of are at best assembled here.
Lastly if you are in the market pump rpm is the data that most wont share unless you ask. The slower the pump the longer it will live. Slower pumps also generate less heat wich means less condensate in the air. Sorry for the long post a guess a NO would have probably sufficed |
