Cleaning up a Harman Burnpot with White Aluminum Oxide

Hello
The Harman P61 has not been used in the past 4 years and the Burnpot and Burnpot Gasket is a little grundgey!
Using a blasting cabinet with a little white aluminum oxide and 25 CFM Quincy compressor seemed to perk it up a bit?

Blast cabinets are a great addition to a shop !

 

Yes, then in makes a good 80 gallon shop compressor a must too! LOL

 

I run multiple burn pots in my 6039's, one in service and the other in a bucket of water with a little Simple Green in it. Couple days soak and all the grunge (and hard carbon) comes right off with a little putty knife work and some coarse Scotchbrite. Same applies to the stirrers.

 

Well that's a good starter size until you get addicted to air that is !! LOL

 

Totally 'addicted' to air here. Why I have 3 compressors and 3 100 gallon receivers. I usually just run the screw compressor but there are times when I'll turn on the other 2 reciprocating compressors if my CFM usage requires it.

 

Not sure how many compressors I have in total but the main ones are a 10hp with 200 gallons in the garage and a 25, 10 and 5 with 600+ gallons at the shop. People come over just to blow out their equipment as I'm a firm believer in clean stuff is far more trouble free.

 

I only had enough room for the reciprocating 80 gallon and candescent air dryer,
Wow! Those Rotary Screw compressors are nice!
Looks like you have plenty of storage too!!
Yes, I always blow off my tractor with it after every use!

 

I quit using compressed air for blowing off equipment (in my case tractors and hay tools) a long time ago. I use a Harbor Freight Bauer 20 volt blower. Fits behind the tractor seat and with a 5AH battery will run a long time. Much more convenient and no air hose or blow gun to deal with.

 

Here is the new burnpot gasket and burnpot installed and stove working like new!

 

Funny thing is a few years ago I was having problems with my stove and come to find out there was a warp on the back wall of my stove so I ended up having to put 2 burn pot gaskets on and has worked amazing ever since. That burn pot looks nniicceee.

 

It seems the Original burnpot gasket was very slim so any replacement is an upgrade.
