Default Can someone tell me what this is?

Had something interesting show up at the scrap yard today.




Only other thing I can find made by beer utilities was a tap cleaner on ebay.

Looks a lot like an air separator/regulator/oiler for an air compressor.

Is there a small pump in the housing? The shroud looks like it's a "finger in pulley" preventer. If so, it's a small compressor with a large sep/reg/oiler.

Reviewing my previous post: It's a beer line cleaner with an attached compressor.

There is a motor and compressor with a big pulley inside the housing. It looks very simular to the tap cleaner listed on ebay but has more pieces.


It also came in with what could be the pieces used to attach to the taps.
