Air compressors are essential for many businesses and are found in almost every sector.
They drive processes ranging from heavy-duty machining to delicate food preparation. However, their versatility is dependent on regular servicing.
Air compressors become inefficient without a proper maintenance and repair routine, costing you more to run or even failing to provide the power you rely on.
A good servicing plan can keep your compressor as good as new. We can service any compressor brand, and our extensive range of plans will include something right for your installation.
Why is air compressor service and repair important?
Like any equipment, compressed air equipment will experience wear and tear and suffer the occasional bumps and knocks that can happen in any operational location. Given that it will be used in demanding circumstances, the need for some servicing is inevitable.
One of the ways an unserviced compressor will affect you is your bottom line. Regular servicing ensures every component in your system performs as it should, saving you 20% on energy costs. Some problems, such as leaks, can be even more costly and increase the strain on your compressor, potentially creating even more problems for you.
In some industries, regular servicing is essential to meet regulatory standards. ISO 8573-1, for example, covers the purity of the air produced, including the standards that must be met for compressed air used in food and pharmaceutical operations.
Like any equipment, keeping it in good running order minimises breakdowns and production losses. A well-maintained system is estimated to experience less than 50% unplanned downtime.
How do I maintain my compressed air system?
Good maintenance never stops, and you should check your compressor daily. In addition to checking the pressure, temperature, and oil levels, those who work with it may see early signs of problems, like changes in operating noise or vibration.
Quick but regular system checks should supplement this. Examining pipework, connections, and hoses can help identify issues before they become more serious.
The importance of regular servicing
These internal checks should be supplemented by a proper servicing and maintenance plan. Your operations will determine the frequency of these checks, and we are always happy to advise.
Having one of our fully qualified engineers attend site means your compressor will have a full check, with all parts assessed and replaced.
Our services may include diagnostics using technology like ultrasonic tool to detect leaks too small for humans to notice, or thermal imaging to identify heat anomalies.
