Home › Vendor News › Effective Tips For Maintaining Air Compressor

The air compressor is one of the most used tools in the industry. The only way to keep this essential tool in good shape is by performing regular maintenance. Proper maintenance will not only increase the life of the air compressor, but it will also boost operation, as well as reduces the operational cost.
Poor maintenance on the air compressor can make it malfunction, eventually causing breakdown. A breakdown can be quite costly because it will require repair and even slow down production. That’s why it’s crucial to ensure that the air compressor is adequately maintained. It’s good to take the air compressor service and repair company for service regularly.
Here are some of the maintenance tips for the air compressor.

  1. Read the manufacturer’s user manual carefully

It’s crucial to read, understand, and follow the air compressor manual. There are simple tips in the manual that can help to prolong the life of the air compressor. One can refer to the manual whenever they encounter a problem with the machine. Moreover, the manual has the dos and don’ts and simple tips for the effective and safe operation of the compressor. Even if the manual is missing, one can still gain access to it online on the manufacturer’s website or contact their customer service to send it to them.

  1. Drain the moisture from the tanks

Another best way to maintain the air compressor is by getting rid of the moisture in the tanks. The machine’s tanks usually create plenty of moisture during operation. Most tanks have a valve for draining the moisture that accumulates. So, it’s up to the owner to ensure that they regularly drain the moisture.  Before using the valve, one should ensure that the air pressure in the tanks is released.

  1. Clean the air intake filter regularly

Forcing an air compressor to work too hard to intake air can make it lose power. This can also affect its quality over time. One of the best ways to keep the air in this machine flowing efficiently is by cleaning the intake vents. Ensure that the intake filter of the compressor is always clean, especially if you operate in a dusty or dirty environment.

  1. Tighten nuts and bolts

As the air compressor continues to operate, some of its nuts are bound to become loose. Loose screws do not mean that the machine is worn out; it simply means that it’s time to tighten the nuts. When tightening the nut and bolts, only turn the nut to a point where it no longer moves. Over-tightening the nuts and bolts may strip the bolt.

  1. Check hoses regularly

The hoses are essential components of an air compressor. Without them, it can be quite difficult to use the machine. The hoses can become malfunctioning if they have been in use for an extended period. That’s why it’s advisable to inspect and replace them.  Regularly inspecting the hoses can help identify a problem before it causes severe damage. It is also great to invest in high-quality compressor hoses to make the machine last longer. You can take the air compressor to any air compressor service and repair company to have the hoses replaced.
