We know that air compressors require some care. Whether they are for domestic or industrial use, there is a need for maintenance and practices that, if carried out correctly, can increase the lifespan of a compressor. We bring some tips and solutions for this to happen.
Regular maintenance of compressors ensures proper functioning of the equipment, therefore, compressors should be designed in a way that facilitates maintenance and installation of parts.
1- Cleaning the check valve
The valve is one of the most important parts of the compressor, as it allows compressed air to be stored within the equipment's structure. Therefore, the first tip we provide is to always clean it before use.
2- Check the hoses
Check the hoses regularly. Hoses are like the arteries of compressors – without them, the equipment may not function properly. Check the hoses periodically and inspect all possible points for cracks or folds.
If you find any, replace the hoses immediately, or you'll end up risking unnecessary strain on your machine.
3- Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter is also an extremely important component of the compressor; the filter needs regular cleaning. This simple action can prevent equipment overheating. Another problem that this action prevents is the loss of efficiency of the part due to excess dust.
