Air compressor maintenance is a topic that cannot be avoided during use. The cost of one-time maintenance is not cheap. Normal maintenance requires the replacement of the air compressor's three filters and lubricating oil. Some products need to be replaced because of different models and functions. There are also some differences in the consumables. Today we will explain which consumables need to be replaced in the air compressor maintenance.
In order to ensure the normal operation of the air compressor, some things need to be replaced from time to time, such as lubricating oil, oil filter, pre-filter, air filter, oil and gas separator, etc., and there is a strict time for the replacement of these things Limited, these parts must be replaced after the air compressor has been used for a certain period of time.
Oil filter
Oil filter: The replacement time for the first use of the air compressor is 500 hours in use, and it can be replaced at about 1500 hours later.
Oil and gas separator
Oil and gas separator: During the use of the screw air compressor, if the indicator light is on or the oil pressure exceeds the normal operating value, the oil fine separator must be tested/replaced. The general replacement time is about 3500 hours, depending on the specific working environment.
Note: During the inspection/replacement of the oil and gas separator, make sure that no debris falls into the oil drum to prevent affecting the operation of the air compressor.
air filter
Air filter: When the screw air compressor has worked for a set time of one thousand hours, or there is a corresponding sign prompt, the filter must be cleaned or replaced. If the working environment of the body is relatively poor, the use time of Fusheng air filter can be shortened accordingly.
Pre-filter: The pre-filter of the screw air compressor must be cleaned every ten days or so. The harsh working environment can shorten the time.
Air compressor oil
Lubricant: The replacement time of the air compressor oil can be controlled at about 500 hours for the first use, and can be replaced every 3000 hours thereafter.
If you neglect to replace these items in order to save money or because of trouble, then after a period of time, it is not just these accessories that need to be replaced, but the entire air compressor should be overhauled or replaced directly. Big parts too.
Screw air compressor maintenance time:
1. The filter must be cleaned or replaced when the screw air compressor has worked for the set time of 1000 hours, or when there is a corresponding sign prompt. If the working environment of the body is relatively poor, the use time of the air filter element can be shortened accordingly.
2. During the use of the screw air compressor, if the indicator light is on or the oil pressure exceeds the normal operating value, the oil fine separator must be tested/replaced. The general replacement time is about 3500 hours, depending on the specific working environment.
3. The replacement time of screw air compressor oil can be controlled at about 500 hours for the first use, after which it can be replaced every 3000 hours.
4. The replacement time of the screw-type air compressor oil filter for the first use is 500 hours after use, and it can be replaced at about 1500 hours later.
