Air compressors are machines that are used for a wide range of applications but mainly, to power a wide variety of air tools such as jackhammer, sanders, wrenches, and grinders to name a few. They are also used to pump high-pressure air to full gas cylinders to power pneumatic tools, and even supply divers with oxygen.
With a wealth of applications, just how do you properly maintain air compressors in Singapore?
How to Maintain Air Compressors in Singapore
• Oil Pump
The oil that leaks into the system can mix with the water formed from the vapour, potentially resulting in clogging when not properly cleaned out. To check for oil leaks, turn off your air compressor and drain the oil that exceeds more than halfway point of the sight glass.
• Filtres
Air and oil filters make maintenance easier. But, over time, they will need check ups too. Clean out any debris and dust, regularly and if it’s old and worn out, it may be time for a replacement.
Most Common Air Compressor Problems & How to Fix Them
Air Leakage
Leaks in the system can cost you money and hurt your finances, the longer you put off repairs. When you can feel a leak, you can patch the leaks up temporarily or weld the tank back into shape, where the leak is coming from.
Machine that Blows-Up Breakers
Any machine that constantly blows up fuse breakers can indicate it is being overworked. But, a more pressing matter is that it can put your employees’ safety at risk. You can contact your air compressor supplier in Singapore to check for repairs.
Machine that Doesn’t Turn On
There are many reasons your air compressor doesn’t start when you switch it on. Either it’s overworked or permanently damaged. Either way, it’s best to not go for a series of tries, in case you cause permanent damage to your machine. In this case, it’s best to contact your air compressor supplier.
