Simple Maintenance Routine for Your Industrial Air Compressor 

Keeping your industrial air compressor in great condition should be done regularly to ensure your facility's continuous operations. We have compiled a short list of things that a compressor operator can check on to make sure that the equipment is working properly.

• Test for Leaks. Testing for fluid leaks is quite easy because you can determine the source of one based on where it is located in the industrial air compressor. When you test for air leaks, apply soapy water to hoses, condensate traps and other leak-prone areas, and check if there are bubbles forming.
• Check the air compressor's temperature. Go to your industrial air compressor's cooler and make sure that it is working properly. Ensure that your compressor has sufficient space to exhaust.
• Vibration Pads. This pad sits under the industrial air compressor to prevent excessive vibrations. If you hear too much noise from your equipment, then quickly check if your pad is still intact. Too much vibration will cause your air compressor to lose floor mounting and eventually mounting bolts, which can cause plenty of problems.
• Vents. Dirty or clogged intake vents can cause damage to your industrial air compressor. Clean your intake vents regularly to keep them free from dust.
• Clean Regularly. Proper dusting is important. Keep your industrial air compressor clean and dust-free. Keep outside debris away since it may cause problems. Clean your coolers as well as the area where your compressor is typically stored when not in use.

Last, but not least, have an expert check the condition of your industrial air compressor and execute preventive maintenance. This can save you plenty of expensive emergency repair cost.
