When it comes to your industrial air compressor, you should never cut corners. Opting for cheap, counterfeit replacement parts may save you money in the moment, but they will cause increased costs and irreparable damage to your air compressor in the long run.

Here are just some of the many issues fake industrial air compressors parts are prone to:

1. Breakdowns.

Unlike original parts, counterfeit parts are not tested and certified. Typically, these parts do not even conform to design accuracy, and as such it is no surprise how likely it is for them to break down, forcing you to have to purchase another part. They may not even install correctly considering their measurements may be completely off.

2. Damaging other parts.

Not only do they frequently break down, there is also the potential for counterfeit parts to damage other parts that they may work or interact with. If the fake part begins to lag in performance, it may cause an attached part to work overtime. Another example is when your fake parts do not react well with the lubricant you normally use, it can generate excessive amounts of dirt and debris, contaminating your system. This will certainly result in extra work and costs.

3. Decreased Performance.

Even if your parts work without breaking down or damaging other parts of the system, it is still guaranteed that your overall performance will suffer. Either pressurization will not be sufficient, or you may find yourself dealing with leaks, overheating, corrosion, and more.

On the other hand, original industrial air compressor parts not only promise to perform as expected, they also come with a slew of other benefits such as increased support from the parts supplier. Counterfeit parts do not come with good service, which is an issue considering the amount of issues that come with using fake parts.

Hopefully, these reasons show you why it is important for you to get in touch with a reputable supplier before purchasing parts for your air compressor. Call Compresseurs Quebec today to speak to a sales representative.
