ELGi's Oil Lubricated Screw Air Compressor Maintenance Tips - Oil lubricated air compressors are commonly used in various industries for generating compressed air. Proper maintenance of these compressors is essential to ensure their efficiency, longevity, and safe operation. Here are some maintenance tips to keep your oil lubricated compressor in optimal condition: Regular Oil Checks - Check the compressor’s oil level frequently. Low oil levels can cause excessive friction and lead to premature wear of components. Be sure to use the recommended type and grade of oil specified by the manufacturer. Oil Changes - Regularly change the compressor’s oil as per the manufacturer’s guidelines. This ensures the oil’s lubricating properties remain effective and prevents contaminants from building up. Air Filter Inspection and Replacement - The air intake filter prevents dust, debris, and other contaminants from entering the compressor’s system. Check the air filter regularly, clean it, and replace it if it’s damaged or clogged. A clogged filter can restrict airflow and decrease the compressor’s efficiency. Cooling System Maintenance: The compressor’s cooling system is essential to prevent overheating. Clean the cooling fins and ensure proper airflow to dissipate heat effectively. Additionally, check for any coolant leaks and address them promptly. Inspect Belts and Hoses - Check the condition of the belts and hoses that drive the compressor. Replace any worn-out or damaged belts and hoses to maintain smooth operation. Drain Condensate - Condensation can accumulate in the compressor’s tank and lines. Drain the condensate regularly to prevent corrosion and water damage to internal components. Professional Services from ELGi - While some maintenance tasks can be performed in-house, it’s advisable to have an authorised technician from ELGi conduct periodic inspections and servicing of your oil injected air compressor.
