Compressor Maintenance: A complete guide

Why is maintenance important?

Regular maintenance of compressors is essential for reliability, energy efficiency, and service life. A poorly maintained compressor system can consume up to 25% more energy than necessary.

Maintenance schedule

Daily: Check oil level, drain condensate, check operating pressure. Weekly: Inspect air filters, check for leaks. Quarterly: Replace oil filter, check belts, test safety valves. Annually: Full service with oil and filter change, inspection of all connections and hoses.

Globe Energy offers service agreements with fixed intervals that ensure optimal operation and extend the equipment's service life.

Common mistakes to avoid

The most common mistakes are ignoring condensate (leads to corrosion), changing filters too infrequently (reduces efficiency), using the wrong oil (damages the compressor element), and not checking for leaks (up to 30% of compressed air can be lost through leaks).
