Your compressed air system needs regular maintenance to keep performing at the level it was designed for. All components in your installation have a manufacturer specified lifespan and following the correct service schedule is the only way to ensure the quality and reliability of your compressed air system and the lowest total cost of ownership.
Did you know? A filter that is overdue for replacement or not designed to manufacturer specifications will cause a 25 mbar inlet pressure drop which, while small, reduces air compressor output by 2%.
Why buy a service kit instead of individual parts?
- Get a "one time fix", meaning that you restore your compressed air system to top performance with a single intervention
- Ensure that all necessary maintenance tasks are completed in the correct interval, because they are all included in the kit
- Minimise downtime, because the compressor only needs one service operation
- Have the certainty of genuine spare parts, even for legacy machines, which ensures better compressed air system performance
What if I buy the parts separately?
There's also a risk of forgetting a part due for replacement, which will lead to additional planned downtime for the secondary service operation.
If a part is not replaced on schedule, then there is a higher risk of compressor failure, leading to unplanned downtime while the part is sourced and until it can be delivered and installed.
What makes Atlas Copco genuine parts the better choice?
Did you know? Cheap spare parts can indirectly cost you more than genuine parts by increasing the energy usage of your compressor through that, your total ownership cost of ownership.
When you choose Atlas Copco genuine parts, you benefit from:
- Lubricants that have been especially speficied by a dedicated internal team to offer the best performance for your compressed air installation, regardless of the site conditions
- Filters and line filters developed in-house by specialists, tested in ISO certified facilities, and produced in Atlas Copco facilities and meeting our strict quality control standards.
- Patented technologies designed to reduce the cost of your compressed air production

What if I can source cheaper parts from other suppliers?
The risk with cheaper parts from third party suppliers is that these are generally put together for a minimum investment cost and not specific to any given machine specifications.
That means they will be designed for multiple purposed and either over-specified or under-specified for the requirements of your compressed air system. Ultimately this leads to a less efficient compressed air system, risks the tools that use compressed air and the quality of the products that come into contact with compressed air.
