Maximising the Lifespan of Your Air Compressor: Tips for Finding and Replacing Spare Parts

Many facilities across New Zealand and worldwide rely on industrial air compressors to get their work done efficiently and correctly. These large industrial air compressors have spare parts that can be used to replace damaged or old parts and keep the air compressor running smoothly. 

An air compressor with malfunctioning parts won’t work right and might not provide you with the high-quality compressed air you need. Additionally, depending on what’s wrong, a malfunctioning air compressor may not produce clean compressed air, which is vital in certain facilities. 

Purchasing a brand-new industrial air compressor isn’t exactly cheap, so you should always ensure that your own air compressor is being maintained correctly and that you have the right air compressor spare parts on hand.

To make the smartest choices for your air compressor, it’s essential to understand why quality parts and services are an absolute must. Exceptional, genuine parts will keep your air quality good and your machine running as it should. 

Every single component of your compressor is vital, so opting for non-genuine spare parts compromises your productivity and quality.  Non-genuine parts may be of poorer-quality, and the maker may have cut corners to save money. Only trust reputable sellers, like us at Atlas Copco, to provide you with excellent genuine parts for your machine.

Fantastic genuine parts and professional service will keep your compressor’s air quality good. Air compressors are used in many industries all around the world, and in many of those industries, air quality is extremely important. Good air quality helps to maintain the condition of your products and makes them safe and suitable for your consumers to use. Producing air of low-quality can be potentially dangerous, and could contaminate your products. 

How do you know if your air compressor is producing high-quality air and is using energy efficiently in a good setup? Our team at Atlas Copco is here to help you check your conditions. We offer three levels of health check and energy audit so that we can assess your situation. There are heaps of things that you can do to fully optimise your compressed air system.

Do you suspect that your facility’s air compressor needs new parts? Staying on top of your machinery’s maintenance schedules is incredibly important to prevent breakdowns and malfunctions. Still, it can be difficult to understand exactly what you need to do if you do not have the experience. 

So, think about the following if you need to find new air compressor spare parts:

Understand Which Parts You Need. An industrial air compressor is a very large piece of machinery with heaps of moving parts and components that keep it running correctly. Naturally, if any of these components get damaged, it could compromise your entire process. 

First, you’ll want to understand exactly which parts you need so that you purchase the right ones. We recommend routinely having professionals follow a thorough inspection plan to examine your air compressor system and determine what you need.  

Have Your Compressor Maintained By A Professional. It’s highly recommended that you don’t open up and alter your air compressor if you don’t have the experience, tools or training to do it safely and correctly. Industrial machinery can be dangerous if handled improperly, so it’s best to leave these tasks to those with the appropriate experience.

Purchase Your Parts From The Same Company That Provided You With Your Air Compressor. Finally, when you know which parts you need to get for your facility’s air compressor, you should purchase the parts from the same company that sold you the air compressor. 

When you work with us at Atlas Copco, we do our best to make the process as straightforward for you as possible. Our Parts Plan is designed to bring you genuine Atlas Copco parts right to you, so you know that they’re excellent parts meant exactly for your specific air compressor! We make finding, purchasing and obtaining spare parts easy.

Having the right air compressor spare parts is a very good idea. But how do you know when your air compressor actually needs maintenance? 

First, you should know that routine maintenance is critical because:

• It Improves Productivity. Regular maintenance can improve productivity because, if there are any issues, they can be fixed right away. Along with improving productivity, it also ensures the quality of the compressed air you are producing. Air compressors are used in a wide variety of industries, and it’s vital that you ensure your compressed air is always safe. 

• It Prevents Breakdowns. Maintenance prevents unexpected breakdowns and accidents that could hinder production.

• It Gives Insight To Your Air Compressor’s Condition. It’s smart to keep up with the condition of your air compressor rather than wait until it shows clear signs of damage before checking it.

We strongly recommend implementing an air compressor maintenance schedule to keep up with your air compressor’s maintenance. Even if your air compressor appears to be working fine, you should still have it maintained. 

Your air compressor should have its oil changed, its cooler inspected and its filters cleaned every three months.Plus, its filters must be changed at least once a year.
