Swap for SMART!

Swap your compressor for the latest technology to increase your production efficiency

Time for replacement?

Whether you have an old compressor, a fixed speed one, or you are just not satisfied with another brand, Atlas Copco provides a solution for replacing it, helping you to get a more cost-effective one and assisting you in making the swap.

Why replace your compressor?

If compressed air is an essential part of your day-to-day business operations, and downtime would cost you considerably in lost production, then you should consider if your compressor needs to be replaced.

Before making your decision, let’s consider a few important factors:

While a new compressor may seem expensive initially, it’s important to consider the overall cost of ownership over its lifespan. The actual purchase price of a new compressor is only around 10% of the total cost, while energy contributes up to 80% of an air compressor's total life cycle cost.

Compressed air systems represent the majority of energy costs in the facility, as they may reach 20% of the total electricity bill.

These challenges urge many companies to review the cost-effectiveness of their compressed air systems and switch to a new and smart energy-efficient compressor model, so the cost of a new unit soon pays for itself in electricity savings.

When to replace an old compressor?

If you're deciding between covering the cost of a pricey repair or investing in an even more expensive replacement unit, here are some key reasons why replacing your compressor might be the better option:

Age: Compressors typically have an average life span of 7-15 years, depending on the harsh local conditions. Normally, a user should consider compressor replacement from the 5th year.
Decreased performance: Continuous use can affect the compressor's performance over time. If the air compressor is old and has been working for a long time, replacing it may be a good idea to improve efficiency and performance.
Large electricity consumption: results in a high electricity bill.
Air leakage: If there is a leak in the pressure system, it may be
better to replace the compressor. Air leakage leads to pressure loss and reduces the efficiency of the compressor.
Frequent breakdowns & Repairs: This is more likely to happen again, resulting in stopping the compressor & production in addition to the loss of money
Repair History: If there is damage to the compressor components, it may be necessary to replace them. Damage to these components can cause the compressor to stop working.
Parts Availability: Finding replacement parts can be time-consuming and expensive for older models.
Energy inefficiency: Newer compressors are more energy-efficient. Replacing your old compressor could lead to long-term energy savings if your old compressor is inefficient.
Increased compressed air requirements: if you need more air or more compressor power for new applications, replacing it with a larger unit or newer technology would be ideal for meeting your requirements.
