HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT A COMPRESSOR IN THE AIR?

Air compressors are critical to many industrial and manufacturing processes, and equipment failure can result in costly downtime. To minimize downtime, it’s important to have a deep understanding of common air compressor failures and how to quickly resolve them.

1. Check the power supply: Make sure your air compressor is properly connected to the power supply and the circuit breaker has not tripped.

2. Check the air filter: A clogged air filter can reduce the efficiency of the compressor and cause it to overheat. Be sure to replace the air filter regularly according to the prescribed maintenance intervals.

3. Check the oil level: Low oil levels can cause the compressor to overheat or seize. Be sure to check and refill the oil level regularly.

4. Check the pressure setting: An incorrect pressure setting can cause the compressor to run continuously or even fail to start at the required pressure. Please check the manual to find out how to set the correct pressure setting for your machine.

5. Check the valves and hoses: A leaking valve or hose can cause the compressor to lose pressure or stop working completely. Please check and repair any leaks in the compressed air network.
