How often is the air compressor maintained?

Generally, the first maintenance of a new machine is 500 hours, and the second maintenance is about 2000 hours, which can be determined by the specific use environment. Time is not fixed, but if the environment is too bad, it is best to maintain it in advance. If the environment is good, it can be slightly delayed.

There are two different types of air compressors, which are divided into oil lubrication and oil-free lubrication. Among them, oil-lubricated air compressors are often used in industrial equipment, such as auto shops, for long-term operation. Oil lubrication prevents excessive machine temperature. For a long time, the oil of the air compressor has become thick and black, making it less efficient as a lubricant and reducing lubrication performance.

If it is not treated and replaced in time, the waste oil may cause the air compressor to overheat and damage. Generally, when you buy air compressor oil, air compressor dealers or manufacturers will recommend that you protect the air compressor machine is to regularly maintain and replace the air compressor oil.

How to judge whether your air compressor needs to change the oil:

1. The date of the last change of air compressor oil;

2. Find the observation window or dipstick to measure the amount of oil in the air compressor;

3. Observe the amount of oil in the air compressor through the sight glass, or take out the dipstick.

4. Compare the amount of oil seen on the sight glass or dipstick with the recommended volume in the air compressor manual. If the machine contains less oil, you need to add air compressor oil.

In fact, the simple thing is to estimate the number of hours since the last oil change, for example, the screw air compressor has been turned on and running. If it runs for more than 300 hours, new oil is needed. If the air compressor is not operated frequently and the specific time since the last maintenance interval is not known, the oil should be changed at least once a year.
