When is the best time for the first guarantee of the air compressor?

The first guarantee of the air compressor is best done in about 500 hours of operation, and no more than 600 hours at the latest.

Why this time. When the new machine just leaves the factory, although the parts inside are brand new, some metal chips and impurities will inevitably be left in the process of processing and assembly. These things are mixed in lubricating oil. If they are not cleaned up in time, they will grind the screw and bearings like sandpaper, causing irreversible damage. Therefore, the core purpose of the first guarantee is to discharge these dirty things and check the running-in of each component at the same time.

What exactly does the first guarantee do. First, change the lubricating oil and bring out all the debris inside. Second, change the filter element of the oil and gas separator. The sludge deposition is the fastest during this period of time for the new machine. Third, change the air filter and remove the dust from the assembly process. Fourth, check the belt tightness and the joints are not loose.

The first guarantee time of the water lubricated air compressor is about 500 hours, but the content is different. Because it does not use oil, there is no need to change the lubricating oil and the oil core. The first insurance mainly does three things. First, change the water filter to remove impurities in the water system. Second, change the air filter. Third, check whether there is any water leakage in the waterway and whether each water nozzle is blocked. Because there is no trouble of sludge in the water-lubricated air compressor, the first guarantee is simpler than that of the oil-lubricated machine. However, the inspection of the waterway cannot be saved. Once the water spray hole is blocked, there will be problems with lubrication and sealing.

In general, remember the node of 500 hours, do it when you arrive, and don't delay. The water-lubricated air compressor has less work to change oil and filter elements, but the waterway inspection cannot be lazy. If you want to know how to arrange the daily maintenance cycle after the initial warranty, you can continue to talk.
