01…so that your compressor can take care of you and your business!
Did you know that neglecting your compressor and skipping regular maintenance can lead to serious problems and consequences – including a compressed air receiver potentially exploding?
Here is an example of a compressed air receiver explosion caused by a faulty pressure switch:
In this case, because the pressure switch had failed, the compressor could not recognise that the receiver was full of pressurised air. The receiver exploded, causing huge damage to the factory’s compressor system – fortunately, here too, with no one injured.
02What a Tehnogama service includes
During regular maintenance, besides the basic replacement of oil, air and separator filters and oil, Tehnogama service technicians inspect all the vital components of your compressor according to protocol and always check:
- connections and joints on electrical components
- connections and joints on air and oil hoses
- the ambient conditions the compressor operates in
- mains voltage
- the condition of the cooler
- the condition of in-line filtration and other equipment in the compressor system
On a regular service visit, the Tehnogama team will not just replace filters and oil – they will check the overall condition of the compressor and every possible external influence on its proper and, above all, safe operation.
Our technicians take into account all internal and external factors related to the compressor’s operation, and if they notice even the smallest potential for a future problem, they take every necessary step to prevent it.
So, first for safety and then for continuous, uninterrupted operation: make sure your compressor is looked after on time and in full!
03Benefits of regular compressor maintenance
