Air Compressor Service and Repair

Air Compressor Service and Repair
Air compressors are workhorses in industrial operations, but wear and tear are inevitable. Ignoring repairs or opting for unapproved fixes can lead to catastrophic failures, costly downtime, and safety hazards. As Singapore’s authorised Atlas Copco distributor, Winston Engineering Corporation emphasises why professional service and genuine parts are non-negotiable for reliable, long-term performance.

Regular Air Compressor Servicing and Repair

Oil change – Compressors have moving parts that generate friction. Oil provides a lubricating layer, reducing wear and tear on these components.

Oil Filter Replacement – Ensures that contaminants do not circulate within the system, preventing wear and tear.
Oil Separator Maintenance – Ensures that compressed air remains free from excess oil, improving air quality and efficiency.
System Check/Testing - Running a final system check after completing the maintenance. This would involve verifying that the compressor is functioning correctly and all parameters are within acceptable range.

Common Wear & Tear Issues You Can’t Afford to Ignore

A. Piston Compressors
  1. Valve Failures: Worn valves reduce efficiency and cause overheating.
  2. Piston Ring Wear: Leads to air leakage and pressure drops.
  3. Crankshaft Damage: Misalignment or lubrication issues can seize the motor.
B. Screw Compressors
  1. Rotor Degradation: Metal-on-metal contact from poor lubrication wears down rotors.
  2. Bearing Failures: Causes vibrations, noise, and eventual rotor damage.
  3. Oil Contamination: Clogged filters or degraded oil harm seals and cooling systems.

Why “Cheap Fixes” Backfire

  1. Non-Genuine Parts:
    • Incompatible materials fail faster, worsening damage (e.g., counterfeit seals melt under heat).
    • Void Atlas Copco’s warranty, leaving you unprotected.
  2. Unqualified Technicians:
    • Misdiagnose issues, leading to repeated repairs.
    • Lack training to handle Atlas Copco’s precision engineering.
  3. Safety Risks:
    • Poorly repaired compressors may overheat, leak oil, or explode under pressure.
