Air compressors are essential to everyday workplace operations. They help increase productivity and quality production. When a problem arises with an industrial air compressor, it can be disruptive.

Fitz Equipment offers high-quality air compressor repairs for a wide variety of issues. This article will cover intake vents, filters, and belts.

Intake Vents

Air compressors are used to power a variety of industrial tools and equipment. They can be found in manufacturing plants, mines, farms, etc. They help to perform essential tasks and increase workplace productivity. For air compressors to work appropriately, they must be kept in good condition.

Inspecting intake vents regularly is a great way to prevent clogging and improve overall air compressor performance. Ensure they aren’t caked with dirt or other debris; clean them if necessary.

It’s essential to use the correct type of oil when operating an air compressor. Synthetic air compressor oils are formulated for commercial and industrial use, providing cooling and lubrication. They also have a wide temperature range and can improve corrosion resistance.

Filters

Compressed air is essential in many industrial settings. This resource allows workers to do critical tasks more quickly and efficiently and increases workplace safety. If you experience issues with your compressed air system, the professionals at Fitz Equipment are available to help.

R.G. Bob Fitzgerald established the Fitz Equipment Company in 1960. Initially, the company rebuilt air compressor valves and air control valves. Then, in the late 1960s, air compressor service was added to the line of products and services. The company now sells Gardner Denver, Joy, Quincy, Champion, and Kaeser portable air compressors and National, Twin Disc, and Allison hydraulic torque converters. In May 2007, Fitz Industrial Patterns opened to manufacture parts for the company’s line of fluid coupling and specialty machine parts.

Belts

One of industrial air compressors’ most common problems is low or no pressure. If the problem is not addressed immediately, it can lead to internal damage to the compressor and a complete loss of production.

A few things that can help prevent this issue are cleaning the intake vents and ensuring they are debris-free. Checking the belts is also a good idea, as it will ensure that they are not worn and in danger of losing tension.
