4 Ways to Extend Your Air Compressor’s Life

Intelligent management of maintenance and operations of the plant’s compressed air system helps increase plant uptime, reduce unplanned shutdowns and help keep the plant profits and employee morale at peak levels.

Service Agreement for Out-Sourced Compressor Maintenance

With a full range of coverage options available, service provider inspects your air compressor for wear, damage and potential failure. Below are three different types of Air Compressor Service Agreements and their key benefits:
  1. OEM Service Schedules – Offer compressed air maintenance according to scheduled service intervals. Includes 46-point compressor inspection, filters and fluid.
  2. Annual Maintenance Agreement— Sakoon offers annual service agreements to relive plant managers from hassles of air compressor maintenance so that they may focus on production.
  3. Trouble Shoot Plan— System Failure – Call the Professionals!
Should your system ever fail, customers can contact Sakoon specialist advisors directly on the Service Hotline +92 21 111 727 777. They will keep downtimes to a minimum, make sure that your machines are repaired professionally and minimize repair costs wherever possible.

Service Kits

Screw compressor service kits are a real source for a longer lifetime of air compressor and less energy costs. As your workspace is equipped with a high-class compressor, it deserves the best service and parts. If you are tempted to use parts that merely resemble the original ones, keep in mind that in the long run, using non-original parts will cost you more and decrease the lifetime of your compressor.
Only proper maintenance using original parts and kits ensures reliable, energy-efficient performance and long lifetime of air compressors. As original parts were designed for your compressor, they are a 100% fit. Not just in terms of size but as integral parts of a system where all components work together efficiently.

Key benefits:

  • Everything you need to maintain your screw compressor is in one single kit
  • Cost effective solution (Service Kits are 5 to 10% lower in price than separate parts)
  • Assurance of high quality components
  • Easy to use
  • Higher efficiency
  • Service kits are available at our official service organization and partners
  • Low internal logistic costs
  • Longer lifetime of your screw compressor

Fluid Analysis 

Fluids are the life-blood of air compressors. Fluids keep bearings lubricated. Fluids and coolants remove the heat of compression and keep your air compressor operating smoothly. Regular fluid sampling and analysis informs you if fluid needs to be changed, if intake air is contaminated, if fluids have been mixed or if sever wear is occurring. Key benefits:
  • Current status of your lubricant and equipment
  • Positive input to determine maintenance schedule
  • Detailed history of lubricant performance
  • Better control of maintenance expenditures

Trend Tracker 

Conditioned monitoring and data management is playing a key role in the life of all equipment. More and more companies are realizing the benefits of preventative and predictive maintenance practices. Trending the performance of key components over time can provide advanced indication of imminent equipment failure. Key benefits:
  • Helps reduce unplanned plant shutdowns
  • Maximizes the life of your air compressor
  • Detailed history of lubricant performance
  • Repair before failure fixes typically are less costly
  • Minimizes downtime
Sakoon is an established service, with a variety of solutions and services to help control maintenance costs, manage risk, and protect customers’ investment. The Sakoon scheduled service programs ensure optimum performance and efficiency of compressed air systems. Sakoon have a German Trained and Certified Service Team to give complete peace of mind with compressed air installations.

Splash and Pressure Lubrication in Piston Compressors Piston compressors  have been around for centuries. They can be either oil-injected or oil-free, depending on the application and end use. In oil-injected models, the oil typically serves three crucial purposes: cooling, sealing and lubricating. But not all oil-injected piston compressors lubricate components the same way. There are two common methods of lubricating the pump in piston compressors: splash and pressure lubrication. Splash lubrication In splash lubrication, oil is applied to the cylinders and pistons by rotating dippers on the connecting-rod bearing caps. Each time they rotate, the dippers pass through an oil-filled trough. After running through the oil trough, the dippers splash oil onto the cylinders and pistons to lubricate them. While splash lubrication is effective for smaller engines and pumps, it’s not a precise process. Parts of the pump may be insufficiently oiled or oiled too much. The ...

Rules of Thumb

Power and installation: For every horsepower, a compressor delivers 4-5 cfm (m3/hr), at 100 psi (7 bar) pressure . A 50 HP air compressor can produce up to 12 gallons / 45 liters of water per day (with only 8 running hours daily). Air receivers should be sized about 4 gallon capacity for each CFM of compressor capacity. That's 9 liters per m3/h in metric units. For example, a small 20 cfm compressor needs an 80 gallon air receiver. Costs and energy savings: On average, compressed air costs about 30 cents per 1000 cfm (1700 m3/hr). This depends on the size of the compressor and includes electricity, purchase price of compressor and maintenance costs. A 50 HP air compressor will cost you about 25.000 dollars in electricity cost per year (at 6.000 running hours per year). Every 2 psi (0.15 bar) of pressure drop in your system will cost you 1% extra in energy cost (this adds up quickly!!!) Pressure - Rule of Thumb Lowering Compressor Inlet Air Temp...

Using Compressed Air? Think again!

Using Compressed Air? Think again! We know this might sound strange from a guy who's all about compressed air... ... but did you ever wonder WHY and IF you really need to use compressed air? It might have been a very bad decision to make use of compressed air for your tools, machines, actuators, etc. Sure, some applications DEMAND compressed air. It's simply the only real option for it. And we know, compressed air and has many upsides: compressed air tools are very powerful they are safe to use can operate in very dirty environments are cheaper compared to their electrical counterparts can last a lifetime. I love all the benefits that using compressed air for your application brings.. but there is one very big downside.. Compressed air is EXPENSIVE. Very expensive. In fact, it's 7x - 8x more expensive compared to electricity. We talked about the cost of compressed air. And here's an example that shows exactly how and why using compressed...
