Air Compressor and Dryer Service and Repair in Evansville

Common Air Compressor and Dryer Problems

While there are many issues that can negatively impact your air compressor equipment, some of the most common ones include:

• Unusual noises. Grinding, rattling, and other unusual sounds are often the first sign that something is wrong with an air compressor. These are commonly generated by a loose or damaged belt, piston, or motor mount. If detected early, resolving the issue may be as simple as tightening a component or adding lubrication.
• Leaks. Visible air leaks typically occur in hose connections or fittings. Repairing a leak might involve tightening a loose component or replacing a damaged one. Persistent leaks often indicate a problem within the compressor’s internal seals.
• Insufficient pressure. Debris buildup and filter clogs obstruct airflow and increase the time needed to reach a desired pressure. To restore the system’s functionality, you may need to clean or replace the filter, damaged gaskets, or valves.
• Overheating. Air compressors must be placed in well-ventilated areas to ensure proper performance, with overheating indicating an issue with radiators or cooling fins. This can cause critical system damage if ignored.
• Excessive vibrations. Unusual vibrations are a common indicator of an air compressor problem. Sources of excessive vibrations may include loose internal components, damaged or unbalanced flywheels, or worn-out motor mounts. In many cases, replacing a work part or tightening a loose connection resolves these issues.

Preventative Maintenance for Your Air Compressor and Dryer

Taking steps to maintain your compressed air system before a problem occurs is essential for performance and longevity. A proper preventative maintenance schedule should involve the following:

• Scheduled maintenance plans. Our custom maintenance plans include regular inspections and part replacements. We proactively address any possible performance issues to enable dependable ongoing operations and prevent equipment failure.
• Lubrication and cooling system care. Keeping all moving parts properly lubricated can extend the lifespan of the compressor. We’ll monitor oil levels, degradation, and contamination to optimize equipment performance and prevent part wear and overheating.
• Filter replacements and system upkeep. Maintaining clean air output is a key part of compressor and dryer performance. Compromised separators or filters can lead to other issues. That’s why we recommend replacing filters at regular maintenance intervals and conducting thorough system inspections.
• Performance testing. Our technicians catch the signs of potential problems before they can grow into more costly problems by regularly assessing the performance of all parts of your compressed air system, including filters, auto drains, tanks, dryers, and more.
