Maintenance GuideWeekly maintenance of Atlas Copco air compressors
Hitachi air compressor oil separator has the basic feature of separating oil mixed in the air in the form of oil mist. Air compressor oil separators can clean the air source before use, increase the life of the machine, improve durability, ensure that the machinery does not corrode, rust and operate machines in the transmission line better. For the oil separator to operate effectively, it must be replaced periodically. The life of an oil filter is usually about 2000 - 3000 hours, if operating in harsh environments, this replacement may take place sooner. In the article below, Minh Phu would like to share how to replace the Hitachi air compressor oil separator.

Hitachi air compressor air filter is a part located right at the intake, with the function of protecting the air compressor from dust and dirt from the outside environment. For the air filter to operate effectively, it must be cleaned and replaced periodically. Normally we need to clean the air filter periodically weekly and monthly and should replace the air filter every 2000 - 3000 hours of use. If the environment is very dusty, you should change the air filter sooner. For OEM air filters, the air filter should not be used for more than 6 months to ensure machine operation.

During the use of air compressors, there are many problems that arise that affect the device's performance, in which air compressor leaking compressed air is one of the most common conditions. Leaking compressed air from an old air compressor that has been operating for a long time will cause the entire compressed air pump system to lose 30 - 35% of the machine's productivity. And if this problem occurs for a long time and is not resolved, it can reduce the life of the air compressor and other parts of the machine will also be affected, then spending money on maintenance and repair costs is very significant.
Maintenance GuideBad habits when using Hitachi air compressors
Hitachi pneumatic machines are an extremely important device, they will be present in almost all industries and fields such as mining production, entertainment, health, medical, and manufacturing activities today. However, not all users can know how to use air compressors according to technical procedures to ensure safety, as well as equipment with less chance of damage and unwanted incidents. To be able to minimize errors that occur in air compressors, help the machine increase its lifespan and minimize costs for machine repair and maintenance services, Minh Phu recommends that users pay attention to avoid the following habits:

Air compressor glue, also known as oil glue, is one of the common problems during air compressor operation. This layer of glue is often glued to the parts where the oil passes through such as: compressor head assembly, cooling tank, oil pipeline... It is often burnt black or varnish color, very difficult to clean.
