Maintenance GuideWeekly maintenance of Atlas Copco air compressors
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:

Kobelco 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.

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.

The phenomenon of water mixed with compressed air output of Hitachi air compressors is a common problem, affecting compressed air quality and system performance. Water in compressed air can cause many serious consequences such as rusting equipment, reducing lubrication efficiency, and reducing product quality. Below, Minh Phu would like to share with you how to overcome the above phenomenon.
Maintenance GuideLow pressure in the Hitachi air compressor air system
Pressure in the Hitachi air compressor system is the result of supply and demand of compressed air. When you use a lot of compressed air, the pressure will drop. The control system will try to compensate by generating more compressed air. When you use less compressed air, the pressure increases. When the pressure increases to the maximum set level for the air compressor, the compressor will stop generating air. At this time, the machine will switch from load mode to idle mode. So what causes low pressure in the air compressor system?
Maintenance GuideHandling when Hitachi air compressor cannot start
At the beginning of your shift, you press the start button for the air compressor but do not see the signal that the machine is operating. Now you need to check the causes surrounding the air compressor. Below are the causes as well as common remedies for the above condition.
