Maintenance GuideAtlas copco screw air compressor replacement parts
Hitachi air compressor operating log is posted monthly. In the comments section, clearly note any abnormalities when operating the machine, because these may be the cause of air compressor errors. Please give your operating log to the air compressor experts, because more than anyone else, we understand what your air compressor needs.
TroubleshootingMaintain compressed air systems
Air-cooled radiators are often dirty due to ambient air or compressor oil. Water-cooled tanks are dirty with water pipe residue, causing corrosion and rust. Over time, the copper pipes inside the cooling tank will clog.
TroubleshootingStandard (B) in maintenance of Hitachi air compressors
As stated in the article Selecting standards for periodic maintenance of Hitachi air compressors, there are two types of maintenance standards for Hitachi air compressors: Standard (A) and Standard (B).

TroubleshootingECO MODE function of Hitachi air compressor
ECO MODE is the energy saving mode of Hitachi air compressors. When this mode is activated, the ECO MODE signal light will light up. However, you should not arbitrarily activate this mode because only machines with ECO MODE installed can use it.
TroubleshootingMaintenance of Hanshin air compressors
Air compressor pressure errors typically have the following 4 signs: The pressure sensor is disconnected, the air compressor operating pressure increases abnormally, and the air compressor output pressure decreases abnormally. In addition, another common error is that the air compressor operates but is idling (not increasing pressure).
TroubleshootingAtlas Copco Air Compressor Annual Maintenance
For air compressors, technical specifications are a brief and detailed description of important parameters such as size, voltage, pressure, capacity,... of the air compressor. Knowing how to read screw air compressor specifications is a way for you to better understand the machine you are using. If you have not read all of those parameters, Minh Phu Machinery and Technical Services Co., Ltd. would like to share instructions for reading screw air compressor technical specifications.
TroubleshootingMaintenance of Hitachi 22Kw air compressor
Using OEM air compressor oil is a solution that brings high economic efficiency and saves time because: the price of OEM oil is not as high as the price of genuine oil, OEM oil is widely distributed and has high applicability. For OEM air compressor oil, brands such as Motule, Valcolune, Catex oil or Shell oil all ensure flexible parameters and standards for each air compressor line.
TroubleshootingWhy must the Kobelco air compressor oil separator be replaced periodically?
For the oil separator to operate effectively, it must be periodically replaced in the air compressor. Replacing the Kobelco oil separator is an important step in the air compressor maintenance process. Normally, the lifespan of an oil separator is about 4000-8000 hours, but it depends on many factors such as environment, weather, installation method, frequency of use, oil filter, oil quality, etc. In the following article, Minh Phu Machinery and Technical Services Co., Ltd. would like to share how to install and replace Kobelco air compressor oil separators.
TroubleshootingMaintenance of Hanshin air compressors
The operator is the one who knows the machine status best. Ask them about the machine's condition and what happened. The machine runs weak, works but does not automatically or smoke comes out anywhere, etc. Read carefully the principle diagram and assembly diagram and then think about the above information to localize the broken area.
TroubleshootingHow to change oil filter for Kobelco air compressor?
The oil filter is an important part of the air compressor, with the role of filtering out dirt and dust in the oil when the oil returns to the compressed air system, helping the machine operate stably and effectively. Oil filters need to be changed periodically. Below, Minh Phu Machinery and Technical Services Co., Ltd. would like to share instructions for changing oil filters for Kobelco air compressors.
TroubleshootingFunctions of parts in Hitachi air compressors
The air compressor air filter is a part located right at the intake that has the function of protecting the air compressor from dust and dirt from the outside environment. For the air filter to operate effectively, it needs to be cleaned and replaced periodically.
