ELGi OIL-LUBRICATED PISTON AIR COMPRESSOR MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST
Keeping your ELGi oil-lubricated piston compressor in good shape is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Here’s a checklist to guide you through the essential maintenance tasks:
Read the ELGi Manual
Familiarise yourself with the instructions, safety guidelines, and recommended maintenance intervals.
Schedule Regular Inspections
Check your compressor at specific intervals. Daily, weekly, and monthly checks are common practices; adjust them based on your usage and environment.
Tighten Fasteners
Vibrations can loosen nuts and bolts. Regularly inspect and tighten any loose connections to ensure smooth operation and prevent potential leaks.
Clean Intake Valves
Dust and debris can clog intake valves, reducing performance. Clean them according to the manual’s recommendations, typically monthly or more frequently in dusty environments.
Inspect Hoses
Check for cracks, kinks, or excessive wear on your air hoses. Replace damaged hoses immediately to maintain proper airflow and prevent safety hazards.
Drain the Air Receiver Tank
Moisture accumulates in the tank. Drain it daily or as needed to prevent rust, corrosion, and water damage to downstream equipment.
Change Air Filters
Dirty air filters restrict airflow and affect performance. Replace them at regular intervals (monthly or annually) or sooner if operating in dusty conditions.
Change the Oil
Fresh oil is vital for lubrication and cooling. Follow your manual’s recommended oil change intervals, typically every 2000-4000 hours or 6 months.
Oil Sampling
Consider regular oil sampling and analysis (recommended every 250-500 hours) to identify potential contaminants and predict wear for proactive maintenance.
Separator Elements:
Oil-lubricated compressors use separators to remove oil mist from the compressed air. Inspect and replace separator elements as needed, typically with each oil change or more frequently in heavy-duty applications.
