Air Compressor Overhaul & Refurbishment

Compare overhaul scope, parts support and remaining life with replacement.

Service approach

Start with an honest condition and cost comparison

Compare overhaul scope, parts support and remaining life with replacement. The assessment looks beyond the reported symptom and checks the conditions that affect repair economics and controlled recommissioning in high-hour compressors.

Scope

What this service can cover

The quotation identifies inclusions, exclusions, parts, travel and items dependent on inspection.

01

Major overhaul

Strip, inspection, mechanical refurbishment, recommissioning and repair-versus-replacement assessment. For high-hour compressors, the final scope is matched to repair economics and controlled recommissioning.

02

Air-end work

Pre-removal diagnosis, controlled strip, bearings, seals, measurements, rebuild or exchange assessment. For high-hour compressors, the final scope is matched to repair economics and controlled recommissioning.

03

Drive and motor

Belts, coupling, alignment, bearings, contactors, overloads and motor current checked as applicable. For high-hour compressors, the final scope is matched to repair economics and controlled recommissioning.

04

Cooling and ventilation

Coolers, fans, thermostatic control, room airflow and hot-air recirculation checked. For high-hour compressors, the final scope is matched to repair economics and controlled recommissioning.

05

Pressure and control

Inlet valves, minimum-pressure valves, sensors, loading behaviour and distribution losses assessed. For high-hour compressors, the final scope is matched to repair economics and controlled recommissioning.

06

Service reporting

Machine details, readings, parts, defects, actions and next service trigger recorded. For high-hour compressors, the final scope is matched to repair economics and controlled recommissioning.

When to act

Conditions that justify an inspection or service call

  • The current condition threatens repair economics and controlled recommissioning
  • Service or inspection history is incomplete for the high-hour compressors
  • The same alarm, leak or pressure problem is returning
  • Parts are only ordered after a failure
  • The site needs a planned shutdown and clear work scope
  • Management needs evidence to choose repair, overhaul or replacement

Repair decisions follow model identification, inspection and operating evidence.
