Tech Tip: Once your compressor is up and running, perform regular maintenance to prevent future problems

Aug. 26, 2019
Non-standard or “will-fit” parts can expose equipment to unnecessary wear and tear that can lead to downtime and higher operating costs.

Proactively protecting a compressed air system is as essential as selecting the right equipment in the first place. Sticking with the original manufacturer (OEM) parts is the safest way to lessen the likelihood of premature compressor failure. Non-standard or “will-fit” parts can expose equipment to unnecessary wear and tear that can lead to downtime and higher operating costs.

Ingersoll Rand offers flexible service programs customers can purchase to have expertly-trained technicians implement the service, repair, and maintenance of all compressed air assets in their shops. For instance, the Ingersoll Rand PartsCARE Service Program ships customers the necessary consumable parts on a schedule tailored to their annual equipment operation. Ingersoll Rand keeps track of the service requirements, and customers don’t have to worry about forgetting maintenance schedules that could potentially void a warranty.
