Compressor Service Kits

The Correct Service Kit Depends on the Exact Compressor

Compressor model names can cover several machine revisions, so the manufacturer, full model, serial number and maintenance interval should be checked before ordering service parts.

What Can a Compressor Service Kit Include?

Kit contents vary by manufacturer, compressor type and service interval. Some kits cover routine filtration, while larger maintenance kits can include additional valves, seals or drive components.

• Air intake filters
• Oil filters
• Air/oil separator elements
• Panel and cooling-air filters
• Drive belts or belt sets
• Minimum-pressure valve components
• Thermostatic valve service kits
• Intake valve service components
• Drain valve parts
• Gaskets, O-rings and sealing washers
• Engine service components where applicable
• Compressor lubricant where specifically stated

Service Kits for Different Compressor Types

Rotary Screw Compressors

Routine screw-compressor maintenance commonly involves air filters, oil filters, separator elements, lubricant, belts and inspection of cooling, valves, drains and hoses. The exact requirements depend on the compressor model and service interval.

Rotary Vane Compressors

Rotary vane compressors use different service parts and lubricant requirements from conventional screw compressors. The full model and serial number are particularly important when identifying Hydrovane and other vane-compressor maintenance components.

Piston Compressors

Piston-compressor servicing may include air filters, belts, lubricant, valve components and gaskets. Kits should be matched to the compressor or pump model rather than receiver capacity alone.

Engine-Driven Equipment

Petrol and diesel engine-driven equipment can require separate maintenance for the compressor and the engine. Confirm the engine model as well as the compressor model when selecting Honda or Yanmar parts.

Genuine, Manufacturer-Approved & Compatible Service Parts

The range may include genuine manufacturer parts, manufacturer-approved items and compatible service components. The applicable product type should be confirmed from the individual product listing.

Compatible products should still be correctly matched to the compressor specification, dimensions, filtration requirements and operating conditions.

Compressor Service Intervals

There is no single service interval that applies to every compressor. Maintenance frequency depends on the manufacturer, machine model, lubricant, running hours and operating environment.

Calendar-based maintenance may still be required where annual running hours are low, as filters, seals and lubricants can deteriorate over time. Dust, high ambient temperature, long operating periods and poor ventilation can also affect maintenance requirements.

Compressor Lubricant Compatibility

Compressor lubricant contributes to lubrication, cooling, sealing and contamination control. The correct oil type should be confirmed from the compressor manufacturer's specification.

Before changing lubricant, confirm the existing product, viscosity, service interval and whether the proposed lubricant is compatible with the separator, seals and compressor design.

Compressor Servicing & Maintenance Support

Compressed Air Systems UK also provides planned servicing, preventative maintenance, repairs and breakdown support for industrial compressed-air equipment.

Service visits can include wider inspection of the compressor and associated equipment rather than simply replacing routine filters.

• Operating temperature and pressure checks
• Oil leak and hose inspection
• Cooling airflow and contamination checks
• Drive belt and coupling inspection
• Electrical connection and motor checks
• Condensate drain inspection
• Air dryer and line-filter checks
• System pressure-drop and performance checks
