Just
like any other equipment, a compressed air installation also requires the necessary maintenance work during its entire lifespan.
Even though maintenance costs are only about 5 to 10% of a machine's annual operating costs, failure to budget for maintenance can have
potentially disastrous consequences.
In addition, delaying maintenance on a compressor can snowball other compressed air equipment, ultimately increasing the risk of downtime
and lowering efficiency.
8 important factors in determining the maintenance budget
Because maintenance costs are relatively limited compared to other costs for the compressed air system, a maintenance budget should be drawn
up every year. You should take the following factors into account:
Type of compressors
Auxiliary equipment
Operating cycle
Installation conditions
Security levels
Energy recovery or cooling system
Degree of use
Maintenance scheduling
As you can see, the maintenance budget depends on your installation and the reliability and performance you expect from it.
Ash Air maintenance agreement
A service plan agreement can help to draw up an accurate
maintenance schedule and at the same time optimize the operation of your compressed air system. Ash Air offers several service agreements,
including a total responsibility agreement , which covers all regular maintenance, technical improvements, repairs after a breakdown and
overhauls of the machine, carried out for the agreed period with a fixed annual fee.
Prepare maintenance budget
Drawing up a maintenance budget is a piece of cake. The benefits β increased energy efficiency and productivity and longer life of the
air compressor and its ancillary equipment β ββfar outweigh the annual cost of a service agreement.
