There are crucial reasons why you should service and maintain your compressor regularly, with the most common issues being piston failure
caused by wear of components, increased friction, corrosion, reduced cooling, overheating bearings and components, clogging of air
filters.
You may find that your piston compressor has low performance and higher energy result by lack of maintenance, as well as a limited operation
range; all due to the piston compressor oil oxidising over time! We have carefully selected the best compressor oil air air filter for
