Frequently asked questions
What is the regular maintenance schedule?
Typical service interval: 2000 hours for standard industrial models. Severe-duty environments (dusty, high heat) require service at 1000–1500 hours.
Can I install the compressor outdoors?
We recommend indoor installation in a ventilated room. Outdoor units require a weatherproof enclosure and protection from rain, snow, dust, and extreme temperatures.
What are the installation requirements?
Adequate ventilation, clean and dry environment, level concrete foundation, proper clearance for cooling and service, and compliance with local electrical and safety codes (NEC, OSHA).
What’s the difference between reciprocating (piston) and rotary screw compressors?
Reciprocating: Lower cost, good for intermittent use, smaller airflow.
Rotary screw: Designed for 24/7 continuous operation, more efficient, quieter, more reliable for industrial production.
Do you offer oil-free air compressors?
Yes, for industries requiring 100% oil-free air such as food & beverage, pharmaceutical, electronics, medical, and laboratory applications.
