In previous years, the use of air compressors were basically oil-based air compressors. However, with the development of technology, in some high-end fields, the disadvantages of the use of oil air compressors and the country's promotion of environmental protection have promoted the development of oil-free air compressors. Ingersoll Rand air compressors are A very useful model. Well, let ’s look at some current situations that may be caused by oil air compressors through four phenomena.

There are disadvantages of oil air compressor
1.Dirty air piping
Once mixed with substances such as bacteria, it will also cause health problems. Check the inside of the air piping. The dirty inside of the piping is beyond expectations. In the "gas" -like dirt formed by rust, oil, moisture, etc., mixed bacteria can be seen.

2.Smell in the factory
It may be a strange smell from the compressor oil. Including air cylinders and solenoid valves, many air compressors are used in production equipment.
The compressed air from the power source of such air compressors is mainly used to "exhaust" the production site through solenoid valves. The air compressed by the oil-filled compressor contains the odor emitted by the compressor oil.

3, worry about drainage
This is an issue closely related to cost control and environmental protection. Oily water is excluded from oil-filled compressors, and this oily liquid must be handled properly
Properly dispose of oil by using a drainage treatment tank as industrial waste
Relevant regulations: Law on Prevention of Water Pollution, Law on Prevention of Marine Pollution, Law on Countermeasures against Soil Pollution, Law on Sewers, and laws related to waste disposal and cleaning

4. Frequent equipment failures
For example, in the winter morning, production equipment is not running smoothly. In the winter morning, the production equipment does not run smoothly. This is due to the fact that the compressor oil flowing into the air compressor such as the solenoid valve and the oil cylinder has a solidification site due to the low temperature at night.

As the temperature inside the plant and the production equipment itself rises, the production equipment will start again. The most precious time of the "morning" day is occupied by troubleshooting. I wonder if this has happened to your company?
