According to the law of market competition, what exists is reasonable, while what is unreasonable will gradually be eliminated by the market. Therefore, the long-term high maintenance costs of a large number of air compressors in the market inevitably have their rationality and objective reasons for existence, which requires practical analysis in combination with industry development and equipment procurement management concepts. Below, Sikeluo editor will introduce to you the methods and measures to reduce the maintenance costs of air compressors
1. Strengthen equipment updates and technological upgrades
The development of modern technology, the updating of air compressor equipment, and the application of new technologies have significant effects on improving the operational reliability of equipment and reducing maintenance costs. At present, many companies still have air compressor equipment from over a decade ago, with outdated technology, low production efficiency, cumbersome operation, and expensive spare parts. Some of these old equipment must be phased out, while others can undergo technological upgrades, which will significantly reduce maintenance and spare parts costs.
2. Ensure the quality of spare parts and components
The quality of spare parts directly determines the service life of the machine, the reliability of the equipment, and the scope of maintenance. High quality spare parts can not only help maintenance personnel solve faults in a timely manner, but also improve the reliability of the entire system, extend the service life of related components, and improve the overall performance of the equipment. On the contrary, low-quality spare parts not only fail to solve the problems that occur in the equipment, but also cause new failures, reduce the reliability of the system, and even lead to major disasters. For example, if the quality of the filter element and lubricating oil we often use is not good, it can cause blockage, overheating, wear and other faults. Not only does it have a short service life, but it can also cause the equipment to stop when it should not be stopped, which is prone to production accidents.
3. Strengthen the management of replacement spare parts during maintenance
In the troubleshooting of air compressors, especially when users perform maintenance and upkeep themselves, it is common to encounter situations where one spare part is damaged but the other is replaced, or the equipment needs to be adjusted but the spare part is replaced, resulting in waste. The reason for this phenomenon is the lack of corresponding supervision mechanisms in spare parts management, and maintenance workers are not responsible for the quality of the replaced spare parts. This requires establishing a mechanism to make each repairman responsible for the spare parts they replace, ensuring that the replaced parts are indeed damaged. The replacement of spare parts shall be reviewed by an appraisal team composed of relevant personnel. If no damaged spare parts are found and replaced, the replacement person shall be punished. The appraisal team is responsible for the appraisal results and will strictly punish those who intentionally conduct erroneous appraisal for personal gain and fraud, so as to solve the problem of easy replacement of spare parts.
There is still a problem in practical operation, which is that maintenance personnel are unable to determine the degree of damage to spare parts. For parts that are suspected to have faults during maintenance, the repairman can use replacement methods to eliminate them. If the part is normal, it must be reinstalled and new spare parts are not allowed to be used. Accurate records should be kept of replaced spare parts, and supervision of spare parts should be strengthened. Usage records should be kept, and the average service life should be calculated to reduce the inventory of spare parts. Timely procurement should be made before the spare parts are damaged to prevent insufficient use.
