Complying with safety regulations
Extending equipment lifespan
Step 1: Comprehensive Safety Checks
Before beginning any testing, our technicians prioritise safety:
Power Off & Isolate: We ensure the compressor is safely shut down and disconnected from the power source.
Depressurisation: Our team carefully releases residual pressure to prevent hazards.
Protective Measures: We follow industry-standard safety protocols to safeguard both equipment and personnel.
Step 2: In-Depth Visual Inspection
Our specialists conduct a detailed visual check to spot potential issues:
Examining hoses, fittings, and seals for wear or damage
Identifying oil leaks around the compressor housing
Checking pressure gauge accuracy
Ensuring the cooling system is clear and functional
Step 3: Professional Air Leak Detection
Leaks can significantly impact efficiency and energy costs. Our approach includes:
Soap & Water Test: Applying a solution to detect leaks at fittings and hoses.
Ultrasonic Leak Detection: Utilising advanced tools to pinpoint even the smallest leaks.
Audible Inspection: Listening for hissing sounds in a controlled environment.
Step 4: Accurate Pressure Testing
We ensure that your compressor maintains the correct pressure levels:
Running the compressor to its standard operating pressure.
Monitoring pressure gauge stability and fluctuations.
Comparing output with manufacturer specifications.
Evaluating compressor cycle timing for efficiency.
Step 5: Air Quality Testing
For industries that require high-purity air, we provide specialised air quality testing:
Moisture Testing: Assessing water vapor levels to prevent contamination.
Oil Residue Analysis: Checking for unwanted oil mist that may affect operations.
Particulate Filtration Test: Ensuring air filters capture dust and debris efficiently.
Step 6: Electrical Component Inspection
We assess the electrical health of your compressor system by:
Checking wiring and connections for wear or loose fittings.
Measuring voltage and amperage to ensure consistent power output.
Inspecting the motor for performance issues, overheating, or irregular startups.
Step 7: Tank Drainage & Corrosion Testing
Water accumulation can reduce efficiency and cause damage. Our process includes:
Draining excess condensation from the tank.
Checking for rust, corrosion, and internal wear.
Recommending automatic drain systems for enhanced maintenance.
Step 8: Lubrication & Preventative Maintenance
Proper lubrication extends the life of your compressor. Our team:
Inspects oil levels and replenishes them as necessary.
Checks belts and bearings for wear and applies lubrication.
Ensures oil-free compressors are functioning optimally.
Step 9: Load Testing for Performance Validation
To ensure your compressor handles real-world demands, we:
Connect the compressor to actual equipment or tools.
Monitor performance under continuous operation.
Identify any pressure drops or overheating issues.
Step 10: Documentation & Future Maintenance Planning
We provide detailed test reports and schedule future servicing:
Maintaining a record of test results, repairs, and maintenance.
Noting recommended replacements or adjustments.
Offering a customised testing schedule based on usage and industry requirements.
