Stable air pressure, steady airflow and quieter, continuous-duty
operation are just a few of the advantages you get with FS-Curtis rotary screw
compressors. These smart, compact units also offer better air quality with less
oil carryover than reciprocating models. Intuitive controls and diagnostics
make them easy to use and service, too. It all adds up to an extremely reliable
machine that can run 100% continuous duty, delivering more airflow and better
efficiency in a space-saving design — making the Nx Series ideal for
automotive, light industrial and other applications that require reliable
performance in demanding conditions.
Compact in design, robust in power, the Nx’s smooth, quite
operation is ideal for a wide variety of applications ranging from auto body
shops to light industrial.

This blog post is going
to hopefully answer some of the basic questions about air compressors and air
compressor service. Do your research before you buy or have your
compressor service. Consult your
compressor manufacturer before attempting any repair or maintenance. Each compressor is
different so you should always consult the manufacturer of your compressor
brand should you need expert advice. Having said that, here are the most
common asked questions.
1. How often should you
service your compressor?
PISTON COMPRESSOR
 |
| air compressor repair |
The process and regularity of compressor
service and maintenance depends on the machine. For example,
a compressor using petroleum-based oil (piston/ reciprocating
compressor) needs an oil-change every 500 hours of service. A good oil for
these machines is a high grade teresstic ISO 100 oil...30 weight oil.
Now, if you do the math...you run your compressor 8 hours per
day X 5 days= 40 hours. At that rate, you would probably need to change
your oil out ever 3 months. Depending on the environment inside your
facility, you might need to change out the air filter too.
1B. Do
all piston compressors take the same air filter?
ANSWER: NO..There are hundreds of
different brands and probably hundreds of different air filter
manufacturers. But, many of the big brands do share the same air filter
sizes and dimensions.

2. How often should you service a rotary screw
air compressor?
Answer: You should definitely check
with the manufacturer. Your compressor may require
food grade oil or it might require synthetic oil.
Typically, most rotary screw air compressors require service every 2,000 hours/
every 4,000 hours and every 8,000 hours. They require different types of
service at these milestones. Some rotary screw compressors require that
you change out the air filter and oil filter every 2,000 hours while other
manufactures suggest that you also change out the oil every 2,000 hours.
You may need to change out the separator every 4,000 hours and just change out
the oil every 8,000 hours. Each manufacturer has their own requirements
and typically the suggested routine maintenance stickers can be found just
inside the cabinet door. A good rule of thumb is to follow these
suggested routine service in-order to keep your warranty on the compressor.
So, you ask yourself, why is it
so important. Oil is oil and it's cheap! I can afford to change out
the synthetic rotary oil every time the service light comes on. Well...Rotary screw oil is NOT CHEAP!!!!!!!
 |
| rotary screw maintenance service |
Rotary screw machines can
take anywhere from 4 to 50 gallons of oil depending on the size and horsepower
of your machine. The typical cost of OEM rotary screw 5 gallon pail of
oil can vary.
Ingersoll Rand: $6500+
Atlas Copco:
$650+
Kaeser:
$600+
Quincy:
$650+
Curtis:
$550+
Champion

| air compressor oil |
Of course, you can always shop around and buy
some generic oil off the internet and save your company some money, but when it
completely destroys your machine, you may be asked to hand in your two
resignation. Also, by putting some generic oil into your machine, you
will probably void out the warranty. When you destroy the air end on your
rotary screw, be prepared to fork over thousands and thousands of
dollars.
FYI: We visited a plant in 2019 just outside
Dallas, Texas. They had a two year old Quincy 250HP rotary screw worth
around $120,000-$180,000 dollars. They let some small outfit service
their machine with some generic oil and it FLASHED!!!!!!! Nothing we could do to help them here. The
compressor was toast.....

3. Do air compressors work
in the cold?
Answer: YES and no.
Air compressor oil tends to become
thicker when ambient temperatures are cold, thus reducing its lubrication
capabilities. ... Because of this moisture, cold ambient
temperatures can lead to freezing up of these lines within
the compressor. To avoid this from happening, you might consider
leaving the compressor on all night and crack an air line inside the
building. Or you might try insulating the machine; perhaps build a small
building to keep the compressor from freezing. Rest assured, once the
weather warms up, and gets well above freezing, your compressor should work.
4. Will my air dryer work at
when at 32 degrees and below?
Answer: NO.
 |
| air compressor dryer service near me |
If the weather dips below
32 degrees Fahrenheit; you might as well turn off your air dryer.
5. Can I use regular motor
oil in my air compressor?
Answer. NO... NO...
The manufacturer usually
recommends a non-detergent 20-weight or 30-weight compressor oil. A synthetic
or standard blend can work on an air compressor if the manufacturer advises you
to use it

6. How does an air compressor
work?
Answer:
An air compressor is a device
that converts power (using an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.)
into potential energy stored in pressurized air tank. Similar to a car, a
crankcase turns, pushing pistons up and down. The valves oven and close.
The low pressure piston essentially forces the compressed air over to the high
pressure piston. The high pressure piston essentially squeezes the air
into the storage tank.

7. Do all air compressors
need oil?
Answer. Yes and no.
 |
| air compressor service near me |
For maximum efficiency, a piston chamber needs adequate
lubrication, for which oil is used. These are oil air
compressors. Oilless compressors do not need oil.
8. Which brands are the
best air compressors to buy for an automotive shop?
Answer: Definitely not
these ones!!!!!!!!
· PORTER-CABLE
· Hitachi
· Bostitch
· PORTER-CABLE
· Campbell Hausfeld
· DEWALT
· California Air Tools
Craftsman
Husky
The compressors listed above are for blowing up
tires, blowing the dirt and dust out of gutters and garage floors and for small
pneumatic tools. A perfect Christmas present for your husband or dad who
likes tinkering in his garage. These compressors are NOT heavy duty
industrial compressors. They don't have the PSI or the CFM to operate a manufacturing
facility or an automotive shop.

9. What weight oil should I
use in my air compressor?
Answer:
 |
| air compressor oil |
Typically, compressor manufacturers will
recommend a 20 weight or 30 weight (non-detergent) compressor oil.
10. How do you change the
oil in a piston compressor? Turn the unit off.
Answer.
1. Turn the power off at the fuse box and lock it
out so no one can turn the power back on.
2. Cover the unit in case of spillage.
3. Open the drain valve with an open end wrench.
4. Open the oil intake valve.
5. Insert a funnel so the oil can drain into a
bucket.
6. Drain the oil.
7. Pour the oil into the compressor making sure
that you keep your eye on the sight glass located on the pump. There is a
line in the glass. Make sure that you don’t overfill and definitely don’t
under fill.
