There is no substitute for expertise…
Inexperienced or untrained service technicians can make adjustments to your compressor that could negatively affect your efficiency and output. 

You’ve made the investment in a quality industrial air compressor, we know you would like to see a return on your investment…

The truth is there is only one way to guarantee a maximum service life and efficiency from your machine and it’s with regular preventative maintenance. 

All too often we have businesses go to great lengths to avoid the ongoing cost of preventative maintenance, only to call up once their machine has completely shut off due to overheating or another mechanical failure.  

Resulting in repairs and operational downtime that cost more than the maintenance to begin with. In extreme cases neglected compressors can also damage other machinery costing even more in repairs and replacements…   

There is no replacement for experienced, reliable, thorough compressed air service.

What is Preventative Maintenance?

Air Compressors run for more hours than your car, in 95% applications compressors are expected to run the whole time the factory or plant is operating. Non stop in all conditions and temperatures with no faults or downtime. 

Preventative maintenance is intended to catch small issues before they turn into major problems. Simple checks can be performed by staff on a regular basis and can ensure regular operation on a short term basis. 

In order to guarantee a long service from your machine, scheduled preventive maintenance completed by a trained technician is required. Their expertise can troubleshoot more complex issues and replace components without risking any permanent damage to the machine. 

In many cases scheduled maintenance may actually be required to honor the machine’s warranty.

Why is Quality Maintenance Important?

There is no substitute for expertise… Inexperienced or untrained service technicians can make adjustments to your compressor that could negatively affect your efficiency and output. 

Experienced technicians understand your system as a whole and identify flaws in its installation and use their experience to know when certain components begin to wear down and can make recommendations to improve your systems health.

Focus Industrial’s service department only stocks the best spare parts and lubricants to ensure your machine is kept to the standard you purchased it in (or even better!).
