A properly maintained finishing booth will last for many years, while compressors face consistent use and generally require more frequent replacement.
So how can you tell if your compressor is failing?
When you know what to look for, it can be easy to see the signs. Performance, after all, depends on consistently delivering the pressure, volume, and air quality that each step in the finishing process requires.
Look for These 5 Signs
- It struggles to keep up with demand
- It takes much longer to build pressure
- It cycles on and off excessively
- Compressed-air pressure fluctuates
- It is overheating
Ready to Replace?
If it’s time to replace your compressor, factor in future shop growth and on-demand compressed air needs. This means upgrading to an air compressor that’s the right size and can service the entire shop – not just the finishing booth. Consulting with an experienced sales team can help you assess your operation and workflow to set your shop up for long-term success.
