In order to avoid premature wear of the screw compressor and blockage of the fine filter element in the oil-air separator, the filter element usually needs to be cleaned or replaced. First time 500 hours, then every 2500 hours maintenance once; In dusty areas, the replacement time should be shortened.
You can refer to our maintenance schedule below:
Note: When replacing the filter, you must ensure that the equipment is not running. During installation, you must check whether there is static electricity in each component. The installation must be tight to avoid accidents.
Let's take a look at the replacement method of the OPPAIR air compressor filter.
1.Replace the air filter
First, the dust on the surface of the filter should be removed to prevent contamination of the equipment during the replacement process, thereby affecting the quality of air production. When replacing, first knock, and use dry air to remove dust in the opposite direction. This is the most basic inspection of the air filter, so as to check the problems caused by the filter, and then decide whether to replace and repair.

2.When maintaining a screw air compressor, how to replace the oil filter and the air compressor oil?
The cleaning of the filter housing still cannot be underestimated, because the oil is viscous and can easily clog the filter. After checking various properties, oil the new filter element and rotate it several times. Check for tightness.
(1) First, add some lubricating oil to the oil and gas barrel. See the oil level gauge for the specific amount of oil, and the oil level should be above the two red lines. (Drain the previous oil from the valve under the oil and air barrel.)
(2)Press and hold the air inlet valve, fill the air end with oil, and then stop when the oil is full.
(3)Open a new oil filter and add some lubricating oil to it.
(4) Apply a small amount of lubricating oil, which will seal the oil filter.
(5) Finally, tighten the oil filter.
The reference video for replacing the oil filter and lubricating oil is as follows:
Details to note:
(1)The first maintenance of the screw air compressor is: 500 hours of operation, and each subsequent maintenance is: 2500-3000 hours.
(2)When maintaining an air compressor, besides replacing the air compressor oil, what else needs to be replaced? Air filter, oil filter and oil separator
(3)What kind of air compressor oil should I choose? Synthetic or semi-synthetic No. 46 oil, you can choose Shell.
3.Replace the oil-air separator
When replacing, it should start from various small pipelines. After dismantling the copper pipe and cover plate, remove the filter element, and then clean the shell in detail. After replacing the new filter element, install it according to the opposite direction of removal.
Specific steps are as follows:
(1) Remove the pipe connected to the minimum pressure valve.
(2) Loosen the nut under the minimum pressure valve and remove the corresponding pipe.
(3) Loosen the pipe and screws on the oil and air barrel.
(4) Take out the old oil separator and put in the new oil separator. (To be placed in the center)
(5) Install the minimum pressure valve and corresponding screws. (Tighten the screws on the opposite side first)
(6) Install the corresponding pipes.
(7) Install the two oil pipes and tighten the screws.
(8) After ensuring that all pipes are tightened, the oil separator has been replaced.

The amount of lubricating oil that needs to be added for maintenance needs to be based on the power, refer to the figure below:

4.Controller Parameter adjustment after maintenance
After each maintenance, we need to adjust the parameters on the controller. Take the controller MAM6080 as an example:
Reference video
After maintenance, we need to adjust the run time of the first few items to 0, and the Max time of the last few items to 2500.
