Should a Membrane Dryer be installed with a pre-filter?
Yes, absolutely. The Membrane Dryer should be protected by a good quality pre-filter from particulates and oil. Ensure that your pre-filter includes a reliable and robust automatic condensate drain trap.
What is the difference between a membrane dryer and a desiccant dryer?
A membrane dryer does not regenerate itself. It's a single pass design and dewpoints fluctuate when ambient conditions alter. A desiccant dryer with twin towers, will regenerate itself by virtue of timed valves, or pressure dewpoint. The dewpoint is more reliable from a twin tower dryer, which is being serviced correctly.
What payment options do I have for a maintenance plan?
Option 1. “Pay-as-You-Go”
With our pay-as-you-go plans, prices are fixed for the duration of a one or two-year plan. Whenever we install a part or perform labour, we bill accordingly.
Option 2. Pre-paid
Do you prefer the predictability of fitting a fixed fee plan into your annual budget? We’re happy to do that. We first assess the hours your compressors will be operating, then, from the shift patterns, we estimate the required frequency of your service calls and the quantity of parts, oil, and labour required to perform those services. We divide the quoted value into the relevant number of invoices – Monthly, Quarterly, Semiannually – and bill on the first day of the billing cycle selected by the customer.
Are all of your maintenance plans the same?
No, every client’s preventative maintenance plans are tailored to our clients’ needs. They can be set up to suit any size and type of compressed air system. We can create plans for small or large piston, vane, rotary screw, and oil-free compressors, dryers, filters, drains, and condensate separators.
Because we have the largest compressed air service team in Southwestern Ontario and a fleet of rental compressors, maintenance can be scheduled any time you want, including nights and weekends. You’re the boss here. Tell us to jump and we will ask “how high?”
How much does a preventative maintenance plan cost and how much do I stand to save?
The condition, complexity, and scale of the equipment in your compressed air system will determine the extent of coverage you need.
The amount you save is difficult to assess because it depends on the cost of subsequent downtime in your plant and the extent of the breakdown. A catastrophic failure combined with any amount of downtime can add up to significant costs.
Can I purchase a preventative maintenance plan from Air Solutions Canada for non-Kaeser equipment?
Absolutely. We service any brand, 24/7.
The ultimate guide on rightsizing your compressed air system
Choosing the right compressed air system is crucial to minimize the total cost of ownership. How do you calculate the air demand in flow rate (CFM) and pressure (PSIG), what's the power requirement (V), and how does that translate in a compressed air system with one or more compressors (hp)?
