Understand Air-Quality Requirements
Compressed-air quality is vital to the health and operability of downstream process equipment. Not only is air quality vital for equipment, it may also be a requirement for the purity of your production process. Specifically, when producing consumables, purity is key, contamination is costly. Hitachi ISO Class 0 DSP oil-free compressors are perfect for your pure-air needs and feature Hitachi’s legendary reliability, plus one of the best warranties available.
Plan for Maintenance Costs
Like all mechanical equipment, periodic maintenance will be required for peak performance. One way to determine if a system is well maintained is to baseline the system periodically. Understanding the cost of this maintenance is important. In the case of oil-free rotary screw compressors, air end replacement can account for as much as 60% of the total compressor cost. This is why Hitachi introduced an exclusive zero-cost, three-year, worry-free maintenance plan.
