Why Dental Air Compressor Preventive Maintenance is so Important  

Dental compressors are one of the most heavily used pieces of equipment in a dental office. Compressors often run all day without anyone {including the practice owner} even thinking about how vital the they are in keeping his or her practice running. 

What we do During a Dental Air Compressor Preventive Maintenance and Why 

1. Drain compressor tank 

Have you noticed your compressor running more frequently? Have you noticed water in your air? Chances are that you could have a lot of condensation in you air compressor tank. This will increase the stress on your compressor and shorten the life of it. Medicanix will make sure your compressor is running at full capacity and the tank is emptied  

2. Change the oil  

It is critical that the oil levels are kept to the correct level and the oil is changed in order to ensure the longevity of your compressor. On a planned preventive maintenance visit, Medicanix will change the oil and ensure that it is filled to the correct levels with the highest standard of compressor oil.  

3. Belt tension calibration  

Often the drive belt is the cause for compressor failure. Ensuring that the drive belt on your compressor is under the right tension will keep your compressor from excessive wear and tear. We will adjust the tension to ensure optimal performance  

4. Inspect the electrical components (pressure switch and wiring) 

The electrical components of a Dental Air compressor are the vitals of your machine. An air compressor generally requires a high usage of energy the electrical components are a crucial part of the preventive maintenance service. We will check/calibrate the pressor switch and inspect all wiring and fuses where applicable. This will ensure the integrity of your equipment is maintained at the highest level.
