The dental compressor is an essential part of both clinics and hospitals. It's important to know how to maintain and clean a compressor.


Below are the knowledge points:

1. Operation of a dental compressor

2. Cleaning methods for the dental compressor

3. Maintenance of the dental compressor


Dental compressors are widely used in medical fields to supply clean and sufficient air for medical equipment. Let us now learn how to maintain, clean, and operate a dental compressor.


1.Operational instructions for the dental compressor

(1) The dental compressor operation should be watched for a long time after the initial start. You must then turn the car around to see if there are any abnormal noise phenomena, collisions, or stuck.

(2) The dental compressor should be turned on in a state of no load. Once the normal operation is complete, the compressor can then be switched to Load mode.

(3)The dental compressor should be inspected regularly after normal operation. Variou3s instrument readings can also be monitored and adjusted at any time.

(4) If the dental compressor encounters any of the following, it will immediately stop the machine to investigate and eliminate the problem.


2. Cleaning method for dental compressor

The long-term operation of dental compressor will cause the equipment to be blocked by scale, which will reduce the efficiency, increase the energy consumption and shorten the dental compressor life.If the scale can not be removed in time, will face the risk of equipment maintenance, shutdown or scrap replacement.Long traditional cleaning methods such as mechanical method (shave, brush), high pressure water and chemical cleaning (acid) on a lot of problems: when washing the dental compressor can not completely remove scale and other sediments, and causes corrosion of dental compressor, the residual acid on the material corrosion or corrosion under the scale, eventually led to the replacement equipment, in addition, the cleaning liquid is toxic, need a lot of money for wastewater treatment.Enterprises can use efficient environmental protection cleaning agent to avoid the above situation, it has the characteristics of high efficiency, environmental protection, safety, no corrosion, not only good cleaning effect and no corrosion to the dental compressor, to ensure the long-term use of dental compressor.Consider adding wetting agent and penetrating agent, can effectively remove water equipment produced by the most stubborn scale (calcium carbonate), rust scale, grease, sticky mud and other sediments, and won't cause harm to human body, not of steel, copper, nickel, titanium, rubber, plastic, fiber, glass, ceramics and other material cause erosion, pitting and other harmful reactions such as oxidation, can significantly extend the service life of dental compressor.


3. Maintenance of the dental compressor

(1) Turn on the dental compressor to check if it is operating normally. Stop the dental compressor after normal pre-rotation to prepare for maintenance.

(2) Stop the dental compressor and cut the power. Next, you will need to maintain it with the principle "difficult after easy". Take out any parts that are damaged or worn, and compare the sizes.

Once you confirm the authenticity, begin to disassemble the parts and screw replacement.

(3)Built in oil core. Clean the oil cover and add good lubricating oils. Separate the lid, diagonal screw.

To prevent oil dripping, the oil filter must be tightened using an oil filter wrench

(5) Clean the air filter shell and place the clean filter inside.

(6) Check again to make sure that left and right screws have been tightened.

(7) Turn on the engine and observe oil levels, pipeline interfaces, and any leakage phenomena.

(8)Overall test the unit for 10-20 minutes. Clean up oil and accessories before you leave.
