Compressor Maintenance Plans That Prevent Downtime in the Mid-South

If your operation depends on compressed air, you already know: unexpected breakdowns cost more than repairs. Whether you’re packaging food in Jackson, fabricating metal in Springdale, or running a distribution center in Memphis, your air system needs to run reliably—day in, day out.

That’s why Process & Power offers custom preventative maintenance (PM) plans tailored to industrial facilities across Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi. Our goal is simple: minimize downtime, extend equipment life, and protect your bottom line.

The True Cost of Unplanned Downtime

A single unplanned shutdown can cost thousands in:

  • Lost production time

  • Overtime pay to make up delays

  • Rush part shipments and labor fees

  • Spoiled product or missed delivery windows

  • Damaged customer relationships

Preventative maintenance helps avoid all of it—while keeping your system running more efficiently year-round.

What’s Included in a Process & Power PM Plan?

Our service agreements are flexible and scalable, covering everything from basic quarterly checks to full-service monthly inspections. A typical plan may include:

✅ Routine Inspections

  • Check belts, couplings, filters, valves, and electrical components

  • Inspect for leaks, vibration, unusual noise, or pressure fluctuation

✅ Oil and Filter Changes

  • Compressor oil, separator elements, and air/oil filters changed on schedule

  • Proper disposal and documentation for environmental compliance

✅ Dryer and Drain Maintenance

  • Clean/replace dryer filters

  • Inspect and test auto drains, dew point sensors, and heat exchangers

✅ System Checks and Adjustments

  • Verify controller settings and alarms

  • Check for pressure drop, temperature spikes, or run-time imbalances

  • Review VSD operation and control sequencing (if applicable)

✅ Full Documentation and Reporting

  • Maintenance logs for each visit

  • Upcoming service reminders

  • Notes on potential future failures or upgrade recommendations

Plans Available for All Major Brands

  • Atlas Copco

Whether you operate a small shop with a single 10 HP unit or a large plant with multiple compressors and dryers, we’ll create a plan to fit your equipment and schedule.

Who Benefits Most from a PM Plan?

Preventative maintenance is a smart investment for:

  • Food and beverage producers – avoid product contamination and temperature swings

  • Medical and pharma facilities – maintain NFPA 99 and ISO compliance

  • Automotive and metal shops – ensure stable air pressure and tool longevity

  • Warehousing and distribution centers – keep packaging and sorting lines running

  • Fabrication and CNC operations – reduce costly scrap and tool failure

If downtime isn’t an option, a PM plan is your best defense.

How Often Should Your System Be Serviced?

Here’s a general rule of thumb for rotary screw compressors:

  • Quarterly service for compressors under 50 HP with light to moderate use

  • Bi-monthly or monthly for 24/7 operations or systems over 100 HP

  • Dryer maintenance every 6–12 months, depending on humidity and run time

  • Annual full inspection including motor bearings, belts, and cooling systems

We tailor the plan based on your usage, environment, and criticality.

Added Benefits of a PM Plan from Process & Power

  • Priority scheduling – You go to the front of the line for service calls

  • Discounted labor rates – Save on non-emergency visits and part installations

  • Early problem detection – Address small issues before they cause big failures

  • Detailed records – Helpful for insurance, warranty claims, and audits

  • Peace of mind – Your system is being looked after by professionals

Some customers say it’s the best insurance policy they’ve ever purchased.
