Session Three: Repair or Replace? 

It’s easy to overlook the compressor on your workshop floor, and not give it the attention it needs. This can lead to costly and unexpected downtime in your production facility. Downtime of compressors can be largely attributed to technical faults, the age of the machinery, misuse by employees, external damage and poor maintenance.  

In this session, Georgia Lucas from Direct Air takes us through what signs to look out for, and whether repairing or replacing is the best solution for your facility.
