Is Your Compressor System Ready for Winter?

Make sure your compressor is in perfect condition to cope with particularly cold outdoor temperatures. Explore all our tips and tricks!

Protect Your Operations from Freezing Downtime—Act Now!

Winter’s plunging temperatures can wreak havoc on your compressed air system. Excess moisture can freeze in pipes, thickening lubricants and risking costly breakdowns or even total system shutdown. Don’t let the cold weather disrupt production—or your bottom line.

Winter Threats to Your Compressor

  • Frozen Condensate: Ice blockages can rupture drains, filters, and crucial lines.
  • Thickened Oil: Reduced lubrication puts extra stress on key components.
  • Difficult Start-Ups: Compressors often refuse to start when temperatures drop too low.

Even a single freeze-up can lead to thousands in repairs and lost productivity. 


Quick Ways to Winterise Your System

  1. Keep It Warm: Insulate your compressor room, seal up draughts, or add a small heater to maintain a safe ambient temperature.

  2. Service Your Air Dryer & Filters: Prevent moisture from freezing before it reaches your lines. Clean, replace, or upgrade filters and dryers to handle the cold.

  3. Check Lubricants & Oil Levels: Use winter-grade oils or closely monitor existing lubricants to ensure consistent flow and protection.

  4. Inspect Outdoor Lines: Apply heat tape or insulation to exposed components. Even a minor blockage can lead to major downtime.

  5. Book Preventive Maintenance: A professional check-up now can spare you from emergency repairs later. Better safe than sorry.
