Compressor/Prime Mover (Motor) Flexible coupling

For the operation of the air compressor to be effective and conform to production demand, there is need for installation of a coupling between the electric motor and the air compressor.It is obvious that during the installation, a flexible elastomer coupling is used to enhance adequate operational requirement and flexibility.The main purpose of the installation of the flexible coupling is to connect two axially oriented shafts.And other advantages may include the following:
i) To transmit torque or rotary motion without slip at same time compensate for angular,axial,and parallel misalignment.
ii) There are many supplementary function which may also include:
 iii) Providing for or restricting axial movement of the connected shafts.
iv) Minimazing or eliminating the conduction of heat,electricity or tensional damping and tensioner turning system.

Location of installation of air compressor.

The air compressor installation should be located in a clean well lighted location and spaceous, enough to accomodate or allowed for dismantling of its accessories or parts when required. An overhead lifting device should be installed for positioning devices and accessories to where it may be required or positioned for regular maintenance or replacement of parts. It is imparative to provide good foundation for installation of all the devices. And also important is water drain outlet to avoid polluting the entire compressor shelter.However there is need for a prime mover for the air compressor which may be an electric motor or special designed with some factor of safety.

THE PRODUCTION PLANT PNEUMATIC SUPPLY OPTIMIZATION.

An adequate independable supply of air or pneumatic energy is always very important for their consistency and economic operation of supply of air, and other pneumatic processes including operable machineries in order to obtain the maximum overal efficiency of the compressors, a good maintenance program should be adapted.And the following steps can also be applied to eliminate the first level of the maintence task:
i) To drain the air compressors accumulated water every morning, in case it does not have an auto drain system,
ii) To check and monitor the operating temperature of the compressor and electric motor.
iii)To clean the environment for accumulated drain or debris.
 iv) To check for abnormal noise and vibration etc.

The advantages of effective energy consumption.

In some circumstance pneumatic systems may appear to be simple in construction, but in considering the work it performs by optimizing the process,there is need for adequate maintenance work culture or plan.The perfomance net efficiency of the plant enable easier flow of production and its one of the major factor for preventive maintenance work and its essential and unique application. The strategy for conducting periodical maintenance task monitors or predicted plant down time also regulate step by step systems optimization programs. why do we optimise maintenance?
 - The essence of maintenance optimisation is for reduction of maintenance cost,
through system profiling and selection of alternatives.
It enhances process system adaptation of materials by applying the availables. 
And the most tangible materials to facilitate other operable devices that are not effective. 
It can cause an uplift on the overal production output.
It can result to overal upgrading of the factory efficiency through predicted order.
but it is an essential elements and are unique and effective in maintenance change management.
