Warehouse Air Compressor Preventive Maintenance SOP

Standard procedure for performing preventive maintenance on a warehouse air compressor, including belts, oil, filter, dryer, drain, and pressure release checks.

Steps

• Verify maintenance authorization and isolate the compressor
• Release trapped air pressure safely
• Inspect the oil level and oil condition
• Inspect belts for wear, tension, and alignment
• Inspect and service the air intake filter
• Check the dryer operation and condensate drain
• Inspect the pressure relief valve and related safety controls
• Record findings and escalate non-conformances
  The operator records the date, equipment ID, observed condition, parts replaced, and any deviations from normal operation. The operator escalates immediately if any of the following are found: oil below minimum level, belt damage, filter restriction, dryer failure, drain blockage, or pressure relief valve defect. The operator does not return the compressor to service until the responsible competent person approves corrective action when required.
