KAESER has developed a new maintenance strategy for mobile compressors. To learn more about this, we spoke with Kevin Rosenbusch from KAESER Global Service Support. As a dedicated service specialist, he ensures that the entire after-sales product line and all services for MOBILAIR portable compressors meet customer requirements.

Why is now the perfect time for a new MOBILAIR maintenance concept?
With the rising cost of electricity, the total operating expenses throughout a compressor’s life cycle are coming more and more into focus. In particular, the costs of maintenance and operation are becoming increasingly important. To ensure a reliable compressed air supply, maintenance costs are a necessary component when owning a portable compressor. Proper maintenance with genuine parts truly makes a difference to the lifelong operation of a compressor. That’s why we’ve developed a new maintenance interval strategy that leads to cost savings for MOBILAIR owners while ensuring maximum performance, efficiency, reliability and compressed air quality.
What has changed exactly, and more importantly, how do our customers benefit from these changes?
New insights gained from long-term field studies have shown us that we are able to adjust the maintenance intervals on some of our parts for portable compressors equipped with combustion engines and electric motors as follows:

The table shows preventative service measures with adjusted maintenance intervals.
As you can see in the table, we have been able to extend the maintenance intervals – resulting in significant cost savings.
Are there significant advantages to using genuine parts?
That’s a frequently asked question. The simple answer is: Yes, there are. Because only genuine spare parts will have been rigorously tested by KAESER with the compressed air equipment. And, only genuine spare parts have been designed to meet the demands of the applicable operating conditions and quality tested to ensure the best possible performance. This applies to:
- Specific pressure and delivery volume
- Specific compressed air quality
- Energy and operating efficiency
- Ease of maintenance
- Frequency of maintenance intervals
- Compressor service life
A portable compressor is a combination of individual and interconnected components. Efficiency, performance, reliability and compressed air quality largely depend on the overall quality of these individual components. Furthermore, regular maintenance ensures that the compressor delivers excellent performance throughout its entire lifespan. Using genuine replacement and maintenance parts is the only way to maintain the integrity of the compressor’s original design, to benefit from maximum performance throughout its entire service life.
Does extending these maintenance intervals mean that the performance of the compressor is compromised in any way?
No, not at all. Based on our long-term observations, we can assure our customers that these extended intervals have no negative impact on efficiency, performance, reliability or compressed air quality. Quite the opposite in fact, this new maintenance approach is about combining higher-quality genuine parts with added benefits.
Average time saving
with our new maintenance strategy over a 6-year period
With these new service intervals, we can help our customers save up to 50% on maintenance material costs and up to 35% on labour costs over a six-year period. This has a significant impact on the total cost of ownership (TCO) calculation. Furthermore, our customers benefit from additional cost savings such as reduced disposal costs and a decreased CO2 footprint.
24-hour service
Compressed air needs to be available all day, every day, which is why our service technicians and replacement parts are on standby for emergencies 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
