Great video! I'm glad you filmed this process, as I bought a 5C after watching your original install! Very happy with my purchase, not cheap but great product and worth every penny! Also I was very surprised with only what looks to be 48 hours of runtime, that it needed all of that service. Good stuff, thanks for the video!!

Otherwise we (most) wouldn't have known. It's a learning process, this LIFE thing. Right? Good tutorial on a great compressor.

Beautiful machine.

My shop has a SM10 Airtower and it has been problem free except recently. Somehow the starting relay for the refrigeration motor failed (the electric coil melted the connections). After having Kaeser service come out and discovering the problem the only fix was to replace the entire refrigeration unit (motor & pump) along with all the recharging the system and so on. This was a $3000+ fix. I decided that I couldn't "F" it up worse and reconnected the coil with the proper wiring. It took a day of fiddling but the system is back up and running. If nothing else I could make a fix from the McMaster-Carr catalog. I *do* have an inquiry to Tecumseh distributors for a factory replacement, which is about $60.... It's a plug-and-play replacement and would take about 15 minutes to replace. In all, I highly recommend the Kaeser compressors: they're more money but they're (nearly) bomb-proof.

Good stuff

The hospital/research center that I retired from had over ten air compressors from this company . They always installed a pair and in two older buildings they kept one of the old air compressors for emergency back up. They were controlled thru Johnson control system that would alternate the compressors because one unit would normally run less then 35% of the time but if air pressure was to get too low the second air compressor would come on line. System allowed you to use only one compressor if other one was making g noise or running ruff. Building engineers loved that brand.

I was hoping you filmed this.

The moisture drain is absolutely serviceable, there’s a overhaul kit designed specifically to do that. He also failed to check the load/unload diaphragm. Overall he did a good job though.

What a cute machine, would be perfect at home ❤ At work I have a Kaser SK25 with external airdrier that we run on weekends if only a few machines work or as a backup together with our Atlas GA30 if our main compressor is down for service. Main compressor is AtlasCopco GA45VSD+FF ( if I remember correct). AtlasCopco is my favorite but our Kaeser works very good too. Both are very nice machines.

One would have been handy in my shop almost 20 years ago with my plasma CNC. I went with a painful trip keeping the air dry. We often run in the high 90's overnight or after a rain.

Not only can I not afford one of these units, I couldn’t afford the service fee. I live in a different world.

Cost of doing business. If you had a shop that warrants this type of machine, you work that maintenance cost into your budget. Its costly, but compared to paying a salary, like paying yourself or a skilled employee, it's not so bad! Even at a modest wage, imagine 70k annually just going out the door for one worker. You're basically paying off a luxury car each year. However much the annual service cost is at that point is a drop in the bucket- comparatively speaking. I get your point though- the average home gamer can't afford such nice things, me included 😂 I manage ~ 60 truck drivers and we pay out nearly 5 million annually in employee salary. I've learned throughout the years that if you don't spend the money to do maintenance the right way, you pay for it ten-fold down the road when your guys break down and loads fail. Then you pay more to get it fixed, and pay salary for down time, and lose money on the load. Running a business is rough lol

I perform maintenance on two systems at work. Sure, warranty isn’t there anymore, but the quote we got from Kaeser was so high that we would be able to replace the complete system every 3 years. Also, about the automatic drain cartridge, Kaeser charges more for the cartridge than a complete kit with housing and controller. So, just switch them out every second year, and you have a fresh new warranty and a spare controller and housing.

all it does is pump air?

​@@spikeypineapple552 You know absolutely nothing. Its called preventative maintence for a reason, you dont run the machine to failure then be screwed when you can't run your equipment because youve got no air. I've worked on Kaeser compressors at multiple places and they are easily the most service friendly air compressors I've encountered. They do kits and spares for everything and its all built to last. Most companies do these services in house because they have in house engineering techs, but adam isn't an engineer in a large company, hes a machinist running a small shop, so its natural for people like him to have someone knowledgeable come take care of it. So who cares if its a sponsored video, people get to watch a good tech doing his thing and businesses should promote companies that provide them with good products and service. Stop being such a whiner and don't watch if you're going to cry about it.

It is really good to remove/drive out all the old oil by compress air. The not so good is that air contains moisture, thus moisture is introduce into the system. It should have been better if Nitrogen Gas is used.

The compressed air has already gone through the built in dryer. It is dry air.

I sold various major brands of industrial air compressors for thirty years, and I can categorically say that Kaeser is a good compressor, but no better than any of the other majors such as Ingersoll Rand, Gardner Denver, Sullair, Quincy or Atlas Copco. All sell variations of the packaged unit that you have, but everyone in the business will admit that it's not cost-effective to buy a rotary-screw air compressor any smaller than 25 HP, because of the economy of scale in manufacturing. The packaged units, like the one you have, while taking up less floor space make the units more complicated to service than if you have a unitary air compressor, and refrigerated dryer separate. Lastly the lubricant "drain under pressure" is in no way a Kaeser unique feature, I've seen service technicians do it in all the other brands since the '70s.

Good thing you're not a wood worker you would have us watching paint dry. Maybe you'll do it after the compressor is back to running.

Atlas copco is way better

Don't you need to use the machine before it needs service? Adam does hardly any work here anymore, this thing can barely be broken in.
