New Air Compressor or Second Hand

When buying an air compressor, many people hesitate whether to buy a 100% new one or choose a second-hand air compressor. Whether buying a brand new one or buying a second-hand old air compressor, there are pros and cons. Next, I will analyze how to make a choice based on your actual needs and budget.

Analysis of the differences between new and second-hand air compressors

1.Price difference
Insufficient budget may be a major factor for many people to consider second-hand air compressors. The price of second-hand air compressors is usually 20%-45% lower than that of new air compressors.

2. Machine performance and service life
The service life of new air compressors is generally more than 10 years, with stable performance and the latest technology. New air compressors generally have a warranty period of 1 to 3 years when they leave the factory. If you buy an industrial air compressor from Airfler, we promise a 2-year warranty period for the whole machine, and a warranty period of up to 3 years for spare parts; second-hand equipment may have problems such as insufficient exhaust volume and pressure fluctuations due to long-term use, and the remaining service life is generally 3 to 5 years. If the previous seller did not do a good job of daily management and maintenance, you will experience component failures every now and then after buying it.

New air compressor
If you have a relatively generous budget and are adding equipment to your new production line, then I would recommend buying a 100% new air compressor. Although the price is more expensive than a second-hand air compressor, you can get your money back within 1 to 2 years.

Second-hand air compressor
If your budget is really limited, then you can consider buying a second-hand air compressor. However, before paying, you should carefully check the following:
1. Equipment condition inspection
Appearance inspection: Check whether there is rust, scratches or oil leakage on the body

Trial run test: Perform no-load and load tests to confirm whether the operating stability and exhaust pressure meet the standards.

2. After-sales service
Confirm the warranty terms: Second-hand equipment may have hidden faults, and the maintenance responsibility and spare parts supply channels must be clarified.

3. Maintenance records
