The machine no longer meets demand

If the compressor runs continuously to keep pressure up, the plant has probably outgrown it. That is a sizing problem, not a fault, and repairs will not solve it.

Occasional wear items are normal. Recurring failures across different components, each stopping production, point to a machine at the end of its economic life.
