Over the last four years I may have come across about 4-5 shattered sets. Most seem to be in the summer. Sometimes only one vane gets broke, but usually debris will break a few more or all. Have you ever used a different style of compressor? I have seen the worm screw type, but not in action. Vanes, pistons, and blowers with a few diaphrams are all that I've used. It's nice to get different viewpoints on management practices.
