At some point in production, has your weighing system not been working properly or was simply not working? Have you ever had to stop production longer than strictly necessary?
If the answer to either of these two questions is YES, the time has probably come to consider preventive maintenance for your equipment.
What is planned preventive maintenance?
Planned preventive maintenance is known as the programming of inspections, verifications, safety, adjustments, calibration, repairs, analysis and cleaning and lubrication, which must be carried out periodically based on a pre-established plan, and not that these are must be carried out due to a specific demand from the user (this would be corrective maintenance).
The fundamental purpose of preventive maintenance is to inspect the equipment and detect possible failures in their initial phase, correcting them at the appropriate time, before they affect their production.
Advantages of preventive maintenance
The equipment works in better safety conditions, since its status is known.
Decrease in downtime since equipment stops are fewer.
The workload of the maintenance staff is uniform, due to a schedule of activities.
Lower cost of repairs.
Longer equipment life.
Where does preventive maintenance start?
The preventive maintenance service begins by carrying out a correct inventory that contains the crucial data of all the equipment; its complete technical identification, record of previous incidents or repairs already carried out, compilation of the documentation of each of the equipment: correct labeling (identification, and occupational risks), language, certificates of compliance with CE regulations or similar, plans and certificates of materials and components, installation and user manuals, calibration certificates, complying with all legal requirements and facilitating the subsequent individual monitoring of each installed unit.
Why is it convenient to concentrate calibration and preventive maintenance by a single supplier?
When within a company there is a preventive maintenance service provider and another for the calibration and adjustment of equipment and instruments, there are usually conflicts of incompatibility of procedures applied to the equipment and even incompatibilities of dates for carrying out the tasks in the same moment, increasing in this case the downtime of the equipment.
It must be taken into account that the guarantees of the maintenance service are lost when the instrument is repaired by another supplier.
Another fundamental advantage is that when signing a preventive maintenance contract for a determined duration (6 months, 1 year, 2 years, etc.), Dinaksa Pesaje will notify the client in good time of the revision deadlines, delivering the certificate that the accredit
It is also possible to contract a plan in which any repair is carried out without cost in labor, in which the client will only have to pay the cost of the spare parts, which ensures significant savings in equipment repair costs.
