Keep Your Packaging Equipment Running
Periodic Maintenance Reduces Downtime and Bottlenecks
Packaging automation can be very simple or highly complex. An entry level, semi automatic case sealer has relatively few moving parts; a high speed, fully automatic shrink wrapping system has hundreds. But whether simple or complex, any piece of equipment has the potential to break down. When it comes to packaging equipment, those breakdowns always seem to occur at the least opportune moment.
Distribution centers and manufacturing facilities can ill afford line shutdowns or slowdowns due to an uncooperative case former, case sealer, or void fill dispensing system. While most repairs can be completed within minutes or hours – assuming parts are available – even a short delay can translate into thousands of lost productivity dollars.
A periodic maintenance program for your packaging equipment is one of the least expensive and hassle free insurance policies you can find to protect yourself against shutdowns and slowdowns. Our factory trained technicians inspect your equipment on a quarterly or monthly basis, keep it fine tuned, inspect parts that are subject to wear, replace worn parts, and make recommendations for optimizing the unit’s performance.
Having seen packaging equipment perform in hundreds of operations, our specialists know what to look for, and often spot problems in-house maintenance crews might overlook. In addition, when service technicians are in your facility, they can train new operators and answer questions from the staff, further enhancing your overall productivity.
If you are now using packaging equipment, please contact us to discuss a maintenance program that is right for you.
