​Avoid Major Breakdowns with Preventive Maintenance

Every machine will eventually need maintenance and repair. Important parts such as motor bearings, belts, chains, and limit switches, might need to be replaced after so many cycles from wear and tear.

Wear and tear are unavoidable, but it does not mean you have to wait for the machine to stop working before running maintenance. In fact, replacing parts and cleaning the machine on a regular basis helps keep it in good working order.

Preventive maintenance helps you avoid major breakdowns, where the machine stops working altogether and it may be days before you get it working again. Those breakdowns cost your team because they mean more downtime. Downtime is lost productivity, which impacts your business’s bottom line.

Preventive Maintenance Extends Equipment Life. The other major reason preventive maintenance for packaging equipment is so important is that it can extend the life of your machine. A poorly maintained machine may break down more often, sometimes in such a way that makes it too expensive to fix.

A good maintenance plan extends the life of the machine by keeping it in good working order longer. End-of-line packaging equipment is no small investment for most plants, so protect your investment with regular maintenance.

Good Maintenance Means Better Machine Performance. When your packaging equipment is kept clean and working properly, your team will be able to get the job done right the first time.

Well-Maintained Machine is Safer. Another way maintenance saves you time and money are by reducing the potential for injury. A poorly maintained machine is simply not as safe, leading to increased risk of injury.

Worker injuries cost you time and money. You may need to hire more people to cover for an injured worker, or you may be fined for the incident. Finally, you will also lose productivity when someone gets hurt on the job.
