Whether your production line is stocked with new or used packaging machines, it needs maintenance. With regular use, even a pristine piece of equipment degrades over time, and neglecting to properly service it can easily turn a small problem into a major one. Eventually, decreased efficiency and performance problems turn into forced downtime and major malfunctions—all of which can be prevented with the right care. Don’t wait until something breaks to fix it. Waiting may cost you time that could have been spent working and wastes money in paying wages for downtime and lost product packaging. However, if you don’t have in-house technicians, though, who fixes your packaging equipment?
Finding Packaging Equipment Services with Your Equipment Provider
Finding the right packaging equipment services extends and even saves the performance and lifespan of your machinery. Maintaining equipment appropriately means you need someone knowledgeable about the technology on staff. Production personnel will be more focused on keeping the line running than keeping up with routine maintenance tasks. Instead of hiring dedicated maintenance personnel, consider partnering with your packaging equipment provider.
Brand-specific idiosyncrasies can make two different machines of the same type perform differently, so one-size-fits-all solutions aren’t applicable. Instead, you should seek out a specialist with highly relevant experience—if your equipment is from Hayssen, a company that only services Bartelt won’t necessarily be helpful. Instead, choose a company that offers packaging equipment services for different brands and machine types—and specifically for yours. The more they know about your specific machinery—not just equipment in general—the better they can diagnose and treat your issues. This is why you’re better off working with your specific packaging equipment provider over other manufacturers and maintenance personnel.
High Performance Packaging doesn’t only sell quality, refurbished machinery for your company; we help you maintain your equipment year round so you get the most out of your investment.
The Dangers of Skipping Maintenance
Ideally, if you’re using used packaging machines, they came from a company that refurbished them before resale. Even new equipment breaks down, though, so whether you’re using new or used packaging machines, you can’t afford to skip out on regular maintenance. Parts break or wear down, film jams, product gets caught and electrical problems unexpectedly strike. There’s simply no avoiding it, which is why you need to develop a plan for regular and preventative maintenance.
This type of servicing can prevent the forced downtime that accompanies breakdowns later on, saving you time and money in the long run. It can even prevent the catastrophic failures that threaten to shorten the life of your equipment. If you aren’t investing in packaging equipment services that include repairs, troubleshooting and maintenance, you could be forced to replace your machines much earlier than you expected. While you can order your machines from a company that offers packaging equipment services like these, you can also seek them out from contractors and consulting companies that specialize in improving production lines.
