Everything you need to know about Machinery Servicing for Manufacturing Facilities

If you’re in food, beverage or pharmaceutical manufacturing, machinery servicing is vital to keeping your business working at its optimal.

 

When we think of servicing, we often think of the car we rely on every day. We know how important it is to regularly service our vehicle and never think twice about taking it in for a once over at the mechanics. Servicing manufacturing equipment is no different! In fact, considering your livelihood is riding on it, machinery servicing is an integral part of your business’ operational strategy and programmed maintenance schedule.

 

Your business has invested heavily into the machinery and equipment it needs to run your manufacturing facility and whether you’re in food manufacturing, beverage manufacturing or pharmaceuticals, this equipment makes up some of the most expensive and important assets of the business.

 

And there are a range of benefits to your business as a result of implementing industrial maintenance programs:

  1. Reduced downtime, increased reliability – Breakdowns mean delays and even complete halts to manufacturing which naturally costs your business dearly. Your business is relying on your equipment to continue operating, so let’s make sure it really can be relied upon.
  2. Increased production and optimal efficiency – Regular industrial equipment maintenance services ensures that every part of your manufacturing line is working at its best. This means your facility will be operating at maximum throughput and maximum production.
  3. Increased lifespan – By servicing your machinery regularly, you’re more likely to pick up small issues, before they become major ones. And this can mean that your equipment will last longer and save your business from constantly reinvesting into new business assets.
  4. Increased safety – It goes without saying that the safety of your staff is paramount and when machinery breaks down it can often jeopardise the health and safety of your personnel. It’s just not worth the risk and can even cost your business in terms of legal payouts.

 

Here at ONJ Services, we do offer an emergency breakdown service and can even guarantee we’ll be out to help you within 2 hours. But wouldn’t it make more sense to avoid some of these breakdowns wherever possible? Including programmed industrial maintenance as part of your operational plan is vital.
