Why Preventative Maintenance Improves Your Bottom Line
May 17, 2017
A big part of dehum is designing, manufacturing and installing new production processes or improving existing ones, using the control of humidity and creating the perfect controlled climate required for that specific application.
However, this isn’t where our job ends.
Just like your car requires an annual service, so does the equipment / machinery that we or other suppliers install. We see maintenance as the healthcare of our dehum machines and the importance of an effective maintenance programme can’t be overlooked.
Every application starts with the building of the humidity control or accelerated drying design. Here at dehum this is where just the start of the long-term relationship starts, our focus is to keep the system at 100% and our engineers help deliver this.
The dehum approach is to predict and prevent breakdowns rather than just to fix if failures occur.
So just why do we need to maintain things regularly?
1.To reduces waste and to ensure that an efficient, reliable and continuous manufacturing, business or service operation runs.
2.To ensure that all equipment required for production is always operating at 100% efficiency and quality. If equipment start to wear, it may not only affect productivity but also product quality.
3. Daily inspections and more thorough annual servicing can detect any minor problems before they become major issues.
4. To reduce or preferably eliminate any Health & Safety risks that could be associated with machinery that has an undiscovered fault or issue.
The cost of a machine breakdown is difficult to measure but the true cost of a machine breakdown is more than just the labour and material required for the repair. When a breakdown causes production to stop, the true cost of a breakdown is much higher.
With the focus for most businesses being on the bottom line, the cost of downtime has a big impact on profitability.
How dehum can help?
1. We can provide on-site training to your team / engineers including:
a. How to spot common faults
b. Changing filters
c. Resetting the machinery
2. Provide a Breakdown Engineer
In the unfortunate event that you do experience a breakdown, we can arrange for one of our experienced engineers to visit your site as a matter of urgency. With country-wide coverage, our aim is to have your machine back up and running as quickly as possible.
3. Service or Repair Your Machinery
dehum can service or repair your machinery as a one-off visit or you can enter into a service contract. The latter enables dehum to take on the responsibility to keep your machinery working in top condition and to detect any gradual deterioration in performance.
4. Provide you With a Range of Critical Spare Parts to Keep On-Site.
By anticipating what parts will be required and having instant access to them, will allow maintenance, repairs and breakdowns to be dealt with far more efficiently, either by our team or yours.
And in case you were wondering, yes, dehum can source parts for ALL other manufactures dehumidifiers, rotors and difficult to source electrical parts.
Keeping one step ahead of the competition has never been so important and running an efficient, reliable and safe production process is a vital part of ensuring this happens. dehum’s proactive approach will ensure your machinery is kept in perfect working order.
We would love to help you achieve this. If you would like to find out more about how dehum can work with your business, please visit our website www.dehum.com, or call 01926 882624.
