Tip 1: Keep a schedule for preventative maintenance to avoid small issues growing into larger ones. Any maintenance program should include condition monitoring, which includes checking the machine's temperatures, vibrations, and oil levels. Downtime is kept to a minimum and issues are quickly identified.
Tip 2: Combine autonomous maintenance tasks with the preventive maintenance schedule. The best people to perform specific maintenance tasks on a machine are the operators. A decrease in planned and unforeseen shutdowns, as well as longer production times, are some advantages.
Tip 3. Understanding your spare parts list means always having the correct spare parts available. In the packaging industry, machines always work hard, and experience teaches which parts need more regular changing than others.
Tip 4. Your company's standard operating procedure should include regular training. It enables operators to comprehend how the device functions and the function of each component. They will detect problems with the filling of parts or products early, reducing production line downtime.
