When we speak about plant maintenance, the companies immediately think about activities that take a lot of time and money, without realizing that skipping the periodic maintenance can lead to serious problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact there is a risk of several problems that may result in sudden plant shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can you imagine the damage to production, delays in delivery and customers waiting ?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, maintenance is NOT a waste of time.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If we talk about fabric expansion joints, the scheduled maintenance must be understood as an integral part of a correct production management.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, the break of a fabric expansion joint can lead to interruption of production, or accident at the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to prevent these events, it is enough to plan periodic checks to find out any problems and intervene before they cause damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First of all, we must keep in mind that fabric expansion joints are subject to wear, especially if they are subjected to extreme working conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first signs of wear should be repaired, if possible, or replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After this fundamental premise, let\u2019s see how to carry out the maintenance, step-by-step.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For expansion joints, as well as for other equipment, it is necessary to draw up an annual maintenance plant<\/strong>, taking into account also the type of expansion joint and the condition of the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on the type of plant, a manager must be identified<\/strong> within the company and sufficiently trained to assess the state of the expansion joints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This point is fundamental and at New Componit we\u2019ll never stop repeating it: the maintenance manager of the company must communicate with the manufacturer of expansion joints<\/strong> or with the company to which it was decided to entrust the controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The timing and the type of analysis to be performed, must be defined by expert technicians, depending on the needs of the plant and the working conditions to which the expansion joint is subjected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All control and maintenance activities must be recorded in a special tab so that you can easily and quickly access this information.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Usually companies that produce fabric expansion joints sell their products with a guarantee of several years, but do not take care of their maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is therefore essential to buy the fabric expansion joints from a supplier who, in addition to the warranty, is able to support you throughout the life of his product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We at New Componit not only provide you with the product but we offer a repair and maintenance service, that prevents problems or production interruptions due to a worn joint.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For this reason, we have designed the Efficiency Box\u00ae<\/strong> that allows us to respond to every type of customer need, in order to make production systems more efficient and safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Efficiency Box\u00ae includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Want to improve comfort and performance in your plant with a tailored solution?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to carry out maintenance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. Drawing up a preventive maintenance plan <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
2. Identifying the maintenance personnel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
3. Be in touch with the manufacturer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
4. Draw up a maintenance data sheet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
5. Pay attention to the supplier<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
