PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE: HOW TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF YOUR PACKAGING MACHINERY

In today's industrial environment, where efficiency and operational availability are key factors of competitiveness, preventive maintenance has become an essential strategy to ensure production continuity.

At YM Packaging, We understand that a machine downtime is not only a cost, but also a loss of productivity and customer confidence. That is why our preventive maintenance plans are designed to ensure maximum performancethe security and the durability of each packaging system.

Why is preventive maintenance key in industrial packaging?

Preventive maintenance goes far beyond a simple periodic overhaul. It is a proactive management strategy that allows to detect possible incidences before they result in unplanned downtime and production losses.

Direct benefits of preventive maintenance

• Increased operational availabilitysignificant reduction of downtime.
• Cost savingsAvoid costly repairs and unnecessary replacements.
• Security and complianceequipment in optimal and safe conditions.
• Extending the life of equipmentMaximise the durability and investment in your packaging machinery.

Each packaging line has specific needs. Therefore, YM Packaging offers customised preventive maintenance plans, adapted to the type of machinery, production rate and operating environment of each customer.

Our services include a combination of scheduled overhauls, calibrations and fine-tuning, with a technical focus on continuous improvement of equipment performance.

Services included in our plans

• Scheduled reviews with specialised technicians.
• Review of critical components before wear and tear.
• Adjustments and calibrations to maintain the accuracy of the system.
• Software update and firmware in automated equipment.

Key tasks in the maintenance of a vertical packaging machine

During preventive interventions, our specialised technicians carry out a series of critical tasks aimed at maintaining the machine at its optimum operating point, among which the following stand out:

• General mechanical adjustment of the packaging machine.
• Checking clearances in structural and moving components.
• Greasing of mechanical parts (bearings, shafts, guides, etc.)
• Checking the condition of probes and resistors.
• Checking and adjusting drive belts.
• Cleaning and sharpening of cutting blades.
• Checking and bleeding the pneumatic circuit.
• Checking the condition of motors and servomotors.
• Checking and adjusting the coil brake.
• Alignment and adjustment of the forming tube.
• Checking of clamps and verification of their correct alignment.
• Checking and cleaning the electrical panel.
• Adjustment of parameters in control programmes to optimise performance.
• Software and firmware upgrades on automated equipment.

These tasks ensure the accuracy of the system, prevent premature failures and maintain a constant level of performance throughout the life cycle of the machine.
