All-electric maintenance equipment has no hydraulic fluid to leak

Computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) have come a long way in the last several years. 2022 holds advancements to help maintenance teams get even more benefit from the software.

Data is valuable because it helps manufacturers make better decisions. But there’s a big difference between collecting data and being able to actually use it. If you don’t have a system in place to be able to understand what the data is telling you, then you’re going to be overwhelmed by it.

When it comes to maintenance in food and beverage processing facilities, we’ve come a long way. 

PitMaster II is designed to help facilities save energy and keep out contaminants by providing a seal at the “fourth side” of the loading dock opening. 

Lite-N-Tite upright brooms are made with a patented heat-fused fiber design to eliminate premature fiber fallout and areas for contaminants to collect. 

No food and beverage (F&B) company can afford unscheduled downtime.  

The term First Time Fix Rate (FTFR) indicates the percentage of the time that a system manufacturer is able to correct a customer’s equipment issue on the first visit, without the need for a return visit after obtaining additional expertise, information, or parts. For a company with a downed printer that is holding up production, the ability of a supplier to solve the problem quickly is a primary driver of customer satisfaction. As a result, FTFR is an important measurement of the quality of an equipment manufacturer’s service capability, which can in turn be a strong selling point for the company’s systems.

While not every pumping application in the food and beverage industry may equate in value to critical process points in a petroleum refinery, failure of a key pump, however, can still have a catastrophic impact on production. And, probably for many facilities, pumps may not be top of mind for most managers. However, pumps handling water recirculation in aquaculture facilities, maintaining flow in CIP systems, bringing in fresh water for use as an ingredient or handling wastewater can represent a critical stop to production should they break down.
