The importance of service and maintenance contracts: safeguarding your profitability and reputation

Read how Russell Finex’s aftermarket services can help safeguard your business’ profitability and reputation, whilst also helping to keep your sieving and filtration equipment running smoothly.

Machinery faults are often one of the main causes of delay in any industrial
manufacturing process. Now more than ever, during the uncertainty of the COVID19 pandemic it is this sort of unscheduled maintenance that is harmful to any business, as it can halt production and lead to delays that negatively affect your customers. However, practices like preventative maintenance can help to reduce the risk of further, unplanned equipment breakdown and production downtime.

At Russell Finex, onsite service and maintenance contracts are offered to customers. This includes scheduled maintenance visits, done twice a year, as well as continuous aftermarket support to help keep any production line’s equipment running optimally, protecting the customer from any unexpected breakdowns.

So, why is preventative maintenance of your machinery so important? Here are three main reasons why well carried out preventative maintenance, via service contracts, will directly benefit you and your business.

1. Increases productivity

This is one of the most important factors in any industrial manufacturing process line. Having time wasted on unnecessary machine faults is not only harmful to the ongoing process of your business where delays cost money, but to the overall output of your product. It also impacts your reputation with your customers, for example by not meeting deliveries of product due to production delays.

Knowing which equipment needs maintenance means that work and production processes can be planned more efficiently. It also means that the volume of work that can be planned ahead of time can increase, allowing for fewer unplanned stops in a production line. This will mean that the product can pass through the production line at a quicker rate, to meet customer demand.

2. Reduces overall cost

Making sure your industrial equipment is maintained, usually by investing in a service maintenance contract, is well worth the immediate investment. Fixing machines that are already broken or faulty is expensive owing to the money needed to source spare parts, and the resultant loss of money due to production downtime (such as scrapping products mid-production line due to breakdowns).

3. Protects operators

Not only will regular machine maintenance ensure that monetary and labor costs are reduced by your business, but it will also benefit and protect your operators too. Ensuring that your machines are regularly maintained – for example, checking the mesh screen in your sieving machine is in good condition or that the machine’s clamps are assembled correctly – can help to reduce the risk of potential exposure to the product, or injury due to malfunctioning equipment.
