Importance Of Preventative Maintenance

by | Oct 15, 2024 | General News

At SCS UK, we understand the importance of our customers having reliable machines that last for a number of years. 

One of the best ways to ensure that your machines will run smoothly is to schedule preventative maintenance visits.  We recommend that this should be done annually.  To put it into more everyday terms – it’s the same idea as annual servicing for your car. 

Why is this important?  Machines have moving parts.  With regular use, some of these parts will need to be replaced on a regular basis – most commonly bearings and timing belts.  During a preventative maintenance visit our engineer will carry out a full check of your machine.   Our engineer will advise of any parts that show wear and tear.  These will be replaced with your agreement if they are deemed unfit for another year of operation. 

Annual preventative maintenance visits mean that you will have less unscheduled downtime – potential problems are identified and rectified before they become a problem that effects your production.

As part of the visit, our engineer will carry out a full calibration of your machine.

If you haven’t already signed up for a Service Contract, we would encourage you to look into this.  As well as having peace of mind that your machines will be serviced annually, you will benefit from discounts on work and parts, as well as priority support between service visits.
