Preventative Plant Maintenance

Don’t Wait ‘Til it Breaks: The Importance of Preventative Plant Maintenance

You depend upon your equipment running smoothly and efficiently in order to produce the goods and services you do for your customers. When things start to go wrong, and machinery slows or breaks down, your ability to keep up with demand becomes compromised. Don’t wait until something breaks down. Preventative plant maintenance keeps your machines running at top performance and is something you should be doing regularly to ensure that nothing goes awry with your operation.

What Happens if You Don’t Do Preventative Plant Maintenance?

Without preventative plant maintenance, you may wind up taxing your current electrical load without even knowing it, which can lead to some serious problems. Your machines or power source may be overheating, and therefore working under capacity. Not only does this mean that you are producing less than you are actually capable of, but these taxed pieces of equipment are liable to break down at any time, really putting a delay on production. Even worse, they could get so hot that a fire is started, and that can be devastating, no matter how small the damage is.

What Does Maintenance Require?

Pro Circuit’s fully integrated plant and facility electrical maintenance requires a number of different things. First, we collect data from all power sources and electrical equipment and a complete analysis performed.

Next, we identify “hot spots”. With a complete scan of all electrical sources and equipment, we can easily find (and therefore fix) any area that isn’t running properly.

Areas that are running hot have too much power built up in one area. These areas can easily overheat, leading to poorly functioning machinery, breakdowns and even fires. These problems aren’t usually discovered until it’s too late, and you may need to shut down for a day or two, if not longer, while repairs are being done.

What Happens During Maintenance?

Routine maintenance ensures that your machinery is running efficiently, and allows you to be proactive if it isn’t. This maintenance includes:

  • IR scanning
  • Switchgear maintenance and cleaning
  • Power quality analysis
  • Electrical testing and commissioning
  • Planned preventative and reactive maintenance
  • Testing and commissioning services
  • Emergency repairs

If there are any issues, our experienced PLC technicians can troubleshoot them with programmable logic controls.

Preventative Maintenance Keeps Everything Running Smoothly

Preventative plant maintenance allows your facility to run as it should, with no added burdens to the current electrical system. You can keep operating as normal while our technicians perform scans and any necessary maintenance. No new lines will be run from existing panels or power sources. This will help to prevent any new issues before your next maintenance check.

Saves Time and Money

Routine maintenance checks help you save both time and money. Less equipment malfunctions and breaks down and you are less likely to suffer at the hands of a power outage. This means that you don’t have to shut your doors to perform costly repairs. You can also be assured that your machines are running efficiently, and aren’t wasting valuable electricity. More of your hard earned money stays in the pockets of you and your employees.
