Proper Control Allows for Savings and Extends Equipment Lifespan

With the COVID-19 pandemic, maintenance has become a key point for keeping plants operational even without new investments. In the delicate moment we are going through, companies are much more selective about investing in new products and projects, and as a result, they are maintaining the minimum of industrial operations running.

For good maintenance to ensure an increase in the lifespan of machines, it is important to follow some guidelines. First, know that the preventive mode is planned to occur at certain time intervals. Predictive maintenance, which can also be periodically planned, uses measurements from devices to check the equipment’s condition and any potential replacement needs.

“The market is adapting to a new reality, and today more than ever, companies are realizing that maintenance is essential for the durability and quality of their products. Today, with reduced budgets, an industry with quality valves and up-to-date maintenance can save a significant part of the budget,” explains Mateus Souza, General Sales Manager of the industrial area at GEMÜ Valves, Measuring and Control Systems.

It is important to remember that each industrial profile requires a type of planning for updates and replacements. The engineer at GEMÜ also points out that errors in industrial maintenance can be harmful to the production environment.

“Poor maintenance can lead to failures or even the breakdown of equipment. Therefore, GEMÜ’s core focus is safety, both for the plant and the final product. Moreover, the impacts of poorly performed work can extend to the environment and the company’s employees,” he emphasizes.

It is essential in every maintenance process to follow the instructions contained in the product manuals or to speak directly with the consultant. Establishing assertive communication and taking the recommendations of professionals in the field seriously brings safety and peace of mind to the production process.
