Stay Ahead of the Game: The Importance of Preventative Maintenance

How Maintenance Saves You Time and Money

Many people live “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Often, they misinterpret this to mean that you should wait until a machine or strapping tool breaks to do any maintenance on it.

?While you can’t always prevent repairs, you can usually avoid major breakdowns and lost productivity by doing just a little preventive maintenance . Here’s how taking a few small steps to maintain your strapping tools can save you both time and money.

Preventive Maintenance Avoids Major Breakdowns

Every machine will eventually need maintenance and repair. For strapping tools in your workplace, tensioners, cutters, and sealers may need attention. Important parts such as motor bearings might need to be replaced after so many cycles from wear and tear.

Wear and tear is unavoidable, but it doesn’t mean you have to wait for the tool to stop working before running maintenance. In fact, replacing parts and cleaning the tool on a regular basis help keep it in good working order.

Preventive maintenance helps you avoid major breakdowns, where the tool stops working altogether and it may be days before you get it working again. Those breakdowns cost your team, because they mean more downtime. Downtime is lost productivity, which impacts your business’s bottom line.
