Time is Money

In today's fiercely competitive environment, profit margins are tight for the food industry. Every penny counts, and any planned or unplanned disruption in production can lead to revenue losses, unhappy customers, and resource wastage. Minimising downtime following maintenance or breakdowns is essential, as any pause directly impacts product delivery, customer satisfaction, and overall revenue streams. Industrial freezer, chiller, and ambient cooler systems stand at the core of the food industry, serving as vital components that propel production.

Drawing from his years of experience in the field, Gerard Bird, Engineering Director at Korutek Engineering, emphasises, "We recognise the crucial role of time in both planned and unplanned maintenance scenarios. Our engineers adopt a proactive and systematic approach to address customer concerns before undertaking maintenance or service tasks. To achieve optimal results with minimal disruption to production, we focus on four key areas to ensure seamless execution.

?System Details: We gather comprehensive information about the make, model, and age of the system requiring maintenance. It lets us promptly source original equipment manufacturer (OEM) spare parts, reducing on-site delays.

Production Cycle Stage | Understanding where the system operates within the production flow helps us plan maintenance activities without disrupting ongoing production processes.

Production Commitment | Whether the production line operates 24/7 or follows a shift pattern, we work closely with customers to determine the most suitable timing for maintenance to minimise interference with production. We offer the flexibility of scheduling maintenance during weekends, accommodating the convenience of our customers and striving to minimise downtime to the greatest extent possible.

Maintenance History | We review the documented maintenance history of the system, including the timing of previous services, parts replacements, and any unresolved issues. It allows us to address underlying issues effectively and prevent future problems”.
