Lubricate, wipe, and tighten up in advance. fix before the device breas down

Perhaps you do know that you need to replace your car engine oil every 3,000 miles. But everybody does not change engine oil exactly every 3,000 miles. Of course, you would have thought to change every 3,000 miles, but because of this and other reasons, you were able to put off 4,000 miles, and then you changed your oil for a few thousand miles. Regular maintenance of plant equipment is like changing engine oil every 3,000 miles and rotating tires every 6,000 miles. By doing so, the car moves more smoothly, extends its life span, prevents larger failures, and can spot problems beforehand by such maintenance. Like replacing engine oil, maintenance can be done periodically now or later. However, the more neglected the periodic maintenance, the greater the risk that there will be more problems later on. It is not just a car or laundry equipment, but a common truth that applies to everything in our lives.

Spare time to fix

For laundromats whose lives depend on their laundry equipment, nothing will be as important as plant maintenance. If the dry-cleaning machine or finishing equipment fails, the work schedule is postponed and the plant operation is completely shut down, which can be a huge loss. Most of the maintenance needs of plant owners are preventative. We should fix it before the breakdown through regular maintenance. When a laundry machine breaks down, it is best to call the equipment vendor or independent mechanic through whom one purchased the equipment, often costing a lot of money and time. Thus, it is best to look at the dry-cleaning plant before it breaks down as much as possible. These preventive maintenance programs can reduce equipment failures by 30%, extend equipment life, plan downtime, and prevent major failures. It can also reduce the time required for equipment maintenance, reduce part inventory by more than 30%, and make the plant cleaner, safer and more efficient. Unfortunately, most plant owners have neglected equipment management that they do not have time. One equipment supplier says, "Most of the time, I do not care until it breaks down." "Why need for maintenance when it's still working well?" A lot of work is also another cause. Keep turning the machine on for 6 days a week, not to spend your spare time on Saturday or Sunday. The idea of neglecting such maintenance may be fine right now, but the idea of "not touching a machine that has not broken yet" has more damage in the long run. One of the laundry industry advisors says, “I honestly do not know what to advise the person who is putting off maintenance”, and he also noted that "Periodic equipment management makes a big difference in equipment life. Boiler life can be increased by 20 years with a simple difference of adding water treatment and blowdown every day. "

Read equipment manuals

Manuals are like blueprints for setting up maintenance program schedule. It tells how often it should be inspected and lubricated. No single component in dry-cleaning plant does not require regular checkup. Everything for checkup is right there on the manual. Daily checkup includes inspecting on distilling device, blowdown of air compressor, checking the amount of oil and adding up if needed, inspecting and fixing air, steam, or perc leakage. It is recommended to clean up draining all the water in water tower, manage conveyer belt and lubricate press for twice a year. One expert said that the biggest problem is that most of business owners are too careless about manuals, even though much can be prevented by paying attention to the manuals.

Set up plant maintenance schedule

Plant maintenance requires some knowledge on machinery. Without precise understanding on machinery, do not try to do maintenance on your own. Since devices are getting more and more developed these days, trying to handle them on your own will only result in much bigger trouble. Call in equipment vendors or individual mechanics for maintenance if needed. But in case of small stores, owners often have troubles with costs so they get to do maintenance on their own often times. Then, the most important thing is to set up maintenance schedule and sticking with it. You can either keep a big calender on the wall or use scheduling program on computer. Keep detailed records of maintenance along with the schedules.

Keep clean.

플랜트 정비 프로그램의 4가지 원칙은 검사, 윤활, 기 록 그리고 청결이다. 플랜트를 깨끗하게 유지할 때 장비 정비도 쉬워진다. 예를 들어 파이프나 필터, 기계 뒤 등 부위에 먼지와 린트가 수북하게 쌓여 있다면, 당장 보기도 흉하지만, 장비 과열을 가져와 수명을 단축할 수 있다. 사람이나 기계나 깨끗할 때 더 일을 잘한다는 평범한 진리를 잊어선 안 된다.
4 main rules of plant maintenance is inspection, lubrication, record, and sanitation. Maintenance gets a lot easier when plant is sanitarily maintained. If too much dirt is piled up on pipes or filters, then it is not only messy but also it causes excessive heating in equipment and therefore shorten the life span of the machine.

Saves money after all

It is very wrong to think that maintenance is only time-consuming. Though it may be troublesome first, if you do it regularly, then it becomes routine. The maintenance program will boost up equipment capacity and work efficiency which will all lead to dropdown of conking frequency and cutdown of costs.
