General condition
Visual inspection, guarding, fasteners, damage, corrosion, leakage, contamination and abnormal wear.
Planned maintenance
Service visits that reduce avoidable stoppages.
Planned maintenance reviews machine condition, wear items, settings, visible damage and practical steps to improve day-to-day reliability.
Maintenance scope
Checks tailored to the machines on site.
Each visit is tailored to the machines on site and follows the relevant machine manuals and safety procedures.
Filling machinery
Nozzles, seals, O-rings, tubing, hoses, valves, anti-drip operation and cleaning access.
Capping machinery
Chucks, gripper belts, cap feed, torque wear points, closures, adjustment points and changeover settings.
Labelling and coding
Label path, rollers, belts, sensors, wipe-down parts, presentation, tracking and print/apply elements where applicable.
Sealing and wrapping
Heat elements, sealing wires, PTFE tape, blades, film path, jaw condition and seal quality indicators.
Conveyors and controls
Belts, slats, guides, transfers, air leaks, regulators, cylinders, sensors, switches and visible cable or hose damage.
After the visit
Clear recommendations for follow-on work.
A planned visit can identify recommended spares, consumables, wear parts, repairs, settings review, operator training, upgrades or further inspection.
1
Inspect and adjust
Review condition, settings and obvious wear points during the planned visit.
2
Report findings
Provide a written summary or service report with practical recommendations.
3
Plan next actions
Quote or schedule required parts, consumables, training or repair work.
Want planned maintenance built into support?
Standard and Premium contract levels include planned maintenance visits as part of the annual support cycle.
Agree what the maintenance visit should leave behind
List the machinery in scope and the records available for each machine. Identify recurring observations, known wear concerns and any planned product or format changes that should be discussed alongside routine service work.
Ask how findings, work completed and recommendations will be reported. Keep work that was inspected or completed separate from additional work still requiring approval, parts or another visit. The record should make that distinction clear for the person responsible for the machine.
- Visit scope
- Confirm machine identities, access arrangements and any production constraints.
- Open recommendations
- Name an owner and next step for items that remain outstanding.
What makes the service report useful after the visit?
A report should let the site identify the equipment, understand what was examined or done, and distinguish completed work from recommendations or unresolved observations. Agree the required reporting detail in advance.
