Regular maintenance will help process heating equipment run efficiently and minimize unexpected downtime. However, you may want to consider the ease (and cost) of maintenance when purchasing a new process heat system. When deciding between a “one-size-fits-all†or a custom designed system, here are a couple of things to consider:
- How much time will preventative maintenance visits take away from production?
- Is the equipment easily accessible by the maintenance technician?
- Does the equipment have access doors?
- Will the equipment withstand the test of time, if maintained properly?
- Is commissioning and decommissioning problematic?
- Does the equipment manufacturer have a Service Department? Are their technicians easy to schedule, knowledgeable and thorough?
- Does the OEM have a Parts Department to help keep equipment downtime to a minimum?
Stelter & Brinck’s process heat equipment is custom engineered, designed and manufactured to not only meet your specific heating needs, but also to be easy to maintain. Each and every Stelter & Brinck system is designed to fit your foot-print. This makes maintenance tasks easier on the operator and technician.
