SPORADIC OR INADEQUATE CLEANING

If only sporadic, inadequate, or no cleaning of the machine has been carried out, increased abrasion should be expected, which in turn leads to the outcome, that a larger number of spare parts will be required. If these are not stored on-site, a machine downtime, lasting several days may occur.

Stefan Hibler, a service engineer at STATEC BINDER, gives an example of such circumstances: “We are assuming that our customer X, unfortunately, forgoes regular cleaning of his machine. Due to a lack of cleaning measures, natural product spillage, such as e.g. dust, or bag parts, accumulate. As a further consequence, the compressed product residues in the machine and, for example, also near the rolls of the conveyor belt.
