Making cost savings on spares and maintenance, even on older plant and machinery, makes perfect sense in today’s competitive market, which is why Hosokawa Micron has further developed its single source service and after sales portfolio to include a suite of complementary and support activities designed to deliver cost savings efficiencies that can help build profitability into everyday plant operations.

Hosokawa Micron’s service portfolio is designed to meet individual requirements across key equipment to full process line maintenance and covers both Hosokawa Micron equipment and systems and units from many other OEMs, which means one service call from Hosokawa Micron’s experienced engineers to cover the customer’s process line, delivering a cost-effective and integrated maintenance response.

Now companies can also benefit from Hosokawa Micron’s maintenance troubleshooting service, which can flag up potentially catastrophic breakdown or system failure enabling pre-emptive action to be taken to keep production on track, on time and in profit. This service utilises the predictive technologies within Hosokawa’s Performance Improvement Solutions package, enabling Hosokawa Micron engineers to identify and monitor individual equipment that might be at risk of serious failure and use accumulated data to develop cost effective preventative maintenance planning to better protect capital assets and ensure production reliability.

With a range of other maintenance options from preventive maintenance kits for in-house maintenance teams, extensive spare parts stock holding and fast track retrieval systems designed to reduce machine downtime, annual service contracts to cover individual machines or full systems, to equipment upgrades that maintain optimum machine performance, Hosokawa Micron can offer the right maintenance package to suit and enable customers to capitalise on the benefits, in terms of both costs and plant availability, of affordable preventative maintenance.
