Food Production Machinery Servicing and Maintenance

Our food production machinery maintenance service is designed to maximise production uptime and minimise costly breakdowns. With over 15 years’ experience working with food companies, we have extensive expertise covering a wide variety of food processing equipment and packaging machines. We are also fully conversant with the requirements for working in “clean room” and hygiene critical environments. Examples of food production machinery we maintain are:

  • Flow wrappers
  • VFFS Baggers
  • Tray sealers
  • Shrink wrappers
  • Slicing machines
  • Conveyor systems
  • Large hoppers
  • Filling machines
  • Blade sharpening and grinding
  • Stillage and skip repairs

Food production machinery

Our expert engineers have experience maintaining a huge variety of machinery, but we have specialist knowledge of brands including Ulma, Isheda, Omori, Turatti and Thilot. This means that we can often keep older machinery working by sourcing parts or having them specially made. Our engineers can also install a wide variety of new machinery, making alterations to framework and services where required. We can also help producers to cut costs with our production line optimisation service.

Individually Tailored Maintenance Contracts

No two producers are the same, for this reason our maintenance services are designed to cater for producers’ individual needs. We offer “one-off” service visits or planned maintenance contracts. All works are carried out by trained and experienced engineers at a time convenient to you, be that day, night, or weekends. Our flexible approach is designed to minimise disruption to production schedules and productivity.

Planned maintenance keeps your food production and packaging machinery in good condition, often identifying unseen issues before they become costly breakdowns. Our maintenance service begins with a full health check and visual inspection. Following this, we provide a report detailing all maintenance works, parts required and recommendations for repairs or upgrades. We can supply spare parts if required, or fit parts supplied by you. If you require on-time machine maintenance or would like to know more about our tailored service contracts, please do contact us.

More About Our Food Production Engineering Services

Our process starts with speaking to machinery operators and a visual inspection of the working production line. This serves to highlight obvious issues warranting further investigation and problems that can be quickly resolved with staff training or minor machine adjustments. Following the initial checks, our engineers remove inspection panels and guards to carry out a detailed inspection, including thorough cleaning with lubrication and adjustments to chains, bearings, belts and driveshafts. Following our inspection and maintenance, we present clients with a comprehensive report, detailing the works carried out and our recommendations for repairs or upgrades.
As the old saying goes, “prevention is the best cure”, and our production line health checks are designed to do just that. Preventing serious issues and breakdowns before they happen. Our expert engineers will carry out a detailed inspection of your food production lines and provide you with a prioritised report. This will highlight issues that require further investigation or maintenance, but also problems easily rectified with small adjustments or operative training. If you would like to give your food production line a health check, please do contact us.
Efficiency is key to reducing costs and maximising productivity, particularly important when dealing with perishable food products. Using our extensive experience, and Six Sigma methodology, we undertake a detailed inspection of your food production and packaging lines. Following our inspection, we will provide you with a comprehensive report containing recommendations for how and where efficiencies can be achieved. Please contact us to book a production line optimisation survey.
We understand how costly machine breakdowns are for your production schedules, not to mention the knock-on effects for customers and delivery schedules. For this reason, we offer a 24hr breakdown service with the aim of getting you back up and running as quickly as possible. When your production line lets you down, we can be relied upon to be there when you need us most. For emergency breakdowns please call 07760 563130
We do not charge a call out fee for planned maintenance service visits, but travel expenses to and from your place of work are chargeable. Replacement parts are chargeable items unless specifically included in service agreements. Lubricants and cleaning fluids are included for planned maintenance contracts and on-time service appointments. Our 24hr emergency call out service operates 365 days a year and is subject to a call out charge and mileage expenses to and from site. The first hour on site is included in our call out charge, subsequent hours on site are charged at our out of hours labour rate . We are unable to provide estimates for repair costs until we get to site and can assess the issue. A comprehensive summary of our trading terms and conditions is available on request, please contact us.
