A Deep Dive into Preventative Maintenance from Record Packaging

For any business, packaging machinery is the engine of your production line. Whether you’re running a single flow wrapper or a complex automated system, the performance and reliability of your equipment directly impact your bottom line. At Record Packaging, we understand this better than anyone, which is why we’re passionate about preventative maintenance. It’s not just a service we offer; it’s the foundation of operational excellence.

Beyond the Break-Fix Mentality

In a fast-paced production environment, it’s easy to fall into a “break-fix” cycle—running a machine until it fails, then scrambling to get it repaired. While this might seem efficient in the short term, it’s a costly approach. Unexpected breakdowns cause significant downtime, disrupt production schedules, and often lead to expensive, urgent repairs. Preventative maintenance, on the other hand, is a proactive strategy. By establishing a regular maintenance schedule, you can catch and resolve minor issues before they escalate into major problems, ensuring your machinery operates smoothly and reliably.

The benefits of this proactive approach are clear: a well-maintained machine is a more efficient machine. It runs at peak performance, leading to higher output and consistent product quality. This not only boosts your productivity but also extends the lifespan of your valuable equipment, maximizing your return on investment.

Why Trust a Specialist with Your Machinery?

While in-house teams can handle some day-to-day checks, the intricacies of modern packaging machinery demand the expertise of a specialist. Our technicians are trained in-house and with the help of machine manufacturers, giving them an unparalleled understanding of the equipment’s inner workings. This specialized knowledge allows them to identify subtle signs of wear and tear that might be missed by a general technician.

At Record Packaging, we offer comprehensive maintenance contracts that cover a wide range of machinery and accessories. Our services don’t just focus on the core machine, but also on crucial components like conveyors and labelling machines, providing a holistic solution for your entire production line. Our extensive experience in the industry also means we can source parts at more competitive rates than Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and even re-engineer components quickly, ensuring your machines are always equipped with high-quality, cost-effective parts.

“Preventative maintenance is the single most important investment you can make in your packaging line. It’s about more than just keeping machines running; it’s about protecting your entire operation from the unpredictability of breakdowns. By working with a specialist, you gain peace of mind knowing your equipment is in the hands of people who understand it inside and out.”

— Robert Murphy, Sales Director at Record Packaging
