Cases & enClosures Keeping


your cool... T


1) “I wIll jUsT FIx a probleM wHen IT occUrs”


Can you afford not to have correct cooling maintenance in place?


26


In the past, the approach of reactive maintenance was seen as acceptable for most businesses. However, times have changed. The key goals of any sized business are now becoming “increased throughput”, “cost efficiency”, “continuous improvement”. potential roadblocks to output targets need to be ‘nipped in the bud’ and nobody wants to be the one in the morning meeting explaining why yesterday’s targets were not met! The implementation of a semi-regular maintenance


schedule does not have to be massively time-consuming. even something as simple as a weekly visual check of cooling equipment filter mats or any system alarms can alert you in good time to call in the experts, who can then perform a more detailed review for you.


2) “we jUsT open THe enclosUre Door For a wHIle”


This is treating the symptoms rather than the illness. If you are having to resort to a tactic such as using large fans to blow ambient air into an open enclosure you could be doing more harm than good. not to mention that this is a massively dangerous solution from a health and safety standpoint.


Autumn 2021 UKManufacturing


here is an adage that time is money, this is particularly true when it comes to production downtime. Hold ups in production could result in lost money- a lot of lost money! For example, it is


suggested that one of the UK’s largest automotive manufacturers could lose up to £480,000 each hour when they experience downtime on their paint plant. Your overheads may not be as substantial as the above example, but that does not take away from the fact that the old adage you hear in every corner of business and production is true: Irrespective of your industry and the product you


manufacture, production downtime is a crucial performance indicator to monitor because of the direct impact it can have on your bottom line. More downtime equals increased spares/maintenance costs, taken directly from your profit. This could have been invested to meet more pertinent business objectives; purchasing new machinery for example. Do you ever hear (or even make) any of the following


excuses as reasons not to tackle climate control provision and maintenance in your production and automation facilities?
