Preventive Maintenance
Best Practices.
Preventive maintenance is most effective when performed on a near daily basis. This will ensure that your tablet press continues to function in like-new condition. Near-daily maintenance also helps to ensure that the machine compresses tablets that strictly conform to the target specifications mandated by the end user.
Components that should be regularly inspected on a modern tablet press include:
- Compression rolls
- Cams
- Punch seals and restraining mechanisms
- Scrapers
- Turret assemblies
- Lubricant levels
- Gearboxes
- Force feeders
Working directly with supplier-driven preventive maintenance programs has some distinct advantages. Suppliers fully understand the design and internal workings of the machine and their employees will have encyclopedic knowledge of subtle features and procedures related to the equipment. The supplier that manufactured the press can provide a detailed summary of its findings, including all pertinent facts. The manufacturer can also provide guidelines for conducting preventive maintenance.
A regular technician visit from your supplier will provide you with a thorough assessment of each of your presses. At Fette Compacting, our technicians can provide a range of services, such as:
- Identifying and replacing worn-out or non-working components
- Simplifying standard operating procedures and implementing checklists
- Making suggestions for improved yields and production rates specific to your equipment
- Introducing new features, upgrades, and enhancements
- Implementing training programs
- Forming teams and setting goals for improved efficiency and decreased changeover times
- Heightening awareness of safety inspections and utilizing installed safety features
- A direct link to related initiatives, including Overall Equipment Effectiveness
