Pretech Inc.'s Predictive Maintenance Program (PdM) is a tool that will help maintain high expectations. Pretech's low cost monitoring program is an efficient method to get objective data collection, machine condition reports, and data analysis on a regular basis. Recognizing that mechanical equipment performs well most of the time, Pretech's PdM Program offers the optimum in cost-effective failure protection. Pretech's PdM trending services measures and reports mechanical conditions on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. The PdM Program offers tremendous budget flexibility while reducing costly unexpected shutdown exposure.
Why Does Your Company Need A PdM Program?
- Minimize Down Time
- Increase Profitability
- Reduce Accident Potential
- Increase Efficiency
- Reduce Machine Wear
- Plan for Machine Repairs
- Increase Machine Safety
- Increase Plant Safety
- Focus Maintenance Personnel
- Reduce Standby Parts Costs
- Reduce Utility Costs on Critical Machines
- Condition Based Maintenance
The most effective method of machine maintenance is a regular condition based maintenance program, one that actually monitors the condition of machines over time. By assessing the trend of vibration measurements, maintenance personnel receive important lead-time warning of impending machine failure. Vibration monitoring techniques can be applied to rotating and reciprocating machinery to detect most common problems, such as:
- Unbalanced, bent, or misaligned shafts
- Defects in gears or bearings
- Faults in belt, blades or impellers
- Structural and foundation issues
- Critical speed problems
- Lubrication issues
Summary
Pretech's PdM Program, through Detection, Analysis, Correction and Verification, helps maintenance personnel detect the onset of machine problems by analyzing collected data and determining the root cause. Pretech's PdM Program puts maintenance staff in a position to react and correct machine problems efficiently, effectively, and at a convenient time. Finally, the program gives plant personnel a means to verify the effectiveness of maintenance and repairs and to track machine performance over time. Pretech's PdM Program offers flexibility and expertise to adapt to specific facility needs. Most importantly, our program is non-intrusive and Pretech's technicians will not affect production or plant operations.
