Preventative Maintenance Program
Optimize equipment performance and minimize downtime with PACKPRO’s Preventative Maintenance Program.
Once your entire system is installed and operating, it is important to take the time to maintain and care for your machinery before irreversible damage is done or orders are ceased. Our Preventative Maintenance Program is designed to increase the overall productivity of your packaging operation.

Featured Preventative Maintenance Tips
Bagging Maintenance
Bagging systems are easier to upkeep, but require regular cleaning and sterilizing of frequently used parts. Rollers, print heads, and teflon should all be assessed to ensure they are free of debris and dust. Learn more.
Case Former Maintenance
Lubrication of forming heads, injector assembly, and discharge pushers are critical to keep wear to a minimum. Thorough cleaning of the system is also critical, as accumulated cardboard dust can cause premature wear.
Shrink Overwrapper Maintenance
Shrink overwrappers require full control of the tray and film systems. Cleaning of vacuum nozzle, belts, infeed sensor, and seal heads is a good place to start. Failing to take these precautions will amount to erratic and inconsistent behaviour of the machine.
Stretch Wrapper Maintenance
Most stretch wrapper drive systems consist of chains and/or belts. These parts need to be properly lubricated and checked for any fraying. It is also important to look for film build-up around rotating mechanisms that can prevent rotation from occurring. Learn more.
