Advantages with preventive care
Metenova Zero-g mixers include slide bearings. Regular replacement ensures that the bearings are always in optimal condition, maintaining the performance and reliability of the equipment they support. Elastomers, such as O-rings, are exposed during pharma production to a demanding environment, with high temperatures and various types of chemicals. Regular maintenance with the replacement of O-rings is important to maintain the high aseptic standard. Carelessness with this maintenance can lead to leakage, cross-contamination, and risk to the function of the equipment.
The slide bearings play a crucial role in supporting rotating or sliding components the Zero-g mixer. By replacing them regularly, you can prevent excessive wear, and damage to the mating surfaces. This, in turn, extends the overall lifespan of the equipment.
While regular replacements may seem like an additional expense, they offer cost savings in the bigger picture. By replacing slide bearings proactively, you avoid the potential for more extensive damage that could occur if worn-out bearings are left in place. Therefore, you can anticipate and plan for associated costs.
Neglecting of maintenance of slide bearings can lead to increased friction, heat generation, and energy loss. By replacing them regularly, you ensure that the mixer operates with optimal efficiency.
Unplanned equipment downtime can be disruptive and costly. By proactively maintaining machinery, you can prevent unexpected breakdowns, schedule maintenance during planned downtime, and minimize interruptions to production or operations.
