Elopak Preventive Maintenance Program

The Elopak Preventive Maintenance Program comprises the care and servicing of our Filling Lines in regular intervals for the purpose of maintaining equipment in a satisfactory operating condition, ensuring maximum machine efficiency and operational excellence.

Such is done by providing systematic inspection, detection, and correction of incipient failures, either before they occur or before they develop into major defects. Overall, the specific PMP jobs are classified following EN Standards (EN 13306: 2010) in function of the required skill level of the operator / technician to ensure good execution. As such, the Elopak Preventive Maintenance program constitutes our of 3 pillars, i.e.

  • The short term maintenance as outlined in the user manual, for which only basic skill levels 1 or 2 are required. These are typically performed by customer personnel at prescribed intervals on CIP (Cleaning in Place) following these specific maintenance instructions provided by Elopak. Naming and numbering of procedures follow naturally the structure of our filling line modules and sub-modules. As such, the necessary solid foundation of a strong preventive maintenance program is ensured.
  • The long term maintenance (every 1000 or 1250 running hours, depending on the machine type) includes tests, measurements, adjustments, as well as parts replacement. Complexity is such that higher level skills 3 or 4 are required and hence such maintenance activities are typically performed by professional Elopak personnel.
  • Together with our customers, we create an individual myPMP, a systematic ISO 22000 approach maintaining, monitoring and controlling Preventive Maintenance Program including all dimensions (1) A procedural handbook describing every task in detail, (2) Status and history at task level, (3) Historical and zero machine parameter settings, (3) Spare parts stock positions and / or order status, (4) Training curricula and certifications.
