Maintenance :
Maintenance is a procedure by means of which we can maintain active functioning in operation according to the behavior and utility of particular element. Maintenance can also be defined as the process of systematic activities done for keeping the m/c or equipment at the heat level for well run or its proper services. In engineering we use this terminology for maintaining smooth and uninterrupted performance of machines, tools and metallurgical characteristics in practical use
Objectives of Maintenance :
- To keep the factory plants, equipments, machine tools in an optimum working condition.
- To ensure specified accuracy to product and time schedule of delivery to customer.
- To keep the downtime of machines to the minimum thus to have control over the production program.
- To keep the production cycle within the stipulated range.
- To modify the machine tools to meet the need for production Ø To minimize the idle time resulting from the machinery break down.
- To ensure best possible level of quality of product.
- To reduce the cost.
- To maintain m/c equipment at optimum operation speed & production efficiency.
- To ensure specified accuracy to product and time schedule of delivery to customer.
Maintenance of Machinery :
Preventive Maintenance :
Preventive maintenance is a predetermined routine actively to ensure on time inspection / checking of facilities to uncover conditions that may lead to production break downs or harmful description.
Break Down Maintenance :
In this case, repairs are made after the equipment is out of order and it can not perform its normal functions. Such a thing could be used when the equipment failure does not significantly affect the production or generate any significant loss other than the repair cost.
Routine Maintenance :
Maintenance of different machines are prepared by expert engineer of maintenance department. Normally in case of dyeing machine maintenance after 30 days complete checking of different important parts are done.
