What are the general maintenance costs of pillow packaging machines?

HOME > News
Normally, the proportion of machine maintenance costs to usage costs is between 10% and 30%.
 
The maintenance cost of pillow packaging machines cannot be ignored as a proportion of the overall operating cost, and the maintenance cost of different types of machines may vary. Machines with high technological content and high degree of automation usually have higher maintenance costs, while some traditional machines are relatively lower. The composition of maintenance costs generally includes the following aspects:
 
1.Conventional consumables costs: This includes lubricants, filters, cleaning agents, and other small consumables used for daily maintenance.
 
2.The cost of regular replacement parts: Such as sealing strips, tools, belts, bearings, etc., these are all parts that will naturally wear out under normal use, and need to be replaced regularly to ensure the best operating condition of the equipment.
 
3.Repair and replacement of large components costs: When major components of equipment such as motors, electronic controllers, pneumatic components, etc. have problems, the replacement or repair of these components will incur a large expense.
 
4.Labor costs: This relates to the salaries of technicians required for the daily inspection, cleaning, adjustment, and replacement of parts of the equipment. It also includes technical service charges for irregular major repairs or emergency repairs.
 
5.Spare parts inventory cost: In order to reduce the downtime waiting for spare parts, enterprises usually reserve a certain number of commonly used spare parts, this part of the inventory will also occupy funds.
 
6.Energy costs: Energy consumption such as electricity and compressed air required during maintenance is also a factor that cannot be ignored.
 
7.Preventive maintenance contracts and service fees: Some companies may choose to sign maintenance contracts with original manufacturers or third-party service providers to ensure that their equipment receives professional regular inspections and maintenance, which may result in fixed annual or per use service fees.
 
8.Training costs: Regular training is necessary to familiarize operators and maintenance teams with the latest operating standards and safety procedures of the equipment, which is also an expense.
 
9.Transportation and logistics costs: When spare parts need to be shipped from remote warehouses or returned to the factory for maintenance, logistics costs will also be factored into the total cost.
 
10.Insurance and compliance costs: Equipment damage insurance, workers compensation and other insurance costs, as well as the cost of safety upgrades or modifications necessary to comply with industry standards and regulations.
 
Reducing the maintenance costs of machines has significant economic implications for businesses. Here are some methods to reduce machine maintenance costs:
 
1. Regularly inspect and maintain the machine, promptly identify and solve problems.
2. Choose machines with reliable quality and long lifespan.
3. Based on the usage of the machine, develop a reasonable usage plan and avoid overuse or misuse.
4. Train professional technicians to maintain the machine and avoid malfunctions caused by improper operation.
5. Establish an effective spare parts management system, control inventory reasonably, and avoid excessive capital occupation.
6. Adopting predictive maintenance techniques can detect potential failures in advance and reduce unplanned downtime.
7. Choose suppliers with long operating time and good reputation to cooperate and ensure the quality of spare parts and maintenance services.
 
In short, the maintenance cost of machines is inevitable, and its proportion in the usage cost cannot be ignored. Enterprises can effectively control and reduce the maintenance cost of pillow packaging machines through fine management and optimization of maintenance processes.
