Correct maintenance is crucial
Extending the performance of your equipment relies on the correct maintenance procedures being observed.

Preventive maintenance - prevent problems before they occur
By servicing your equipment only when necessary, you can ensure operational reliability and maintain performance. Preventive Maintenance reduces unplanned stops, increases equipment lifetime and reduces workplace accidents. It also enables you to make the best use of resources and reduce spare parts stock.
Preventive maintenance is performed as a stand-alone service when your equipment has been in operation for a certain number of hours, and at a fixed interval to avoid unplanned stops. The service can also be part of a Performance Agreement. Our experts analyze your operating conditions, determine accurate maintenance intervals based on various factors, including type of application as well as the usage and condition of the equipment, supply genuine spare parts, and perform maintenance on board, on site or in one of the Alfa Laval Service Centers located close to you.
