Summary
Before Expel:
4 daily stacking machine repairs due to compressed air contamination.
Since installing Expel in January 2024:
0 repairs. Yes, ZERO!
Before Expel entered the picture, the maintenance team was in a relentless daily machine maintenance cycle. Each downtime episode not only haltered production but also strained resources and finances. The culprit? Compressed air contamination, a silent saboteur wreaking havoc on the machine’s pneumatic components.
Enter Expel, the game-changer in air filtration technology. Installed seamlessly at the point of use, it promised to deliver uninterrupted performance and remove the three primary sources of compressed air contamination: liquid water, oil emulsion fluids and solid particulates.
Fast-forward four months, and the transformation speaks volumes. The machine has not required a single repair since Expel took charge. The once frequent interruptions are now a distant memory, replaced by consistent operation and heightened productivity. The maintenance team, once burdened by constant machine maintenance, now channels its expertise towards proactive improvements, thanks to the machine’s newfound reliability.
Ultimately, it’s not just about a machine running smoothly; it’s about the ripple effect of efficiency that transforms an entire operation. Following this success, the site is now looking to install 12 more Expel units to eradicate all issues with compressed air contamination and optimise performance.
