Why Start-Up?

Extruders are used for food and feed production.

You have decided to purchase new equipment to grow your business.  The next step in making your business operation a reality, is completing the start-up appointment with trained technicians.  Popular questions our staff gets are “Why do I need to pay for a start-up?  How does it benefit my operation?”

There are several things that could go wrong during the start-up of new equipment.  Operators are the first line of defense in keeping your production line running.  Below we will discuss what operators will learn during the startup appointment and why this is key to a successful business.

Proper Training –

If something goes wrong while the equipment is running the operator is the first line of defense to avoid a loss in production. They should know the machines front to back, inside and out.  When the Service Technician arrives on site for the start-up appointment they will train operators and maintenance staff on operations, maintenance, safety and housekeeping.

Proper Maintenance –

Proper maintenance is the life of your machines and profitability of your company.  Your team will learn how to properly maintain your new equipment and maximize its potential through hands on training.

Proper Safety –

Individual safety is important to any operation that utilizes equipment. Our equipment works with high pressure and temperatures, therefore safety is very important to the operation.  The team will learn proper safety techniques and tools that can protect them during operations and general maintenance.

Warranty –

The start-up appointment is a necessity for anyone that is a NEW customer to assure equipment warranty.

Optimize Performance –

You may run millions of dollars in ingredients through your equipment over the course of a year.  Keeping your equipment operating at the optimal efficiency and product quality can mean thousands of dollars in value, or prevent a lost customer.
