5-2 Maintenance
Scheduled Maintenance
Following a routine maintenance schedule can prevent part degradation and ensure high quality
performance for every production run. There are several simple procedures you can perform on a regular
basis to ensure quality dispensing and optimize system performance.
The maintenance schedule for the X-1000 Series Dispensing System is predicated on normal operation. The
maintenance task, interval, and instructions are summarized in Table 5-1.
" NOTES The recommendations are for systems operating in a 24-hour, 7-days a week production
environment. Except for the daily and weekly requirements, maintenance for single-shift
operations may be performed at less frequent intervals.
Performing a visual inspection in conjunction with a scheduled maintenance shutdown may
optimize your preventive maintenance effort.
Record Keeping
Record keeping is essential to efficient maintenance. The type of maintenance performed (such as
preventive and parts replacement) should be recorded in maintenance records for each model and serial
number. Dates, part numbers of replaced parts, and other pertinent data should accompany the maintenance
record.
" NOTE Keep records of dispensing system wear characteristics unique to your production methods.
These records can then be used for planning purposes.
