SERVTHERM maintains a high-level technical staff, trained and adequately equipped for technical assistance services, scheduled maintenance and assistance in the operation of our equipment. In addition to SERVTHERM equipment, we also provide technical assistance in equipment from other manufacturers (on request).

With reasonable costs and appropriate to the market, whatever your needs for maintenance of induction furnaces, count on SERVTHERM’s technical excellence and service quality.

Know more

Keeping your induction equipment running in optimal operating conditions is our goal. A maladjusted or badly adjusted set can generate a high consumption of electrical energy, consuming more energy and time for the production of molten metal.

An induction furnace needs periodic checks to ensure that all systems are in perfect working order. This guarantees a minimum time between stops.

PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE

Predictive maintenance is the periodic monitoring of the equipment, through data collected through inspections. The most common techniques used for predictive maintenance are:

  • Thermographic analysis;
  • Electrical measurements;
  • Visual inspection.

The objectives of doing predictive maintenance are:

  • Determine, in advance, the need for maintenance of a part;
  • Eliminate unnecessary disassembly for inspection;
  • Increase the lifespan of the equipment;
  • Reduce unplanned emergency work;
  • Prevent increased damage.

Through these objectives, it is possible to conclude that the maintenance predictive has a greater purpose: to reduce maintenance costs and increase equipment productivity.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Preventive maintenance has as its main objective the prevention of a failure or breakdown in equipment. Therefore, it is an intervention foreseen, prepared and programmed before the appearance of a failure. Preventive maintenance services must be planned and scheduled, that is, all stages of the service to be performed must be well defined.

Some examples of preventive maintenance are:

  • Periodic lubrication;
  • Systematic reviews of equipment;
  • Equipment inspection;
  • Reinforce the manufacturer’s recommendations.

 

CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

Corrective maintenance happens when the equipment already has a damaged part or component, presenting a malfunction, and it needs to be replaced.

This maintenance may be necessary in two situations: when an unexpected failure appears, or when a failure is detected that could lead to a bigger problem in the future. Therefore, we can divide corrective maintenance into two subtypes:

Planned corrective

Planned corrective maintenance is nothing more than the monitoring of a machine, with the purpose of correcting a failure that will avoid a future loss.

Unplanned correction

Unplanned corrective maintenance takes place after identifying an error or problem. This type of maintenance implies high costs in relation to planned corrective maintenance.
