Booster Set Servicing and Repair at a Chicken Processing Plant

We provide the chicken processing client with regular maintenance on their booster sets and washdown systems to ensure they are working correctly – this enables us to find and repair any faults before they cause significant downtime in the factory.

Our engineers carry out the following checks on each of the systems during the service visit.

• Operate isolation valves and check functionality
• Check operation of non-return valves
• Check condition and pressures of pressure vessels
• Check motor bearings using a vibration metre
• Check mechanical seal for leaks
• Physical check of control panel, including condition, switches and earthing
• Cabling connections
• Check motor electrical condition where possible
• Check inverter faults where fitted/possible
• Check condition of all pipework and manifolds
• Check overall condition of system as a whole
• Check fault communication with BMS system where fitted
• Check break tank and report (where possible)

By doing these tests, we can find out if the pump bearings are about to fail, for example. If they are, we can proactively replace the bearings at a time that suits production demands, preventing a likely catastrophic failure of the booster set and a big headache for our client!

As part of our solution we also provide our Dura Pump Connect system, an  online asset portal that works as one go-to place for all account management. It contains all the details and servicing history of the equipment, so the engineering manager can easily access information regarding any pump systems covered in the maintenance contract.
