Preventative Maintenance Contracts

At Pacproinc, LLC our goal is to support our customers by helping them operate and maintain their PPI equipment at the highest possible level. With that in mind, we offer the following features and benefits as part of our Preventative Maintenance Service Contract:

  • Contract customers receive a 5% discount on all parts purchased for the duration of contract.
  • Protection Against Unscheduled Downtime – Preventative maintenance inspections will help predict component failure, spot wear items or improperly maintained areas, and allow repairs to be scheduled before they become failures.
  • Reduced Emergency Visits – Downtime is costly no matter when it occurs. But emergency service visits can unnecessarily add to those costs due to last minute airfare or technician overtime. Prescheduled PM visits allow you to maintain better cost control and reduce the need for emergency visits and repairs.
  • Improved Operation and Efficiency Through Ongoing Operator and Maintenance Training – PM visits are training and education opportunities, keeping operators and maintenance personnel skills at top levels, correcting bad habits, and training new personnel. Unlike emergency visits, regularly prescheduled PM visits provide plant management the ability to schedule the necessary personnel and resources to ensure that training is consistent, thorough, and effective.
  • Maximize Performance – These inspections are equipment “tune ups” to verify that all systems are operating at original factory specifications and provide insight into the details that may not seem impactful, but can contribute substantially to inefficiency and operational downtime. Programs and firmware will be reviewed and updated to the latest version.
  • Predictable Maintenance Costs – Once you budget a service contract you can estimate what your costs are going to be for the year.
  • Better Control and Cost ofInventoried Spare Parts – As part of the preventative maintenance visit we will review your parts inventory and recommend what should be stocked. Additionally, we will review your annual spare parts spending with you and make suggestions as to possible savings.
  • Priority Service – As part of this service contract you will receive priority service over non-contract customers should you require an emergency service visit. Unlimited telephone support is also included. Remote connection and monitoring can be quoted for the utmost in service support.
  • Line Optimization and Operational Review – The service engineer will observe all facets of the line operation, not only the equipment, but all the operations associated with the process. He will make recommendations on how to improve efficiency and increase throughput.
  • Service Report – A detailed service report is provided to you upon completion of each PM visit listing findings, performance recommendations, and uptime improvements. As part of the PM visit we will review any available Maintenance Logs on the equipment to help identify any recurring issues, and offer suggestions to resolve.

Replacing or Installing a New Photo Eye Cable

This bulletin is to outline the procedure to follow when installing the cable on any of the photo eyes used on your Pacproinc equipment.

You will need a torque wrench that will measure up to 0.6Nm and dielectric grease.

Apply some dielectric grease to the male and female sides of the connector before connecting. The grease will help prevent corrosion in spots where there may be moisture. After applying grease, make the connection noting that the alignment notch on the male and female portions must align when connecting the cord to the photo eye. Finger tighten the connector until resistance is met then use the torque wrench to tighten to 0.6Nm.

Pacproinc®Arc-Tronic®

The Pacproinc® Arc-Tronic® is an electronic film-hole perforating system that solves the frequent problems presented by hole-punchers in shrink-wrap applications. With no moving parts, no need for contact with the film, and adjustable hole diameter, the Arc-Tronic® sets the standard for film perforating.

Because it’s not a punch, there are no tabs, scrap pieces, or waste to contaminate product after perforating. The solid-state design requires no expensive punches or dies, the round/oval hole edges seal instantly after perforating to prevent “zippering” as a result of torn film, and a simple knob adjustment means users can make fast, on-the-fly changes from 1/8” to 3/8”.

Installation is fast and easy. All Arc-Tronic® kits include illustrated instructions, so it’s fast and easy for plant maintenance personnel to add the perforating system to existing packaging machines.

High-performance upgrades are available for extra-thick/special film compositions, and the system is capable of perforating films at speeds up to 120 feet/minute.

Add it up, and you have a system that delivers consistent performance, eliminates waste-related contamination worries, and saves money.
