Kitchen and bathroom manufacturer finds peace of mind with PPS

Company Overview

One of the largest manufacturers of kitchens and bathrooms in the UK, with four sites, based across Yorkshire.

Project Overview

Complete site survey and data log to find the best maintenance and service solution for their production.

What was needed:

After experiencing various site issues, they were looking for a new compressed air supplier to support them with service contracts covering four sites. Being a large furniture manufacturer, it’s important for them to have a reliable supply of compressed air, they needed a supplier who could sort out these issues and then keep their system working efficiently for the term of the contract.

What we did:

We data logged the compressors to assess their running and performance, making sure that they were still running efficiently and at optimal level. Alongside this, we carried out a detailed site survey which included assessing sites, machine conditions and performance.

Completing a data log and site survey helped us to assess and propose the most appropriate maintenance and service schedule for their production. The maintenance that they now have in place includes monthly checks which will help prevent any potential breakdowns and downtime.

We also identified and helped out with various other site issues, including: control of compressors, improved optimisation and energy efficiency, sorting out legacy issues, fixing oil leaks, tidying the compressor house, rectifying a faulty dryer and sorting out temporary issues.

We reviewed their pneumatic requirements and now look after all their pneumatic needs – covering breakdowns and looking after service.

Key benefits:

• Peace of mind – They have a maintenance contract in place and ongoing support from PPS and our technical team
• Ease of budgeting – Fixed payments over an agreed term
• Reliability – Breakdowns and downtime should be avoided with the regular maintenance schedule that is in place
• Preventative maintenance – Monthly preventative checks included to make sure everything is running at optimal level
