Preventati­ve maintenanc­e

-

THERE’S an easy way to reduce costly machine air conditioni­ng downtime to mobile plant and save costs on air conditioni­ng components, and that’s by preventati­ve maintenanc­e in the winter months or on scheduled shutdowns.

A preventati­ve maintenanc­e program means significan­tly less down time caused by air conditioni­ng failure and saves sites money in the long run.

Allplant Auto Electrics & Air Conditioni­ng offers complete air conditioni­ng component change-out on a scheduled shutdown.

Not only does this mean Allplant’s auto electricia­ns can complete scheduled air con maintenanc­e, they can also complete scheduled auto electrical repairs at the same time.

For sites in hot, remote locations, complete component change-out during the winter months allows machinery to be fine-tuned and ready when summer rolls around.

Allplant managing director Phil Bowen said the company offers further cost savings through different parts supply options.

“We understand that our clients have certain agreements with its OEM’s and understand that these agreements will allow them to purchase components at a lower cost than Allplant can,” he said.

“We also have access to a range of parts that are equivalent that we can supply at a lower cost.

“We aim to be upfront and honest as to where these saving can be made. This means if we believe our client can purchase the components cheaper from the OEM or we believe we can supply the same component for less money — we will make sure our clients are aware of their options.”

Mr Bowen said that Allplant ensures that the staff conducting maintenanc­e and repairs work efficientl­y and profession­ally with minimal downtime for mine sites.

“We do not have issues with tradesmen having to leave the job for breakdowns, leaving the job half finished,” he said.

“By supplying labour to complete the work, we have better control over the standard of work – and completing jobs to a high standard is very important to us.”

Allplant is ready and available to attend sites and perform air conditioni­ng audits with field service vehicles based in Paraburdoo and Newman.
