Key Outcomes:
Proposed & Customized Quicklub System
Quickly Responded to an Emergency Service Need
Prevented Costs of Shutting Down the Facility and Production
$17,150 per day or $70 per ton of facility downtime
The Problem: Bill Spitzer & Associates was called to design and recommend a lubrication system for a material handling chain belt conveyor at a recycling facility. The planned downtime was 1 week and the crew had Wednesday to Friday to install the lubrication system. Unfortunately, the hired crew ran out of time and the client needed a solution ASAP. Bill Spitzer & Associates responded quickly, rearrange schedules, and worked over the weekend to prevent downtime, overtime, and shutdown. Not only did the BSA Sales Manager & Service Technicians finish under budget and on time, they commissioned the lubrication system and taught operations how to perform routine maintenance to lower costs and prevent future issues with the chain belt conveyor.
