Preventative Maintenance Plans
Prevent The Problems...and The Headaches
Regular condition monitoring establishes a baseline for normal operation of a system and helps to maximize the time between expensive overhauls or major repairs. In addition, when conditions deviate suddenly from this baseline, the cause can be diagnosed more rapidly and accurately than if "normal" operation were not defined. A problem caught in the early stages can be fixed before severe damage occurs, saving money by scheduling downtime and preventing major failures.

We're Not Just Oil Changers
Times have changed. It used to be maintaining, servicing, and repairing your compressed air system was simply a matter of committing a few labor hours each month. Today, keeping your system operating at peak efficiency requires thorough knowledge of the technology, and investment in monitoring equipment and ongoing training. These are costs that many industrial companies—even the biggest one—cannot afford.
Process & Power offers contract maintenance programs to help you plan service and monitor the condition of your compressed air system. The maintenance scope should reflect your equipment, operating hours and production schedule, with included work and reporting defined in the agreement. No maintenance program can prevent every failure. Contact our team to discuss a plan for your facility and confirm what is covered.We also can create custom training programs specifically tailored to meet the needs of your facility and equipment. Our programs cover general and machine specific maintenance which can be performed at our facility or yours.

Preventative Maintenance Plans FAQ
What is a preventative maintenance plan?
It is a scheduled program for inspecting and servicing equipment before avoidable problems become breakdowns. The work should follow manufacturer requirements and reflect runtime, environment, production demands, and equipment condition.
What does Process & Power include in its maintenance offering?
The page features inspections, diagnostic trending, shock pulse monitoring, fluid and air-system analysis, and summary reporting. The actual tasks and frequency should be defined for your equipment in the agreement.
What is the 47-point inspection program?
Process & Power lists a 47-point inspection program that records and trends equipment information. Ask for the applicable checklist so you know which items are checked on your particular system.
How often should my compressor be serviced?
Use the manufacturer's time and operating-hour intervals as the starting point. Dust, heat, moisture, duty cycle, and previous problems can affect inspection needs and should be considered when setting the schedule.
Why establish a normal operating baseline?
A baseline records how equipment behaves when operating properly. Later changes in pressure, temperature, vibration, or other readings are easier to assess when compared under similar load and operating conditions.
Is preventative maintenance more than changing oil and filters?
Yes. A useful program also checks operating condition and identifies developing concerns. Depending on the machine, cooling, drainage, drive components, controls, leakage, and performance may need attention.
Will I receive a report after maintenance?
Process & Power's maintenance page includes a Summary PM report. Review the recorded work, equipment condition, and recommendations, and agree who will schedule any repairs outside the routine visit.
How does shock pulse monitoring fit into maintenance?
It provides bearing-condition information that can be trended over time. It complements routine checks and other diagnostics; readings should be interpreted using the method and operating conditions appropriate to the machine.
Why include coolant analysis?
Fluid analysis can identify contamination, degradation, or wear indicators that deserve investigation. Results are most useful when the sample is collected consistently and compared with the fluid specification and previous samples.
Can a maintenance plan address wet compressed air?
Dryer, drain, filter, and dew-point checks can help investigate moisture problems. Confirm these components are included in the plan rather than assuming compressor maintenance covers every part of the air system.
Can maintenance help reduce energy waste?
Maintenance can correct losses related to dirty components, leaks, or poor operating condition. Broader issues such as compressor sequencing or excessive demand may need an audit and additional system changes.
What is PlannedCARE?
The page presents PlannedCARE as scheduled compressor maintenance with diagnostic support. Confirm eligible equipment, visit frequency, included parts and labor, and exclusions in the specific proposal.
What is PackageCARE?
The page presents PackageCARE as a broader asset-management program using scheduled service and predictive tools. Coverage depends on the agreement; review eligibility, responsibilities, exclusions, and treatment of unplanned repairs before enrolling.
Does a maintenance plan guarantee that equipment will not fail?
No maintenance program can prevent every failure. The goal is to reduce avoidable risk, identify developing issues, and plan service. Contract coverage and response commitments should be reviewed separately.
Can you provide maintenance training for our staff?
Yes. The page offers facility-specific training at your site or ours. Discuss equipment models, staff responsibilities, and learning goals so the program addresses the tasks your team is expected to perform.
How do I request a maintenance plan near Memphis?
Call (901) 362-5500 with your equipment list, runtime, location, and service history. Include recurring problems and production schedules so Process & Power can propose a practical maintenance scope.
