To keep your industrial vacuum cleaner healthy, it is a good idea to take small steps that can considerably extend the life of the device. One of these is definitely to carry out scheduled maintenance cycles on your vacuum cleaner, so as to prevent any problems and thus increase its efficiency.

From this also follows a considerable saving of money and time: on the one hand, in fact, you will need to replace your vacuum cleaner much later in time; on the other hand, having a vacuum cleaner that is always performing will allow you to optimize your production processes, making them smoother and faster. You will also benefit in terms of the quality of the finished product, since a vacuum cleaner in perfect health will positively affect the quality of your product.

The maintenance operations that RIBO experts carry out on industrial vacuum cleaners can be of two types:

• ordinary maintenance
• extraordinary maintenance.

Ordinary maintenance

The ordinary maintenance of RIBO machines generally takes place annually, but it can also be carried out every six months at the explicit request of the customer. Ordinary maintenance consists of a series of interventions, to be carried out in a preventive manner, necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the device over time.

This type of maintenance includes inspection, control, adjustment, cleaning, and lubrication of  the machinery.

In practice, a RIBO expert visits the customer by appointment and performs a check-up of the industrial vacuum cleaner. In case he has identified critical issues, he promptly repairs the problem before it degenerates into possible downtime. Finally, he replaces the spare parts inherent in the filtration system (filters and prefilters) to ensure greater efficiency of the device.

All of these interventions are carried out with the aim of keeping the mechanical condition, lubrication and cleanliness of the industrial vacuum cleaner under control, with a view to preventing failure.

For good ordinary maintenance, RIBO experts recommend:

• Use only original spare parts, tools suitable for the purpose and in good condition;
• Comply with the service intervals recommended in the manual supplied with the purchase of the vacuum cleaner. These intervals can be shortened by scheduling maintenance before the time frame expires, but not lengthened;
• Constantly monitor the performance of the vacuum cleaner and promptly check the cause of any abnormalities, such as excessive noise or overheating;
• Promptly correct any malfunctions found in a timely manner to prevent further damage to equipment and ensure the safety of operators.

Extraordinary maintenance

The extraordinary maintenance of RIBO industrial vacuum cleaners includes all those operations that the operator must necessarily carry out when the machine needs it. For example, extraordinary maintenance includes overhaul, repair, restoration to rated operating conditions, or replacement of a faulty, defective, or worn-out unit.

All of these operations require in-depth and specialized knowledge of the machinery: for this reason, it is always a good idea to rely on RIBO technicians to ensure that the correct procedures are implemented and to operate safely.
