On any packaging line, production time is too valuable a resource to be left to chance. An unexpected stoppage not only delays orders, it also generates additional costs and can affect customer trust.
The good news is that most incidents are preventable. With a well-structured preventive maintenance plan and a minimum stock of critical spare parts, it is possible to transform emergency situations into simple scheduled interventions. It’s about anticipating, not reacting.
At Synchropack, we are clear about this: every flowpack we deliver includes a kit of original spare parts designed to cover initial maintenance needs. From there, we support our customers with preventive maintenance plans, technical assistance services, and a global spare parts system that simplifies management and ensures production continuity.
The strategic value of preventive maintenance
Preventive maintenance has a clear objective: to reduce the risk of failures before they occur. During daily operation, packaging machines are subjected to intense rhythms: component wear, temperature variations, or small misalignments that, if not corrected in time, end up causing downtime.
With a preventive maintenance strategy, it is possible to:
- Avoid unexpected downtime by scheduling interventions before wear causes a failure.
- Extend the useful life of the machine, protecting the initial investment.
- Maintain consistent performance, ensuring packaging quality and production process stability.
- Plan resources more accurately, as interventions are integrated into production planning without disruption.
Instead of reacting when the line has already stopped, prevention allows you to control time and costs. This approach is not only more efficient, it is also more sustainable, because it reduces the unnecessary consumption of resources resulting from downtime and urgent repairs.
Minimum spare parts stock: insurance against uncertainty
One of the main challenges facing the industry is having the right spare part at the right time. The risk of not having it is clear: maintenance is delayed, deadlines are missed, and production is compromised.
However, keeping a warehouse full of hundreds of parts “just in case” is not viable either. It involves high costs in terms of space, tied-up investment, and the risk of certain components expiring or falling into disuse.
The key is to find the right balance: a strategic minimum stock, made up of the spare parts that statistically show the greatest wear and tear and are critical to keeping the machine running.
At Synchropack, we help you define that minimum stock thanks to our experience gained from thousands of flowpack installations worldwide. We know which components should always be on hand and in what quantities, allowing our customers to minimize risk without oversizing their inventories.
Spare parts kit and recommended spare parts: the ready-to-use solution
To simplify maintenance management, Synchropack delivers an original spare parts kit with every new machine. This kit is carefully designed to include all the most common wear components needed for the first preventive maintenance cycles.
The advantages of spare part kits are clear:
- Everything in one package: no searching, no scattered orders, no forgotten parts.
- Immediate availability: the kit is always at hand when the time comes to perform maintenance.
- Less maintenance time: technicians work faster when they have all the necessary spare parts in one package.
- Optimized costs: the kit is more competitively priced than purchasing each spare part separately.
- Guaranteed quality: all components are original Synchropack spare parts, tested and specifically adapted to your machine.
What’s more, these kits are not static. Depending on each customer’s production conditions, we can configure customized kits that are tailored to the pace of operation, the type of product being packaged, and the demands of the working environment.
Beyond the kit: maintenance plans and technical support
The spare parts kit is just the first step. At Synchropack, we offer a preventive maintenance service that includes everything from inspections and productivity reports to scheduled component replacement, always tailored to the needs of each plant.
Our services include:
- A customized preventive maintenance plan, which establishes clear intervals for each type of intervention.
- Specialized technical assistance, both on-site and remote, to quickly resolve any incidents.
- Training for internal maintenance teams, enabling your technicians to make the most of available resources.
In this way, maintenance ceases to be a reactive burden and becomes a proactive strategy for continuous improvement.
The Synchropack spare parts service: speed and global reliability
Even with a good preventive plan and a complete spare parts kit, the need for an additional spare part may arise. For these cases, Synchropack has a spare parts service that guarantees reliability in all countries where we have packaging equipment.
Our commitment is clear:
- Immediate availability of the most critical spare parts.
- Streamlined ordering processes to avoid delays.
- Direct technical advice to accurately identify the required part and avoid ordering errors.
In this way, we combine three pillars: initial spare parts kits, preventive maintenance, and spare parts service. The result is comprehensive coverage that minimizes risks and maximizes the efficiency of every Synchropack flowpack machine.
Conclusion: simple maintenance, stable production
In a market where every minute counts, prevention makes all the difference. Thanks to recommended spare parts and our maintenance and technical support services, at Synchropack we help your packaging machines operate with maximum reliability, without unforeseen events and with controlled costs.
Maintenance no longer has to be a problem. With Synchropack, it becomes a competitive advantage.
