PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

Reduce your cost of ownership and increase productivity! PTR baler and compactor preventative maintenance programs are a cost effective way to lengthen the useful life of equipment and increase employee productivity.

Cost

During the life of equipment the oil quality degrades and parts begin to wear. This process reduces pressure capability and reduced material weights. A reduction in compactor weights result in additional pull fees. Inefficient Balers will increase bale creation labor costs and reduced bale weights. When wear leads to component failure and downtime the result is lost productivity,open top fees or sanitation issues. These events can eat up hard earned profit dollars. Performing regular maintenance helps you to achieve a safe, productive and  environment for your employees.
