Magnet maintenance is critical for keeping facility productivity at its highest. While these devices don’t require much attention, as they are extremely reliable, they can still be affected by physical damage, excessive heat or age. Over time, this will result in loss of power, which can represent a significant threat to safety and efficiency. Fortunately, Philip Rahm International (PRI) can help a company make sure their industrial devices remain in top form, preventing any dips in production and more expensive repairs due to catastrophic breakdowns.
Why would a business contact PRI for help with magnet maintenance?
They are an expert in this area and can help any company looking for guidance in device repair or diagnostics. They regularly perform audits on machinery with installed devices to ensure that everything is working as it is supposed to. During the audit, PRI will dispatch a skilled technician to oversee the testing process and examine the device closely.
What does a PRI audit include?
They will perform a range of diagnostics on the device during an audit, examining every aspect of the device’s performance. This will include power checks and verifying that there are no weak spots in the device’s field. In some rare instances, there may have been a problem during installation of the device that keeps it from functioning properly. They will make sure that this is not an issue. The technician will also verify that the device is being cleaned properly, as excess ferrous contaminant buildup can result in significant problems. If too much ferrous contaminant is present, it may break off and flow to another part of the machine. This can cause catastrophic mechanical failure if not fixed.
Following the audit, PRI’s technicians will put together a formal report and present findings to the company’s quality assurance personnel. This report will include photographs of the device for reference and recommendations for magnet maintenance in the future. If there are any issues, PRI will inform the company on how to proceed. This documentation will also meet HAACP and QA standards.
What if the equipment needs to be fixed?
It’s normal for the device to lose power over time as it is exposed to stressful working conditions. This is a frequent problem for industrial lifts, as they must use powerful electrical currents to run. This will create a great deal of heat, and if the device is left on longer than it should be, this heat can build up and weaken its field.
If physical damage or heat is the source of the device’s problem, repair will be necessary. In most cases, the device itself will need to be replaced. This can be finished within a week or two and expedited in some cases. Once replaced or fixed, the device will operate at maximum efficiency and, as long as it is kept in good condition, will provide many years of service for the company.
