HOW TO EXTEND THE SERVICE LIFE
OF YOUR VARPE EQUIPMENT

by marketing on 25 de April de 2025
Thanks to technological advances, VARPE equipment has become essential machinery in the industry. Not only do they significantly reduce operating time, but they are also easily integrated into production lines, maintaining the robustness needed to meet today's demanding requirements.

These machines are key to achieving greater accuracy, efficiency and consistency in the production process. However, to ensure smooth operation and optimal functionality, it is essential to implement proper maintenance and operation practices. Here are some essential recommendations to maximise the future performance of your Varpe equipment.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

When designing equipment, it is essential to consider environmental operating conditions such as temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, dust and vibration. Advance planning and a thorough risk assessment help to identify specific protection needs. It is crucial to determine whether protections such as IPXX rating are required to prevent the ingress of dust and water. 

EQUIPMENT DOCUMENTATION

It is essential to prepare and have available all documentation related to the new equipment. This includes, among others, a detailed user manual in the required languages, as well as specific documents for projects requiring special instructions or considerations. Ensure documentation that complies with legal regulations whether general machinery or specific to checkweighing or X-ray.

THE START-UP

The proper use of the equipment starts from the moment of commissioning, programming and configuration. This stage requires in-depth knowledge and product-specific experience that only a qualified technician can provide. To ensure solid and reliable evidence of this process, Varpe will send a certificate of commissioning, detailing the equipment and the date on which it was carried out in order to trace the quality and prolong the service life of the equipment.
ONLY EQUIPMENT THAT IS PROPERLY INSTALLED, ADJUSTED, CONNECTED, TESTED AND CALIBRATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS CAN MEET THE OBJECTIVES

STAFF TRAINING

It is equally crucial to train the technical staff of the production lines and the maintenance team. The training should include a detailed explanation of the different menu items, possible configurations and product changeover procedures, as well as a thorough knowledge of the components and functions of the equipment and their respective connections.
Fostering a culture of communication and collaboration between technical and maintenance staff is essential for efficient problem solving and continuous process improvement. 
TO KEEP STAFF KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS UP TO DATE, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO OFFER REGULAR COURSES, EITHER THROUGH WEBINARS OR FACE-TO-FACE COURSES, COVERING BOTH BASIC ASPECTS AND MORE SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS OF THE EQUIPMENT.
As VARPE's equipment is essential to ensure quality control in production. Maintaining equipment in optimal condition not only ensures operational efficiency, but also ensures the quality of the final product.
