Full service conveyor maintenance
A lion’s share of the future costs of a material handling system are determined by the choices made at the beginning of its life cycle. Most of the life cycle costs come during the post-commissioning period in the form of spare parts, labor, maintenance and energy. Good planning and consideration of life cycle costs at the earliest possible stage can significantly reduce in-service costs.

Hydrodemolition
Our service offering also includes hydrodemolition, where high pressure water is directed at the cracks and pores of the concrete surface, whereby poor-quality material is broken and good material stays intact. Hydrodemolition cleans steel and leaves an undamaged base, which allows further processing of the good surface. Hydrodemolition does not damage the usable structure, so the rebar stays intact and is cleaned of rust at the same time. Hydrodemolition can also be used to demolish entire structures, such as edge beams.
- Cleans the steel surfaces
- Does not damage structures
Mechanical blasting
Dry ice blasting is ideal for areas where the use of water is prohibited. Dry ice is a substance of almost -80 ° C, completely non-bacterial and non-toxic, compressed from liquid carbon dioxide. The dry ice does not liquefy at any stage, but as the temperature rises it gasifies and melts by evaporation. The blast freezes the material that is being removed, after which it cracks and eventually comes off.
- Dry ice cleans efficiently
- Moisture-free and non-toxic cleaning
Frequently asked about conveyor maintenance
-
What does continuous maintenance include?
Continuous maintenance includes preventive inspections, reporting, conveyor maintenance, mechanical maintenance, shaft alignments, and re-lubrication tasks. These procedures ensure the reliable and safe operation of conveyors.
-
How often should conveyor systems be serviced?
The frequency of maintenance depends on the operating environment and load, but NewPaakkola offers expert services to optimize maintenance intervals and anticipate potential service needs. A regular inspection schedule can help prevent major downtime and extend equipment lifespan.
-
What are the benefits of preventive inspections?
Preventive inspections help detect potential issues before they develop into serious faults. This reduces unexpected shutdowns, lowers repair costs, and increases the safety and longevity of the equipment.
-
Why are shaft alignments and re-lubrication important?
Shaft alignments and re-lubrication are essential for maintaining conveyor balance and operational reliability. Proper alignment reduces wear and vibration, while re-lubrication ensures the longevity and smooth operation of bearings, improving the overall efficiency of the system.
