Maintenance and Longevity of Industrial Cleaning Systems

Written by Geicos Group | Apr 9, 2025 8:28:12 AM

In the world of industrial cleaning, the efficiency of a system is not only measured in terms of performance, but also in its ability to last over time, always maintaining high quality standards. For Geicos, this vision represents the norm, the common denominator of all the projects we work on. That's why we design industrial washing solutions oriented not only towards performance, but also towards continuity.

 

Designed to last

Each of our systems is developed with the aim of being solid, reliable and easily maintainable. The choice of specific materials such as AISI 304 stainless steel, the accessibility of internal components, the modularity of the systems: these are all elements that reflect our commitment to durability. In addition, we provide constant technical support and a responsive spare parts service to guarantee customers continuity of service.

We also believe that innovating also means simplifying, and for this reason we integrate intelligent solutions for monitoring and diagnostics into our systems, with interfaces designed to facilitate the work of operators. This also allows us to reduce human intervention in critical moments and extend the life of industrial washing machinery.

 

Your intervention is also needed

It is often believed that maintenance is an activity to be carried out only in the event of a breakdown. In reality, adopting preventive maintenance means investing in operational continuity and plant safety. For this reason, for our parts washers we promote good practices that help our customers keep the machines in perfect efficiency, reducing costs and plant downtime.

 

Practical Maintenance Tips

We were saying that to ensure the longevity of industrial washing systems, it is not enough to intervene following a failure. On the contrary, it is necessary to have a precautionary attitude for which maintenance becomes a habitual practice.

What are some simple practices to extend the life of the systems?

Regular cleaning of the system/machine

It may seem trivial to some, but at the same time it is one of the fundamental activities that many underestimate. The accumulation of residues can compromise efficiency and cause damage over time. Frequent cleaning, done with the right tools and in critical points, allows you to keep the system in excellent condition for much longer.

Periodic inspections

Occasionally it is necessary to closely observe the machinery and check the integrity of gaskets, pumps, valves. In this way it is possible to intercept signs of wear even before actual failures occur. Scheduling routine checks helps to prevent possible failures and always intervene promptly and in a targeted manner.

Certified spare parts

Sometimes, to save money or because of bad advice, we tend to replace parts of the machine with non-original ones, underestimating how much this aspect guarantees the maintenance of performance. This, however, greatly increases the risk of compromising the quality of the work as well as reducing the life of the machine. Certified spare parts are the only spare parts that ensure compatibility, reliability and durability over time.

Continuous operator training

Although Geicos parts washers are built to be extremely accessible and easy to use, not all operators always know exactly how to use the machine, which can compromise its operation. For this reason, providing regular training can be the key to reducing errors, increasing safety and improving day-to-day management of the plant.

 

Maintenance and Culture of Care

Taking care of machinery does not only mean using it correctly. It means paying attention to everything that revolves around production: the safety of people, continuity in work, protection of investments made. A well-maintained machine works better, longer and with fewer unexpected events.

For this reason, our commitment does not stop at just design or sales: we want to be a point of reference over time, helping our customers to build a real culture of care: a culture that saves time and resources, reduces environmental impact and makes daily work more peaceful and sustainable.
