■ site service & condition monitoring

■ predictive maintenance
Any breakdown of plant or machinery is inconvenient and usually very costly in terms of lost production.
Sulzer Dowding & Mills carries out regular surveys using techniques such as thermography, vibration analysis, diagnostic testing of motor windings and the analysis of transformer oil, to detect potential problems before breakdowns occur. This enables planned maintenance to be undertaken at a convenient time to the customer, outside critical production periods.

■ preventative maintenance
The practice of routine maintenance or overhauls during "shut downs" or at a time suitable to the operations, will ensure greater reliability of plant and optimise the efficiency of a customer's business.
Highly trained technicians are located at all the strategically placed branches to carry out this work.

■ breakdowns
Of course whatever preventative maintenance measures may be taken, all machinery is liable to that inevitable breakdown through misuse, overload or some extraordinary circumstance. It is at these times that the Sulzer Dowding & Mills "Round the Clock" service is most beneficial to customers.

■ plant removal, installation & commissioning
Site engineers are experts in the removal of plant and machinery, whatever the size and wherever situated. They are used to working in difficult environments, or where access is restricted. The equipment and experience to remove, refit and commission all sizes of electrical machines complements the repair at any of the nationwide branches.

There are occasions when the physical removal of the machine is not possible, or economical. In such circumstances emergency repair work or a complete rewind will then be carried out on site.
