Machine Maintenance: How to Keep Your Operations Running Smoothly

We’ve all been there: the heating system is long overdue for maintenance, and someone really should check the plumbing… But maintenance tasks are often neglected—and not just at home. The same applies to industrial machinery.

Yet regular maintenance and servicing are the best ways to prevent unexpected downtime—and the unexpected costs that come with it. If you want to keep your machines running smoothly and even extend their service life, regular maintenance by our experts is the safest choice.

Imagine the following scenario: Production is running as usual, everything is working perfectly, and you’re on track to meet your customer’s delivery deadline. Then suddenly, your machine stops.

  • What happened?
  • What repairs will be needed?
  • How many production staff are now unable to work?
  • Can you still deliver to your customer on time?
  • What will the repair costs be?

These are questions you won’t have to ask if you rely on DEGUMA care for regular machine maintenance to ensure your equipment stays in top condition.

Our experts inspect your systems regularly and quickly identify critical points in your machinery. You’ll know exactly what repairs are needed and which wear parts must be replaced to keep operations running without interruption.

You don’t need to allocate your own personnel for this task—our experienced DEGUMA service technicians take care of everything.

This way, you avoid unexpected costs from breakdowns or new investments. Preventive maintenance can be budgeted in advance, giving you full cost control.

Time is another key factor:

An inspection or maintenance task takes far less time than a machine breakdown, a potential machine replacement, or sourcing a new unit—which often involves long lead times of several months.

Another benefit: with regular maintenance, there’s no need to change the equipment your team already knows and trusts.

Preventive care keeps your machines running smoothly, without the need for adjustments or retraining. And when the time eventually comes to replace the machine, regular maintenance ensures a high resale value.

Let DEGUMA care support your operations with expert machine maintenance with DEGUMA care.
