Operations & Maintenance
The reliability of process equipment is only as good as the maintenance it receives. Maximum reliability and efficiency from process equipment can only be achieved in conjunction with an effectively managed maintenance system. Routine maintenance and inspections: The engineers at Outotec’s service centers understand the pressure of process production. Routine maintenance and inspections can reduce the risk of premature equipment failure, breakdowns or poor process performance. These services are essential for ensuring long-term viability and profitability of minerals and metals processing technologies. Outotec services are adapted to fit the customers’ needs. Our service portfolio scales from preventive maintenance inspections to supervision and execution of shutdowns.
Safety workshops
Minerals processing and metallurgical plants are generally operating under extremely hard conditions. This means hazardous risk for all persons involved to operate and maintain the plant and equipment. Our technologies and plants are designed and manufactured under severe safety regulations and norms. Comprehensive and continuous safety workshops are carried out throughout the project implementation and commissioning. However, as soon as the plant is in operation, it is important to maintain the high standard of safety.
Overhaul and shutdown services
Major shutdowns for maintenance or large overhaul works are required at all plants. To minimize production losses, it is important to decrease the required shutdown time by increasing the campaign life of the major equipment. Outotec can help you in several ways at major shutdowns.
