Keep Calm and Carry On Conveying with our Maintenance Services

In most fast-paced manufacturing, warehousing, or distribution environments a conveyor system is the operational beating heart. If it stops, deadlines slip and costs quickly mount up. So, it goes without saying that keeping your conveyor equipment in peak condition is vital to your bottom line.

At PJP Conveyors, we provide comprehensive support, maintenance and an emergency response service that keeps your business moving. We are both a reliable conveyor servicing company that can handle routine upkeep of your machines and the people you turn to following an unexpected breakdown.

We’ve got you covered either way (or for both).

Why Regular Servicing is Your Best Defence

Unplanned breakdowns are every operations manager’s worst nightmare. You might as well throw your daily schedule in the bin. Chaos is likely to ensue, followed by expensive emergency repairs. However, many of the issues that caused your conveyor to go on strike are entirely preventable with a regular servicing contract in place.

A professional conveyor servicing provider, like PJP Conveyors, will have your back with:

  • Proactive Maintenance: Identifying and resolving minor component wear before it turns into a catastrophic failure.
  • Tailored Packages: Annual servicing, remote PLC support, night shift/weekend coverage to fit around your operational hours – you choose what you want.
  • Peace of Mind: Relax knowing that your equipment is optimised for performance, safety and longevity.

PJP Conveyors does a host of preventative maintenance activities in line with manufacturers’ schedules.

We Repair All Conveyor Systems—Not Just Our Own

“But I don’t Have a PJP Conveyor…” you may be muttering. Well, there’s no need to worry about that as we’re not elitist about conveyors in any way.

One of the common misconceptions in the industry is that you must rely on the original manufacturer of your specific equipment for maintenance. At PJP Conveyors, we are proud to offer expert conveyor repair and maintenance for machinery manufactured by other companies than ourselves.

Our multi-skilled engineering team works with all major brands and systems—including Conveyor Units (Uni-XU), Interroll, Ambaflex, Qimarox, Itoh Denki, and many more. No matter who built your system, you can trust PJP Conveyors to deliver the same high standard of care and technical expertise.

Nationwide Emergency Call-Outs: Whenever and Wherever You Need Us

Equipment failures rarely happen at a convenient time. When a line goes down you will need a rapid response team that can quickly get you operational again.

PJP Conveyors is happy to accept an emergency call out from anywhere in the country. Wherever your facility is located, our experienced engineering team is ready to mobilise, diagnose and carry out professional conveyor repairs to get your business back on track with minimal disruption.

Replacing chains, sprockets, drive bands and bearing housings in line with manufacturers schedules

Replacing chains, sprockets, drive bands and bearing housings. Just like cars need engine belts and chains changed, conveyors need their components looked after.

You Get All the Bells and Whistles With Us

Our years of experience have taught that us a lot about the peripheral support that conveyors need. So, these days we make sure every eventuality is covered with these PJP service add-ons:

  • Spare Parts Management: We will tell you which critical recommended spares to keep on-site so it’s there as soon as you need it. We can also source OEM parts and even manufacture bespoke parts (mechanical and electrical).

  • System Relocations: If your machine needs to change where it calls home, we can manage the move with safe electrical and mechanical disconnection, transport and re-commissioning of the system in its new  location.

Keep On Moving

Don’t wait for a breakdown to find out the true cost of neglected equipment. Whether you need a dependable partner for routine conveyor servicing or an emergency conveyor repairer you can count on nationwide, PJP Conveyors has you covered.

Manufacturing in 2023: 5 Major Changes we’ve Noticed

Manufacturing in 2023: 5 Major Changes we’ve Noticed

Oct 3, 2023

We have spent several decades in factories and seen a great deal of change during that time. Here are our recent observations on the latest trends in manufacturing – in particular in British manufacturing. We’ve also included our thoughts on the opportunities and challenges they bring.

 

1) Data is huge

Whilst we work with electrical controls and integrating them into conveyor systems, the sheer breadth of electrical components now in manufacturing processes has given businesses more data than ever before. Dashboards, showing key management information, are something we see on most site visits. This constant reporting means problems are found quickly and can be dealt with.

 

2) A changing shift in the perception of AI

AI is very much becoming the norm in manufacturing and its presence is noticeably modernising manufacturing processes. Inventory management, supply chain management, predicting demand… it all uses AI now. AI is uniting entire supply chains and giving factories the ability to manufacture seamlessly. The fear that initially surrounded AI and its potential to take away jobs is lessening. In fact, seeing cobots working alongside human workforces to make processes slicker and safer is ever more common.

 

3) Predictive maintenance

This is a particular area of AI that interest PJP. Servicing and maintenance are essential to protecting hard-working equipment. And now AI is taking this idea to the next level with predictive maintenance systems helping companies nail the optimum time to replace parts: ensuring components use close to their maximum lifespan and minimising costly downtime caused by wear and tear.

 

4) Reduction in the workforce

Recruitment challenges are huge. The ‘great resignation’ we are still seeing has been caused by the perfect storm of low unemployment rates and high inflation in a post pandemic world where many workers are assessing their work-life balances. It’s a struggle to recruit skilled manufacturing engineers and workers – this is being compounded by many overseas workers now being painfully difficult to attract with new visa requirements.

 

5) Leaving the EU has created greater challenges

Manufacturing businesses buying from EU countries face increased paperwork, time and cost to get the items they need, and this has huge consequences for efficient manufacturing. When selling to overseas customers, mystical duty rates and resulting fines have left many manufacturers scratching their heads wondering just what is going on. 

 

We hope you’ve enjoyed this article on the latest trends in manufacturing. We like to keep our finger on the pulse when it comes to both manufacturing and warehousing. Automating processes with a new conveyor or maintaining existing machinery can be a game changer for manufacturers and we pride ourselves in finding solutions for our customers that provide impressive returns on investment.
