Written by Bradyn Kelly | 25-May-2022 2:00:00 PM

At Itipack, we design and sell strapping machines that are low maintenance and help increase your business's efficiency. Nevertheless, like all the equipment you might use, regular maintenance can help maximize your strapping machine's life and minimize downtime. 

Therefore, we are proud to offer a comprehensive suite of preventative maintenance services. We work closely with our clients to develop and implement a maintenance plan and schedule that works for them and supports their business. This helps to ensure that our clients can put themselves in the best position to remain optimal, efficient, and profitable. 

What we offer

Our preventative maintenance services include the following features: 

  • Comprehensive parts inventory
    We know how frustrating it can be when you need a simple part, but it is back-ordered from the supplier. For this reason, we carry many spare parts on hand to serve you quickly and help minimize your downtime.
  • Strapping head repair/rebuild programs
    If you require a head rebuild or repair, we are here to help and can typically complete the job in 7-10 working days. While you are waiting, take advantage of our loaner/rental strapping head program if required. 
  • Strapping equipment audits/service
    Regular equipment audits help ensure you know what maintenance is required to keep your business operating optimally. Furthermore, it lets you stay informed of any optional upgrades you wish to leverage for your company. 
  • Equipment training and strapping head training
    Ensure your personnel has the training they need, whether they are new to the job or wish to take the training as a refresher course. 
  • Strapping head-equipment retrofit services
    Our expert team of engineers, equipment designers, and project managers can provide complete retrofitting services for your strapping equipment, and we offer a full line of strapping equipment components. 
  • Annual preventative maintenance programs
    Our preventative maintenance programs are tailor-made based on the needs of our clients.
