How we help our customers maintain product quality, reduce unplanned downtime and save costs
Established in 1965, Ventilex has since grown to become a global leader in drying and thermal treatment equipment. Our fluid bed dryers, sterilizers, belt dryers and air dehumidifiers serve customers in more than 80 countries. We have an installed base of over 1,000 machines, operating all around the globe. With our deep experience in thermal treatment of minerals, food, feed and chemicals, we are able to help our customers in a most fitting way, according to custom designed thermodynamic profiles. Amongst others, we cover the drying, cooling, sterilization, roasting and puffing of your product.
The importance of regular inspection and maintenance service
Service in terms of periodic, regular inspection and preventive maintenance is essential to avoid unplanned downtime and prolong the lifetime of the equipment. Our data from over 1,000 installed machines globally shows that equipment which does not receive regular service:
➡ Has on average 2 to 3 weeks unexpected downtime each year
➡ Has a reduced lifetime of between 10% and 50%, depending on operating conditions
➡ Has over double the costs of maintenance during its lifetime compared to regular service
➡ Uses 10 to 20% more energy than regularly checked and re-tuned machines
A lifetime partner for your drying needs
It is needless to say that regular, professional service pays off in maintaining product quality, reducing unplanned downtime and saving operational costs. As a lifetime partner in drying solutions, we offer support not only during the set up, but also after the installation has been placed. With our knowledge of heat re-usage techniques and energy savings, we help our customers reduce their operational costs.
