Spares, commissioning and the years after the sale.
A filament line runs for a decade. The first year decides whether it runs well: spares that fit, operators who know the line, and someone who answers when a parameter drifts.
Spare parts
Parts that wear, supplied to fit
Screws, dies, haul-off belts, water-bath parts and winder components wear. Spares are supplied to the specification of the machine they were ordered for, so a replacement fits the line it is going back into.
- Screws and barrels to the original specification
- Die heads and inserts, including dual and tricolour tooling
- Haul-off belts, winder spindles and guide rollers
- Water-bath, vacuum and gauge components
Commissioning
Commissioned where it will run
The line is commissioned on site. Operators are trained on start-up, colour change, spool change and shut-down; maintenance staff on the checks that keep the line in specification.
- Start-up sequence and temperature profile
- Colour change and die change
- Spool change and tension setting
- Weekly checks and fault finding
Remote support
Most faults are settled in a conversation
Send a photo or a short video of the screen and the fault code, and we will talk it through over WhatsApp or a call. Four things make that conversation short:
- The model code and serial number of the line
- A photo of the alarm screen and the fault code
- What changed since the last good run
- The material lot and the target output at the time
Checks that keep a line honest
Maintenance
Filament quality drifts before a machine fails. These are the checks worth putting in a schedule.
- Screw and die wear — output falls and the diameter variance grows
- Water temperature and water quality
- Belt tension and haul-off speed
- Gauge calibration against a hand micrometer
- Winder alignment and spool tracking
Response times, warranty cover and service visits are set out in the order documents. Ask us for the current terms.
