Customer Right Approach for Compressor Maintenance
Artistic Milliners (Pvt.) Ltd. is an organization focused on manufacturing and exporting premium quality denim products in a fully vertically integrated textile set-up, having the production capacity of 36 million meters per annum. No less than 20 Atlas Copco oil-free screw compressors of ZR series and refrigerant dryers of FD series are installed in its denim units, 2 and 5.
Artistic Milliners has shown its loyalty towards Atlas Copco compressed air solutions from time to time and is possibly the most concerned Atlas Copco customer in Pakistan towards the timely and proper maintenance of its compressors and dryers.
A major overhaul of their first ZR-250 compressor was performed by Atlas Copco’s Karachi service team in unit 5 after completion of its 40,000 running hours. It included replacement of consumables/wearing parts in Inlet Valve, Drive Shaft, Oil Pump, Coolers, Silencer, Oil, etc. along with replacement of complete HP element with its bearing and Drive Shaft bearings.
On a safe estimate, this timely maintenance activity will saved Artistic Milliners unit 5, a staggering PKR 1.5 to 1.9 Million approx. each year, which was previously wasted due to HP element deration and bearing resistance.
