Why inspection and maintenance of blower units?

In addition to the legal requirements in SUCAM (Selection, Use, Care and Maintenance), European regulations (EN 89/656 and EN529) and national legislation, the manufacturer also states that a blower unit must be regularly inspected and calibrated.

Very few manufacturers provide a specific time-scale and/or unambiguous guidelines for complying with preventive maintenance guidelines for a motor unit.

Despite the lack of guidelines, it is essential to have your blower units serviced on a regular basis in order for these to operate correctly, and also to increase their lifespan.

What does maintenance include?

During maintenance of a motor unit, our technicians always follow through the same steps:

• Light cleaning (if required)
• Visual check to establish whether certain parts need replacing (e.g. o-rings, belts,...).
• If required, parts are replaced
• Testing and calibration of the flow rate, if applicable
• Preparation of a test report
• Applying an inspection sticker
• Logging the details of the blower unit and all maintenance work carried out into the Vandeputte database..

Maintenance can be carried out at our workshops or on-site at your premises. For on-site work, we like to assess the options in advance, based on the number of motor units to be serviced and the work to be carried out.
