Maintenance of Production Lines

Preventive Maintenance According to Schedule

Scheduled maintenance prevents malfunctions before they cause downtime. We document what we inspect on each machine and when, and we use standardized checklists. At Belned, for example, we perform maintenance twice a year, during the summer and Christmas breaks.

Malfunctions and Repairs

If a production line comes to a standstill, you want to know quickly where the problem lies. Enricofood’s Glasbest location initially called on us on an as-needed basis for breakdowns and maintenance work. At Belned, we keep track of breakdowns and reports for each production line. This creates a list of issues to address during the next maintenance session.

Improving and Remodeling

Maintenance is rarely just maintenance. At Enricofood’s Glasbest location, a major project was undertaken every one to two years. These projects involved expanding or improving production. In 2026, we completely redesigned both filling lines there—all within five weeks and within budget.

A maintenance plan for your entire fleet of machinery

If your production line includes machines from different suppliers, it can be difficult to keep track of everything. We’ll assess the machines and draw up a single maintenance plan.

We carry out preventive maintenance in three phases. This approach has proven successful time and again.

1. Preparation and planning: We track malfunctions and reports for each production line. Two months before maintenance, we walk through the lines with you. We discuss areas of concern and opportunities for improvement, order parts, and prepare solutions.
2. Process: Two or three technicians perform the maintenance, preferably the same people who are familiar with your lines. They work from standardized checklists to ensure they don’t miss anything. This includes removing dirt and grease, cleaning motors, and checking for play in moving parts. We resolve any new issues immediately whenever possible.
3. Follow-up: We’ll address any defects or wear and tear that we can’t resolve immediately after the maintenance week. One reason for this might be a long lead time for parts. We’ll prepare for these issues and order the necessary parts. We’ll then fix them during a separate appointment or add them to the list for the next maintenance visit.

This is how our “Waarmakers” make it happen.

Belned: More Than 30 Years of Preventive Maintenance

Belned has three production lines where glazing beads are coated with a durable layer of primer. We perform preventive maintenance there twice a year. Our partnership began when Belned asked us to handle all of their machine maintenance. At that time, we quickly and accurately resolved an issue with the output.

“Our machines never stop!” says Albert den Braven, managing director of Belned BV.

Enricofood, Glasbest location: 17 years as a trusted technical partner

We have been Enricofood’s long-standing technical partner at its Glasbest location in Udenhout for 17 years. The partnership began with the relocation of the production lines from Valkenswaard to Udenhout. Since then, we have remained their partner for service and maintenance. In 2026, we completely redesigned both filling lines.

“Our partnership with Van Wees Waalwijk allows us to keep our own technical organization lean and agile,” says Bart Marcoen, plant manager.

We build our own machines. Engineering, metalworking, and assembly are all under one roof at our company. We apply all these disciplines for a large number of customers. Our engineers designed the mechanical components, the electronics, and the software. We manufactured the machine parts in our workshop, and our technicians assembled everything on-site. Service and maintenance form the foundation of that relationship. Is maintenance no longer sufficient? Then our engineers will work with you to explore options for production automation or custom machine building.
