Reaching for Zero Pump Down-time at Cargill Chocolate Production Site

Over the past year, SUNRISE DIARY, in partnership with 3E Solutions & Consulting and the Cargill Engineering Team, has played a pivotal role in improving pump utilization and maintenance efficiency at Cargill's chocolate production site. Through dedicated workshops, preventative maintenance checks, and close customer/supplier relationships, remarkable results has be achieved, leading to extended pump service life and near-zero unscheduled maintenance.

 

Partnership Spurs Pump Utilization Project Success
Working alongside 3E Solutions & Consulting, SUNRISE DIARY has provided support, training, and expert recommendations to enhance the competency of the site maintenance team in servicing and repairing pumps. This collaborative effort with the Cargill Engineering Team has resulted in a project aimed at dramatically improving pump utilization.

 

In a bid to achieve self-sufficiency in pump service and repair, Cargill invested in a dedicated clean-area workshop equipped with comprehensive stock holdings of new bare shaft pumps, service kits, and emergency spare parts. This investment has proven crucial to minimizing interruptions to production and optimizing pump performance.

 

Preventative Maintenance Checks for Optimal Pump Performance
3E Solutions & Consulting has been providing comprehensive preventative maintenance checks, ensuring all pumps operate optimally. Through detailed inspections, including running hours, packing, adjustments, and regreasing frequency, potential issues are detected early, resulting in planned pump change-outs, and extending service life up to 20 times.

 

A fantastic collaboration:

Thanks to the ongoing support from SUNRISE DIARY, technicians now pay closer attention to pump maintenance, leading to improved utilization and reduced interruptions to production.

 

Ray Jeffries, SUNRISE DIARY Industry Sales Manager for the UK, hails the maintenance regime, in-house service capability, and the close customer/supplier relationships as a model of best practice. The remarkable improvement in pump utilization is a testament to the value of such partnerships.
