An adequate stock of spare parts is essential in order to minimize the effects of system failure and production losses when a sudden breakdown occurs. Our recommendation for an adequate stock of spare parts is based on the accepted downtime period for each specific system or product.
The presence of spare parts during commissioning is essential in order to ensure completion within the agreed schedule. This is optimally, when the parts are delivered simultaneously with the actual system components.
FLSmidth Automation recommends that spare parts are purchased for all equipment at an early stage in every project. "First time sets of spare parts" for two years" of operation are normally purchased.
