Best Practices for the Maintenance of Industrial Washing Machines in Clinical Environments: How to ensure their long-term performance?

Proper management of an industrial washing machine in clinical settings is crucial to ensure efficiency, thorough cleaning and durability. For those who rely on these machines on a daily basis, knowing how to keep them at peak performance can go a long way in avoiding any unforeseen problems. 

The key to ensuring the long-term performance of your industrial washer in a clinical setting is to follow a preventive maintenance program, respond quickly to problems with corrective actions and ensure that your staff is properly trained.

Preventive maintenance of your industrial washer

An industrial washer, when used in a clinical setting, can be subject to heavy use. Therefore, it is essential to implement a preventive maintenance program that can anticipate problems before they become critical.

First, it is important to ensure that the industrial washer is in an appropriate space, with sufficient ventilation and in a clean condition. Next, regular inspection of all key parts of the machine should be performed. This includes hoses, seals, electrical controls and rotating parts. In this way, you will be able to discover any premature wear and tear and request repair or replacement before it causes any major problems.

Corrective maintenance and quick response to problems

No matter how thorough your preventive maintenance program is, sometimes problems can arise without warning. Therefore, a quick and efficient response to implement corrective actions is another essential practice for industrial washer maintenance.

Having a dedicated service technician scheduled to make regular visits can provide peace of mind. In addition, in the event of a serious problem, it can be a lifesaver, saving time and costs in the search for emergency equipment.

Proper training of personnel in the operation of the industrial washing machine.

Both cleaning and maintenance personnel must be properly trained in the correct operation of an industrial washing machine. Operational error due to poor training can result in long-term damage to the machine, additional costs, and shutdown of clinical operations.

Training should include proper loading and unloading of the machine, selection of proper settings, use of recommended cleaning products, and operation of basic control functions. In addition, personnel should be instructed on how to detect common signs of problems, such as leaks or unusual noises.
