Prevent Unexpected Downtime Before It Impacts Your Bottom Line

Machine failures don’t just result in repair costs. They can lead to lost production, missed deadlines, overtime, and expensive emergency services.

Capital Machine’s Preventative Maintenance Program combines scheduled maintenance, oil analysis, and condition-based monitoring, using machine health data to identify potential issues before they become costly breakdowns and keep your equipment operating at its best.

Why Reactive Maintenance Costs More

Every hour of unexpected downtime affects more than your production schedule.

A reactive approach to maintenance often leads to:

Lost production time

Emergency repair costs

Overtime labor

Missed delivery deadlines

Shortened equipment life

Higher operating costs

Capital Machine’s Preventative Maintenance Program helps identify potential issues early, giving you the opportunity to plan maintenance before those issues disrupt your operation.

What's Included in the Program

Every Preventative Maintenance Program includes:

Two scheduled visits per year

A comprehensive multi-point machine inspection

Hydraulic oil sampling during each visit

Laboratory oil analysis

A Red, Yellow, and Green condition report

Recommended next steps based on the machine's condition

When an issue is identified, our team provides clear recommendations and helps coordinate the next steps. Any repairs, parts, or oil changes are quoted separately so you can make an informed decision before additional work is completed.

Oil Analysis: Maintenance Based on What Your Equipment Tells You

Oil analysis is a key part of Capital Machine’s Preventative Maintenance Program. During each scheduled visit, our technicians collect an in-service oil sample for laboratory analysis and conduct a comprehensive multi-point inspection.

The lab results can reveal early signs of component wear, contamination, fluid degradation, and other concerns that may not be visible during a routine inspection.

Instead of changing oil simply because the calendar says it’s time, your team can use the results to determine when maintenance is actually needed and track trends over time.

The result is a more informed approach designed to:

Sample-to-Report Flow
