<p>Is focusing on reducing costs from your <a href="https://www.henryparts.com/machining" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>hydraulic valve </strong></a>one of your 2018 goals? Or, maybe your overall budget was cut this year. Whatever the case, there are ways you can cut costs or save money with your valves.</p><p><br></p><p>PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE</p><p>If you haven’t launched a preventive maintenance program or process at your plant, now’s the time. The purpose of preventive maintenance is to avoid the costs that come from unscheduled downtime. This includes loss of productivity for longer periods of time and higher repair and/or equipment costs. By scheduling time for routine maintenance, you also keep your equipment running more efficiently on a continual basis. Here are some steps you can take to implement the program.</p><p><br></p><p>CHECK FOR LEAKS</p><p>External leaks are obvious and easy to spot…just follow the puddles. But, how often do you check for internal leaks? These aren’t as quick to reveal themselves, so you need to look for indicators like pressure loss, noise in the system, heat build-up, pump running more often, drops in the accumulator level, or continuous flow from the descale nozzle. Internal leaks can quickly cause damage to other areas of the system which can cause bigger issues.</p><p><br></p><p>UPGRADE YOUR DESCALE VALVE</p><p>This falls under the spend-money-to-save-money category. But, it’s possible your valve could stand to be upgraded. If it’s been a while since you replaced or upgraded your <a href="https://www.henryparts.com/machining" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>descale valve</strong></a>, there are options available that address many of the issues that cause you to have higher costs associated with your valve.
