Maintenance Plan for a Heidelberg Vane Foiling Machine

Preventive Maintenance Plan for a Heidelberg vane foiling machine. The machine's performance had decreased from 130,000 folios to 100,000 folios per 24 hours. This drop in efficiency impacted productivity, delivery times, and generated additional costs and client dissatisfaction. The primary goal was to restore and optimize the machine's performance by identifying the causes of the efficiency reduction and implementing necessary preventive maintenance.The object of this study is the Heidelberg vane foiling machine, a key asset in the foiling process that ensures high quality and production efficiency. The methodology follows a preventive maintenance approach, which includes visual and functional inspections, general and deep cleaning, component lubrication, and the replacement of worn or damaged parts. All activities were documented and performed according to manufacturer standards and industrial maintenance best practices. It is estimated that regular, comprehensive maintenance will increase the machine’s performance and prevent future breakdowns
