From Tray Sealers and Automatic Wrappers to Checkweighers, packaging lines must run precisely to protect product integrity, presentation and productivity. We provide full lifecycle support—installation, preventative care, calibration (where weighing is integrated), breakdown repairs, upgrades and operator training.
Fix-on-Fail Repairs
When unexpected issues occur, our Fix‑on‑Fail repair service gets your equipment operating again quickly. Our technicians diagnose faults, carry out repairs or part replacements, and restore safe, efficient performance fast.
Fix‑on‑Fail is ideal for businesses that prefer reactive servicing, while still benefiting from Wedderburn’s prompt, professional support.
Integrated Weighing: Calibration & Verification
Where Packaging Equipment incorporates weighers or checkweighers, we provide:
- On‑site calibration with NMI‑traceable test masses
- NATA‑endorsed calibration to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 when required by your QMS
- Verification support and management of verification intervals for legal‑for‑trade components
Repairs, Remote Support & Spares
- Rapid fault diagnosis and repair across multi‑brand packaging equipment
- Remote troubleshooting to resolve configuration issues or pre‑stage parts before a site visit
- Genuine and OEM‑grade spare parts with overnight logistics where available for fast recovery.
Line Optimisation & Training
- Performance audits to optimise changeovers, reduce film waste and improve OEE
- Operator/maintenance training to lock in best‑practice handling and cleaning, extending component life and reducing faults.
Preventative Maintenance Plan (PMA) for Packaging Equipment
PMA visits focus on early issue detection and proactive component care. By identifying wear and performance drift before they escalate, your production stays on schedule and costly interruptions are minimised.
Maximise Uptime and Avoid Unexpected Breakdowns
- Consistent packaging quality and seal integrity for better seals, straighter labels and fewer rejected packs
- Extend equipment life by reducing unnecessary strain on motors, heaters, knives, belts and drives
- Lower long‑term repair costs with a dramatic reduction in emergency repairs, after-hours service, major component failure and product loss
- Predictable budgets and clear scheduling – avoid unexpected expenses and plan maintenance around production windows to minimise downtime
- Compliance, traceability and food safety – ensure scales, printers and verification systems remain accurate, safe and audit ready for QA, HACCP and regulatory compliance
- Enhanced operator safety – we inspect guards, interlocks, emergency stops and electrical components to ensure equipment remains safe and compliant.
- Improved efficiency and reduced material waste
- Priority support and faster response times, supported by technicians who already understand the equipment and site.
What’s Included in a Preventative Maintenance Agreement (PMA)
What’s included:
- Scheduled maintenance based on duty cycles, materials (films, trays, labels), and cleaning regimes
- Seal integrity checks and heat‑system calibration for sealers
- Conveyor, drive and sensor inspections to keep line speed and accuracy stable
- Wear‑part programs (belts, chains, knives, seals, printheads) to avoid mid‑shift failures
- Defined response times & predictable costs via tiered service levels
