The article re-enforced the importance of inspecting and maintaining production equipment after harvest.

Article Bullet Points:

- Desiccant bags in control boxes

- Inspect press bladders for even tiny holes.

- Don't over lubricate your bearings or the bearing seals will fail 

   prematurely.

- Cleaning must pumps properly.... is a rare occurrence.

- Cover pump ports to keep rodents and insects out.

- NEMA-4 water proof control boxes are not moisture-proof.

While ongoing professional maintenance is the route recommended by the round table group, on-site training can also be arranged through Carlsen & Associates, Scott Labs and Winery Service Connection.
