Equipment Management

Participants included:  David Peritore, owner of Winery Service
Connection in Santa Rosa, Calif.;
Bruce Edwards, vice president of operations for Scott Laboratories in
Petaluma, Calif;
Jon Johnson, sales manager for Carlsen and Associates in Healdsburg,
Calif and
Harvey Gonzalez of Euro-Machines in Fairfield, Calif.    

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

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 causing the bearing to 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, Scott Labs and Winery Service Connection.

WSC has picked up on aspects that were missed previously in
equipment checks.
The review and communication have made us more confident going
into harvest.
Your attention to safety related aspects is appreciated. Since we
enrolled in the
Equipment Management Program, we have had less production
interruptions.
Our production line is more reliable than it has been in the past.

Winery Service Connection has made my job as a consulting
Winemaker a lot easier - facing
several different process flow equipment sets over several clients, I
could count on Winery Service Connection to keep the wine flowing
under any conditions (including some of the toughest I've seen in 25
years of wine growing!).
