Service technicians utilize the latest tools for measuring and analyzing airflow, lighting, heat, electrical, and gas performance to ensure that all GFS equipment is operating properly and within the guidelines put forth by all applicable regulatory organizations such as NFPA, ETL and UL.

Preventive Maintenance can be defined as a program in which wear, tear, and change are anticipated, and continuous corrective actions are taken to ensure peak efficiency and performance, as well as minimizing premature deterioration and downtime by correcting minor problems before they become major repairs. A detailed service record is instrumental in tracking booth performance. A service report baseline of booth performance can be established as all of the critical set points and readings are recorded.

Preventive maintenance involves a planned and controlled program of systematic inspections, adjustment, lubrication, and replacement of components, as well as extensive performance testing and analysis. However, we realize that equipment grows old, uses change, and techniques vary. Our experienced staff takes these circumstances into consideration so an effective maintenance program is performed to keep your equipment running safely and efficiently

The Program

Servicing Packages
Tailored to meet your needs, service engineers will provide maintenance and cleaning to ensure that your equipment maintains optimal performance. The program can include anything from the general maintenance of the booth to cleaning, and the replacement of filters.

Filter Packages
The key to optimal spraybooth performance is the regular monitoring and changing of filters. GFS can supply flexible filter packages that will accommodate all types of spraybooths. Based on your projected demands, GFS will provide scheduled “Just in Time” delivery, reducing your management time and storage space needs, while keeping your booth running efficiently and providing superior finishes!

Periodic Assessments

The Benefit

Reduced Operating Costs
GFS’ Preventive Maintenance program helps keep fuel costs down by maintaining a paintbooth that is clean and runs at its optimum performance all year long. The program also provides regularly scheduled maintenance visits that will result in a reduction of emergency service calls throughout the year, therefore reducing the amount of down time and increasing productivity.

Improved Quality Finishes
Poorly maintained spraybooths are usually full of contaminants and do not produce a good quality finish. Scheduled filter changes along with preventive maintenance will maintain quality and reduce costly repaints.
