The Case for Service

Periodic service of lubrication equipment and inspection of conveyor systems is essential to efficient production and management of manufacturing costs. Unfortunately, we have seen many examples of chain breakage, premature wear, and high rejection rates stemming from a lack of maintenance that a periodic service program could have prevented. Don’t let a undiagnosed conveyor issue cause production or budget issues.

OPCO Lubrication Systems has factory-direct service capability, and we recently hired Paul Miller, an OPCO veteran of many years, as Field Service Engineer. Our field service engineers are available to perform a variety of functions for you, which can be very cost-effective and work in conjunction with today’s lean manufacturing technologies. 

A variety of Service Support Programs are available to you, including those outlined below. Please contact us so we can discuss your needs and provide a scope of work and quotation.
