Preventive maintenance for insulated containers : ensuring the success of ATP renewal

In the food logistics industry, maintaining Olivo insulated containers is crucial for ensuring product quality and safety. Regular maintenance not only prevents early deterioration and equipment sustainability but also reduces the risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) among staff. Learn how to enhance your equipment’s performance through effective maintenance practices and tailored training.

How to maintain my Olivo insulated container ?

Proper management of your Olivo insulated containers relies on several key maintenance practices. Here are the essential steps to ensure their optimal functioning:

1. Regular visual inspection
   
   • Perform regular inspections to detect signs of wear or failure. Check the integrity of:
     • Walls
     • Seals
     • Closing mechanisms
       
   • Preventive inspections help identify issues before they impact your operations.
     
2. Refrigeration system check
   
   • Ensure the refrigeration system is functioning correctly. Verify the sealing of the eutectic plate and SIBER® trays, as well as the attachment of magnetic eyelets. For the SIBER® system, the injection totem also requires regular maintenance, including defrosting.

3. Cleaning and disinfection
   
   • Clean the interior and exterior of the containers with appropriate products to maintain high hygiene standards. Disinfection is also crucial to avoid cross-contamination.

Tips for regular maintenance

To optimize the maintenance of your Olivo insulated containers, consider these practical tips:

1. Using specific tools
   • Employ appropriate tools for cleaning and maintaining containers. Using the right tools prevents surface damage and improves maintenance efficiency.

2. Temperature checks
   • During use, regularly monitor the internal temperatures of containers. Ensure they stay within recommended ranges for optimal performance.

3. Recording interventions
   • Keep a maintenance log to track performed interventions, replaced parts, and relevant observations. This documentation helps plan future maintenance.

4. Post-intervention checks
   • After each intervention, conduct a full test to ensure everything functions correctly. Check seals, closing mechanisms, and the refrigeration system.

Maintaining insulated containers is vital for ensuring their performance and food product safety. By implementing preventive maintenance practices, training your teams, and following rigorous maintenance procedures, you can extend the lifespan of your equipment and enhance your logistics operations.
