Plan Your Spring Shutdown and Protect Your Glass-lined Equipment 

Spring is the ideal time to assess equipment performance and prepare your facility for the production year. By planning your spring shutdown now, you ensure that every vessel and component is inspected, maintained, and ready for reliable operation. Unplanned downtime can stop entire production lines and major loss of revenue. Early assessments help plant managers identify risks and avoid emergency repairs. A simple inspection now can prevent major operational losses later. 

Regular monitoring makes it easier to detect the early stages of equipment issues. Monitor for: 

  • Surface fractures or wear patterns 

  • Variations in agitation performance 

  • Slow or inconsistent heat transfer 

  • Contamination or unexpected batch changes 

  • Difficulty maintaining temperature 

  • Loss of Fire polish 

  • Glass Chips down stream 

  • Leaking Mechanical seals 

These signs suggest that an inspection is due.
