We help keep you competitive by minimizing costs and maximizing the return on your equipment investment. Our global service network and 360° Service Portfolio support your operations at all times, stopping problems before they occur
Correct maintenance is crucial
Extending the performance of your equipment relies on the correct maintenance procedures being observed. Magnus Christersson, Division Manager at Service Nordic, Alfa Laval explains, “performing regular maintenance on your equipment is key to reducing costs and securing uptime in production.” Alfa Laval’s global service network is driven by customer needs, dedicated to securing production uptime, being readily available, providing quality service and optimization to ensure your peace of mind.

We understand your need for a speedy response when it comes to your production and try to respond to all requests within one day.”

Preventive maintenance - prevent problems before they occur
By servicing your equipment only when necessary, you can ensure operational reliability and maintain performance. Preventive Maintenance reduces unplanned stops, increases equipment lifetime and reduces workplace accidents. It also enables you to make the best use of resources and reduce spare parts stock.
Preventive maintenance is performed as a stand-alone service when your equipment has been in operation for a certain number of hours, and at a fixed interval to avoid unplanned stops. The service can also be part of a Performance Agreement. Our experts analyze your operating conditions, determine accurate maintenance intervals based on various factors, including type of application as well as the usage and condition of the equipment, supply genuine spare parts, and perform maintenance on board, on site or in one of the Alfa Laval Service Centers located close to you.
