Stop Firefighting: Build a Proactive Maintenance Culture That Could Save Millions 


FREE PODCAST EPISODE | Processing Pros from Processing Magazine 

Are you tired of scrambling when equipment fails? 

Most process manufacturing facilities operate in constant reaction mode—running equipment to failure, then rushing to patch things together. This approach might seem like the best decision when budgets are tight, but it's actually costing your facility far more than preventative maintenance would require. 

Join Scott Kloetzer, Director of Business Development at LJ Star, for an eye-opening conversation on how to build a better maintenance approach. In this podcast episode, you'll discover: 

  • Why "running to failure" costs 5-10x more than prevention 

  • The knowledge crisis as experienced technicians retire 

  • How visual verification prevents costly sensor failures 

  • Practical steps to start preventative maintenance on tight budgets 

  • Real examples of maintenance failures and their consequences
