A supermarket bakery in Singleton lost production from one of its roasting ovens in the lead-up to a busy trading period.
The site runs a Technobake roastrunner double unit, a workhorse piece of bakery production equipment. When one side stopped cycling correctly, the impact was immediate. Reduced output. Disrupted production scheduling. A piece of capital equipment sitting partly idle during a period when demand was high.
What Was Happening
The unit had stopped running correctly due to wear across several interconnected drive components. When drive components wear together over time, the failure is rarely isolated to one part. Getting the oven back to full production meant addressing the full picture, not just the most visible symptom. Partial repairs on this type of equipment tend to return as repeat callouts within weeks.
How It Was Handled
PEMS attended site and completed a full assessment of the drive system. The repair covered the chain, tensioning assembly, top bearing, packing glands, shaft coupling and drive motor. Components were sourced and fitted, the unit was levelled, run up and tested under load before sign-off. The work was completed in a single visit. No return trip. No outstanding items.
The Result
The roastrunner was returned to fully operational condition and documented against the site asset record. The operator received a complete service record covering every component replaced or adjusted, traceable to the specific asset on site.
