Streamline Your Filling Machine Start-up with Our Comprehensive Service and Support

June 9, 2025

Investing in new filling equipment is a significant step for any production facility. At Laub/Hunt, we understand that a successful start-up is critical for your operational efficiency and productivity. That’s why our filling machine contracts include a dedicated Service Call and Start-up Policy designed to get your systems running smoothly from day one.

What’s Included in Our Start-up Service

When you purchase a new filling machine, we include a specific amount of In-Plant Time for commissioning and training. This time is factored into the overall cost of the machine, so you won’t face unexpected charges for your initial training and start-up support.

Here’s how it works:

  • In-Plant Time covers the hands-on commissioning and operator training needed to get your new equipment up and running.
  • The number of days provided depends on the cost and complexity of your specific project.
  • These days are included at no extra charge — giving you the confidence to launch your production line efficiently.

Please note that any unused time is non-refundable and cannot be carried over to future service calls. If you require additional days beyond the included service, they will be billed at our standard Service Call rates.

What You’re Responsible For

While we cover the labor and expertise, the Customer is responsible for all travel and living expenses associated with the Service Call or Start-up Trip. We always aim to minimize these costs by booking coach airfare and using corporate hotel rates wherever possible. To help us secure the best rates, we recommend providing at least two weeks’ notice before scheduling your trip.

Why Choose Us for Your Filling Machine Start-up?

  • Expert Technicians: Our experienced team ensures your equipment is set up to run at peak performance.
  • Comprehensive Training: We train your operators to handle the equipment with confidence and efficiency.
  • Cost Transparency: We clearly outline travel and accommodation costs, so there are no surprises.

Let’s Get Started!

" NeverDown helps customers identify and address issues before they become problems, giving them greater visibility and confidence in their operations." A Proactive Approach to Equipment Reliability Unlike traditional reactive service models, NeverDown focuses on preventive maintenance and early intervention through: Routine mechanical and system inspections Calibration of filling accuracy and consistency Verification of seals, valves, and critical operating components Cleaning and conditioning of components exposed to corrosive products Performance testing under actual operating conditions Each service visit follows a detailed inspection checklist customized to the specific equipment configuration, ensuring comprehensive and consistent evaluations over time. Customized Maintenance Programs Laub\Hunt tailors each program to customer requirements—from monthly inspections to annual comprehensive evaluations—coordinating maintenance with production schedules to minimize disruption. Programs account for production volume, operating conditions, product corrosiveness, and uptime objectives.

Responsive Support FillSure combines on-site field service with remote diagnostics, enabling rapid issue resolution while deploying technicians only when hands-on intervention is necessary.
