Pepper Maintenance Systems, Inc was founded in 1998 by Randall Springer and Keith Schmidtgall. Randy had worked in the grain industry through farming and in grain elevators. Keith owned an industrial electrical company that had serviced the grain industry for many years.
Their goal at the time was to bring infrared inspection services to an industry with great need. Over the years, Pepper Maintenance® has grown from an infrared provider into a full-service reliability company. The team focusses on grain related industries such as elevators, feed mills and flour mills as their primary clientele.
Technologies have advanced and new services have been added through the years to round out the options for their clients and to more completely inspect assets. Not all tools are a right fit for clients. Each client can use any one or all of the tools offered. Building the right programme for each facility is essential to creating a program that works.
Reliability maintenance is about finding faults before they become a major failure. Early detection allows for repairs to be performed during planned downtime. Increasing reliability and efficiency in a facility will reduce costs and increase production without capital expense.
Reliability services currently provided by Pepper Maintenance® include infrared inspections, vibration analysis, ultrasound, motor circuit analysis and motion amplification.
Infrared inspections
The first service offered by Pepper Maintenance®, was infrared inspections. Pepper Maintenance differs from other providers by offering mechanical inspections as well as electrical. By analysing heat flow in mechanical assets, technicians identify abnormalities.
Infrared inspections on electrical systems can detect resistance in connections. Bad connections cause a loss of electrical energy that is already paid for and not used. This lost energy is converted to heat and not used at the motor. There is no other way to identify the source of these electrical resistance connections. Pepper’s technicians are adept at heat flow analysis needed to identify problems in mechanical and electrical systems.
