Maintenance Procedure

 Machine Name:
APSOL (automatic packaging machine)
 Purpose:
Routine and extraordinary maintenance for the machine in different
time of year.
 Procedure:
o Lubrication:
Lubrication should be carried out adhering to the times and
intervals indicated below. The indicated parts should be checked
