Dismantling plan for industrial plants

Today, the industry has achieved unprecedented success in the development of construction technology. But what can we say about machines that have exceeded their useful life? It should be emphasized that the disassembly plan is just as important as the assembly itself, requiring its own standards, technologies, and safety measures. What is this complex technical process, and why should you take the time to consider it? SM Industry is ready to help you solve this problem, but first, let’s understand what equipment disassembly is.

What is disassembly?

Let’s take a look at what this is all about and why the process of equipment dismantling is so important. Dismantling is a crucial process to ensure the smooth assembly of used equipment. Equipment dismantling is carried out in the following cases: when a company is completely relocated, when equipment is replaced with new equipment as part of a planned modernization. Over the years, a large number of used machines have been adapted to the circumstances and needs of their owners.

Preparation of the dismantling plan

During industrial dismantling, machines can often take up more space than when initially delivered. To minimize costs, unnecessary delays, and unforeseen incidents once dismantling work has begun, dismantling planning and control (DPS) should take this into account. Thorough tracking and documentation of the process will support subsequent technicians during reassembly and provide peace of mind for the buyer. A qualified engineer with advanced technical training will be assigned to the machine relocation. In theory, this plan for a specialist includes the following steps:

  • Obtain information about the machine
  • Define documentation
  • Planning the division of labor
  • Check whether special tools are necessary

A complete dismantling plan for production equipment requires precise knowledge of the dimensions and weights of the various parts. This ensures that the deadlines for dismantling, packaging, loading, and transport are met. The technicians and network of machine handling specialists collect this information. Effective planning requires minimizing delays and associated unforeseen costs. A precise transport cost estimate is required.

Logistics support for your dismantling project

For the implementation of the dismantling plan, it is important to have the appropriate means of transport. Therefore, we would like to offer you our professional services in dismantling planning and logistics. When developing an equipment dismantling plan, logistics are of utmost importance; it is an essential part of the entire process. When dismantling the machine, consider the dimensions and the method of disassembly and loading onto the vehicle. The weight and dimensions of the equipment are very important components in logistics. Ensure that the electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, water, gas, oil, and air systems are properly disconnected to avoid accidents and facilitate reinstallation. The technicians carefully separate the various parts of the machine to adapt them to the vehicle and facilitate reinstallation. Any oil, hydraulic fluid, or other liquids contained in the machine must be vacuumed out to prevent contamination and spills during transport. SM Industry has extensive experience in logistics and equipment disassembly, and we want to help you solve your problems with quality, professionalism, and safety!
