Repairs

Bottero offers the repairs service for parts returned by the Customer in its own establishments.

The offers usually include:

  • a preliminary visit to evaluate the state of the machine and to define a list of parts to be replaced and the activities to be carried out
  • the intervention of one or more Bottero technicians, specialised in the execution of maintenance operations at the Customer’s establishment
  • the supply of the parts to be replaced..

On the Customer’s request, preventive maintenance plans can also be elaborated and offered under the form of contracts with annual validity, which envision one or more interventions and the supply (at special prices) of spare parts kits to replace on a preventive and programmed basis.

Training

Bottero also trains the Customer’s operators and maintenance technicians, both in their own and the Customer’s establishments.

The main subjects that can be discussed during training are the following:

  • running and troubleshooting of the machinery and electronic control systems
  • maintenance of the machinery and electronic control systems, with particular attention to consulting the maintenance documentation and for the selection of spare parts
  • production processes and elimination of defects.

Other subjects can be treated on request.

  • in Bottero establishments
  • at the Customer’s establishment

Training on site

Training can be carried out in the Bottero establishments of:

  • Cuneo for Hollow Glass and Flat Glass Cut machines
  • Trana for Flat Glass Grinding machines
  • Pesaro for Bimatech numerical control machines
