Installation, commissioning, inspections

BFI Automation Mindermann GmbH supports its customers with extensive services in the field of flame monitoring. These include installations, commissioning, repairs and maintenance work.

A high degree of reliability is expected from safety-relevant components such as flame monitoring. Good commissioning and regular, careful maintenance are the basic prerequisites for safe operation. During recurring maintenance, irregularities in the function can be detected and eliminated in good time. We recommend that inspections and maintenance be carried out by the manufacturer or his authorised representative no later than 8 years after commissioning (assuming typical use and environment of the flame scanner). Regular maintenance work has been proven to increase the service life of the equipment and also reduce malfunctions during operation.

Plant-dependent maintenance intervals can be agreed with BFI. We take care of the follow-up and coordinate dates for the next maintenance visit with you in good time.

On-site maintenance

Our service staff will check all components of your Flamonitec flame monitoring system at your site during plant shutdown or during operation. After maintenance has been carried out, you will receive a log of the activities performed. This includes the current device settings as well as the results of the functional tests and their measured values.

The following activities will be carried out:

Disassembly of the flame scanner / flame controller / compact flame controller
Functional test of all device features incl. Documentation
Visual inspection of all components for mechanical and electrical damage
Checking the inside of the housing for foreign body and liquid ingress

Repair

If one of your units is defective, send it to the address listed on the RMA form for repair. After receipt of the device, our qualified employees assess whether a repair is economical or not. If the unit is repairable, you will receive a quote for the estimated cost of repair. The repair will only be started after receipt of your approval. If an economic total loss is determined during the assessment, we will provide you with an offer for a new device.

Should such a device be sent in, you will automatically receive an offer for a new device.
