Maintenance management for rubber manufacturing with bakimo

On extrusion, vulcanization and molding lines, equipment wear driven by heat and pressure can turn into major downtime if preventive maintenance is skipped. bakimo brings the maintenance issues typically faced in rubber manufacturing under one roof.

Preventive maintenance on vulcanization presses and molds

For press and mold equipment running continuously under heat, preventive maintenance is triggered by run-hour or output counters; a work order opens automatically once the target threshold is reached.

Automatic downtime detection on extrusion lines

Production data is collected automatically from PLC/Modbus-connected extrusion lines; when a line stops, the system detects it and opens an automatic downtime record, updating machine counters with real data.

Mold and spare parts stock tracking

Frequently used spare parts such as molds, seals and heating elements trigger an early warning once stock reaches a critical level; material added to a work order is deducted from stock automatically.

Machine-level fault/cost reporting

Which press or line has the higher fault frequency and maintenance cost becomes visible through reports built on labor and material data.

Typical equipment and use cases

Vulcanization presses and injection molding units
Extrusion lines and mixers (Banbury mixer)
Mold shop equipment
Steam / heating systems

Frequently Asked Questions

Are mold maintenance and mold changes tracked separately?

Yes, every mold has its own equipment record; its periodic maintenance, failure history and change duration are tracked separately.

Can we set priority for critical equipment like the Banbury mixer?

Yes, work orders can be assigned a priority level, so failures on critical equipment are queued first.

How long does setup take?

Since you can import your own machine and maintenance definitions via an Excel template, setup typically takes 2-4 weeks.
