Welding Equipment Maintenance Services

Equipment Maintenance

Proper maintenance of welding equipment ensures optimal performance and longevity, allowing you to carry out high-quality welds and minimize downtime. Regular maintenance prevents equipment failures, enhances safety and reduces costs associated with replacements and repairs.

Comprehensive Welding Equipment Maintenance

Through our wide network of partners, Meritus Gas Partners offers comprehensive maintenance services that cover all aspects of welding equipment care to keep your tools in peak condition.

Our preventive maintenance program is designed to detect and address potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs. We focus on:

  • Cleaning: Regular cleaning of components like wire feeders and drive rolls removes dust, debris and contaminants.
  • Lubrication: Proper lubrication of moving parts reduces friction and wear.
  • Replacement of worn parts: Timely replacement of parts that show signs of wear and tear can help prevent major breakdowns.

Conducting thorough safety inspections helps prevent accidents and injuries, protecting your workers and your investment in welding equipment. Our safety inspections include:

  • Compliance checks: We ensure all equipment adheres to the latest industry safety standards, helping you meet regulatory requirements.
  • Accident prevention: Our inspections help to identify risks and implement solutions that prevent workplace accidents and enhance safety protocols. This includes checking regulators and valves for leaks and inspecting the overall condition of the equipment to prevent accidents and injuries.

Proper cleaning procedures for different types of welding tools, such as removing oil and fuel spills, can prevent contamination and boost the longevity of your equipment. Some of our cleaning services include:

  • Routine cleaning: Regularly removing dust, dirt and debris from the machine’s exterior and interior components prevents build-up that can lead to overheating or malfunctions.
  • Following best practices: We follow industry best practices when cleaning welding equipment, such as disconnecting power sources before starting any cleaning procedures, using compressed air to clean delicate parts, cleaning all exteriors, inspecting and cleaning cables, connectors, drive rolls, wire feeders, air filters and vents and documenting cleaning activities and observations. 

Our performance monitoring services focus on maintaining the performance and efficiency of your welding equipment. They encompass:

  • Efficiency assessments: Regular evaluations enable your machinery to operate at peak performance, which helps reduce energy consumption and increase output.
  • Early problem detection: By continuously monitoring equipment performance, we identify and resolve issues before they can evolve into significant problems, thus avoiding downtime and expensive repairs.

We have the capability to recertify and inspect high pressure cylinders, propane tanks, acetylene cylinders and offer a plethora of custom services such as neck ring fitting, resizing and replacement, cylinder bead blasting and painting. We started maintaining our own fleet of cylinders so that we can properly service our customers’ demands, and never run out of products to supply to our customers. Even though we have not been servicing our cylinder fleet for very long, it has been a boon in production and management, not just for us but our customers as well.

Our cylinder blaster allows us to remove paint scales and rust to better review the surface of the steel prior to testing the cylinder. Blasting also allows us to repaint cylinders that have been exposed to moisture to reduce any further impact moisture may have to the bare steel. Blasting cylinders removes any kind of residue or imperfections from the surface for when we test our cylinders using Ultrasonic Examination.
