An overhaul refers to the comprehensive examination, maintenance, and repair of machinery or equipment to ensure it operates at optimal efficiency. This process involves disassembling components, inspecting them for wear or damage, replacing or refurbishing parts as needed, and reassembling the machinery to restore it to like-new condition. Overhauls are critical for extending the lifespan of equipment, preventing unexpected breakdowns, and maintaining high performance standards.
At PT Solusi Bangun Indonesia, my experience with overhauls over the past three years—2022, 2023, and 2024—has been integral to our operational success. Each year, we conducted thorough overhauls of key machinery, including kilns, mills, and crushers, to ensure their peak performance. In 2022, we focused on the raw mill, addressing wear and tear issues and upgrading components to improve efficiency. The 2023 overhaul concentrated on the clinker cooler, where we implemented advanced technology to enhance cooling performance and reduce energy consumption. Most recently, in 2024, we overhauled the main kiln, replacing critical parts and optimizing the system for better fuel efficiency and output quality. These overhauls have not only minimized downtime but also significantly boosted our production capabilities, aligning with our commitment to operational excellence and sustainability.
