There are many ways to reduce costs and Larox is committed to helping customers reach their most ambitious cost saving and productivity targets. Larox's comprehensive and safely implemented service programmes, starting from installation and maintenance services until the end of the filter's lifespan, are all aiming at maximum availability, minimum operating costs and optimum process results.
Mr Juhana Ylikojola, vice president for Larox, said: "Larox Service's role is to ensure that our customers stay competitive. We make sure that our filters and filtration solutions operate efficiently and economically with optimum process results and throughout the entire lifespan of the solution."
Mr Ylikojola explains that the Performance for Life service concept developed by Larox is perfectly adapted to today's challenging business environment. "Our target is to help our customers maximise availability, reduce operating costs and achieve optimum process results. Cutting operating costs is not just about getting the best spare parts in time. With Larox's in-depth experience, filtration and application knowhow, we can implement the best, globally tested and proven operating and maintenance practices. Our service portfolio also includes process optimisation and modernisation programmes and products, all leading to improved performance and lower costs."
As a global company, Larox offers local services to customers worldwide. Mr. Ylikojola said: "Best results are achieved through close and in-depth customer cooperation. This permits us to fully understand our customers' specific needs and to propose service solutions that support their maintenance and operational strategies and targets. Safety issues, Larox Service personnels' number one priority, are more and more important to our customers. We have very high safety standards in the products we manufacture and the same applies to the maintenance work at site. Larox does not compromise on safety."

Spare parts services
OEM parts ensure reliable operations and the lowest operating costs. Parts availability, as well as fast and reliable deliveries, are guaranteed.
Start-Up services
Start-Up services include guidance and hands-on training of the customer's personnel. Equipment performance is optimised up to design parameters.

Larox provides local customer and maintenance support by the company's twenty service centres around the world. Globally approved operational and maintenance best practices are implemented in order to improve equipment reliability and performance.
Training
Tailor-made training programmes are organised for the customer's operation and maintenance personnel. Training improves production output, reduces operating costs and lengthens the lifespan of the equipment, while at the same time special attention is paid to safety issues.
Process optimisation and modernisations
Filter performance can be further enhanced through process optimisation and modernisations. Process optimisation services include in-depth filtration process and equipment mapping, analysis, de-bottlenecking and optimisation solutions. Modernisation services permit customers to take full advantage of technological progress and to update equipment in many ways. Production capacity and quality is improved and production costs reduced. In most process optimisation and modernisation cases major environmental improvements can be achieved with lower energy and water consumption.
Refurbishment and relocation/resale
Finally, Larox offers refurbishment and relocation/resale services that maximise the value of the original filtration investment.
