    Operator Mindset: Decrease Maintenance with QCW Bearings | Kleen-Rite Radio Ep 18

    Ep. 18 (Operator Mindset: Decrease Maintenance with QCW Bearings) Using quality, well-designed replacement parts is a great way to make your car wash maintenance easier. It sounds simple but it’s frequently overlooked. Operators often choose less expensive products or neglect to stay abreast of new options, not realizing they could save significant time and energy with a superior component. In episode 18, Marc and Phil explore this idea using IPTCI QCW bearings as an example. They’re joined by Ryan Linke from Solve Industrial Motion Group – the company behind these exceptional bearings. They discuss some of the features of QCW (Quadseal Car Wash) Bearings, with the most important highlight being their “lubed for life” design. They maintain proper lubrication without needing to be regreased, eliminating a messy, tedious task from the operator’s to-do list. Listen to the entire episode to hear more about the QCW line, plus some valuable general knowledge about bearings. Thanks to Solve Industrial Motion Group for sponsoring this episode, and to Ryan for contributing to the conversation!

In episode 17, Kleen-Rite Radio hosts Marc and Phil discuss what they call the “The People System.” This is an extension of the conversation they had in episode 14 about getting outside help. It’s all about creating a reliable group of distributors, landscapers, plumbers, electricians, bookkeepers, and other resources to help you maximize efficiency. As always, they share some of their personal experience and talk about what this looks at their own washes. This is an important topic to the guys, and they love motivating operators to get out of the “I need to do everything” mentality. Thanks to Solve Industrial Motion Group – manufacturer of IPTCI bearings – for sponsoring this episode. This is the fourth episode in the Kleen-Rite Radio Operator Mindset series.

    Ep. 16 (Operator Mindset: Preventative Maintenance)Want to get out of the repair rut? In episode 16 of the Kleen-Rite Radio podcast, Marc and Phil have an in-depth discussion about maintenance strategies that help you predict and avoid breakdowns instead of reacting to them. It starts with taking an honest assessment of your facility and viewing things from a different angle to see what you might be overlooking. It may even be helpful to have a distributor or technician come in and give you a complete overview of your site. The guys point out crucial habits like keeping a maintenance calendar or schedule, breaking down maintenance into segments, and documenting all the work done at your site with notes and pictures. They go through an extensive list of items they address consistently to avoid larger problems in the future, like conducting scheduled oil changes, regularly replacing hoses to avoid wasteful air and water leaks, committing to frequent cleaning, and much more. Listen and transform from a reactive operator to a prepared one! Thanks to Solve Industrial Motion Group – manufacturer of IPTCI bearings – for sponsoring this episode.
