Environmentally friendly and energy efficient, the RunEco vacuum system provides a reliable, completely water-free vacuum solution. RunEco EP Turbo Blowers are economical to own and operate. But as with any other equipment, to assure trouble-free operation and long life, regular turbo blower maintenance is recommended. Runtech provides different service models, ranging from a basic bearing unit exchange to predictive maintenance. An extended maintenance package contains all the key parts and checks needed to keep the RunEco EP Turbo Blowers in perfect operating condition.
“This service agreement with Runtech provides us with the full life cycle management for turbo fan-driven vacuum systems. It also reduces administrative work in maintenance and purchasing and also strengthens the cooperation between the parties,” says Perttu Vikman, Maintenance Director, Metsä Group.

This will help the customer to make a more detailed budget in case there is a need to change the capital spare parts,” says Jussi Lahtinen, Sales Director, Runtech Systems.
