In mining, quarrying, and heavy industries, each minute of equipment downtime hurts your bottom line and your productivity. At KBM Pacific, we believe that preventive maintenance is not only a chore, but a strategic investment that safeguards your operation, your people, and your profits.
The True Cost of Waiting for Breakdowns
Depending on reactive maintenance – repairing gear only when it fails – can be very expensive. Unexpected downtime causes production schedules to be interrupted, shipments to be delayed, and other components of your equipment to be damaged. Crisis repairs and rush orders result in higher costs, and safety hazards multiply since abrupt failures place your people at risk. Aside from money, this reactive stance sucks the energy from your staff as they are always reacting to emergencies.
Preventive maintenance reverses this scenario. It avoids costly interruptions and facilitates smooth operations by catching problems early.
From Fixing to Preventing: A Smarter Mindset
Proactive maintenance is about looking at your plant as a system where every component affects the entire system. At KBM Pacific, we work with you to determine major maintenance areas through comprehensive on-site assessments. We do maintenance in planned downtime, fixing equipment at the most convenient point to keep your operation running without delay. Proactive maintenance becomes a competitive tool instead of a cost.
Hands-On Experience That Works
KBM Pacific brings decades of hands-on, on-the-ground experience. Our trained personnel detect minute signs of wear and misalignment that could lead a system to failure if left untended. By optimising maintenance schedules to your plant’s exact needs, we keep repairs on schedule—avoiding wasted resources and costly break downs.
Actual Benefits You Can Count On
Preventive maintenance helps you reduce unplanned downtime, extend equipment life, and lower repair costs. Well-maintained equipment runs more efficiently, saves energy, and lowers power bills. Scheduled maintenance and inspections increase workplace safety and help you comply with regulatory requirements. Budgeting becomes simpler and more accurate too, with no hidden costs.
Building a Proactive Maintenance Culture
Maintenance is not procedure-oriented—maintenance is about people. Make your staff maintenance-aware by training operators to spot early warning signs and promoting communication between shifts. A culture of fixing things early and keeping things running comes from clear, practical maintenance guidelines.
Planning and Budgeting with Confidence
Preventive maintenance allows you to schedule against low-impact periods, reducing disruption and facilitating more effective financial planning. This planning ahead provides greater levels of stability and comfort in operations.
Safety and Environmental Sustainability
We provide your New Zealand compliance with high safety and environmental standards by maintaining equipment in safe and effective operation. This reduces emissions, prevents environmental pollution, and protect your staff and corporate reputation.

Our Method
Preventive maintenance works best when it is tailored to your equipment and environment. KBM Pacific offers:
• Catching Problems Early with On-Site Inspections: Our crew visits your location to inspect your equipment carefully. We check for minor issues such as wear and tear or misplaced parts. This way, we are able to catch issues early on before they become costly, major breakdowns, and assist you in planning repairs in advance.
• Data-Driven Smart Maintenance: We track your systems and track how they’re performing over time. This enables us to see any small variations that can mean something is about to fail. Thus, you can plan maintenance when it’s needed, instead of guessing.
• Flexible Maintenance to Fit Your Schedule: We plan our maintenance operations at your convenience, selecting times that will not interfere with your operations. This enables us to carry out essential work without shutting down production when you least anticipate it.
• Long-Lasting Good Repairs: We employ premium parts that are as good as, or superior to, the original parts. We also ensure everything gets installed properly so it performs at its best. This extends the life of the repairs and has your machines operational and safe again.
We recognise the needs of processing and mining, and no two facilities are ever the same. We work with you to create a strategy that gives you maximum uptime and lowest cost.
