Equipment Installation & Startup
New pumps, agitators, separators, and related equipment installed and commissioned by technicians who already service them. The first run matters. We make sure it goes right.
A bad install costs more than the equipment.
New equipment that's misaligned, undersized, or installed without proper electrical and mechanical setup becomes a service problem within months. Operators inherit a unit that doesn't quite work right, and warranties get murky fast. The right installation pays for itself the first year.
Installed by the same team that will service it.
When XDS installs the equipment, we're the team that maintains it for the next ten years. That changes how the install happens. Mounts get verified, electrical gets confirmed, plumbing gets tested, and the operator gets a real handoff with documentation. No 'good luck' as we drive away.
The scope of work.
- New equipment installation across the Central Valley
- Mechanical mounting, alignment, and confirmation
- Electrical hookup coordination with the dairy's electrician
- Plumbing and piping connections
- Commissioning and first-run verification
- Operator orientation and walkthrough
- Manufacturer documentation handed off properly
Common issues we fix.
Mount alignment
Especially critical for pumps and agitators. We check runout, baseplate level, and coupling alignment.
Electrical sizing and direction
Wrong rotation kills a pump. We confirm before startup.
Plumbing fit
New equipment, old piping, often needs adapters. We have fabrication for the gaps.
Operator handoff
Half the post-install service calls are 'I'm not sure what this does.' We walk it through.
Documentation
Manuals, serial numbers, warranty registration, all handed off in writing.
Step by step.
Pre-install site visit
Confirm the install site, measurements, utility connections, and access.
Equipment receiving
Inspect on arrival for transit damage.
Install
Mount, plumb, wire, and align.
Commission
First run with the manufacturer's startup procedure.
Handoff
Operator walkthrough and documentation transfer.
