NOTIS Equipment Keeps Running Decades Later

May 17, 2026

Every month we analyse spare part request statistics to track the real lifecycle of our machines under industrial operating conditions.

Spare part requests for equipment aged 20+ years have become a routine part of NOTIS service operations. And that says a lot — packaging equipment typically runs hard: full shifts, constant contact with product, regular washdowns, unstable power supply on many production sites. Machines that stay in service for decades are the result of engineering decisions made at the design stage.

We periodically publish spare part request reviews for ageing equipment.

Machines with a 20-year history

In April we received a number of service requests for our machines with a 20-year history:

• VFFS packaging machine MDU-NOTIS-01, 2004, Barnaul, Russia — heaters
• VFFS packaging machine MDU-01, 2005, Kazakhstan — bearings
• VFFS packaging machine, 2006, Barnaul, Russia — belts and knife
• Linear weigh filler DVDD-NOTIS, 2006, Chelyabinsk, Russia — load cell
• On-machine seasoning system OPP-NOTIS, 2005, Moscow, Russia — electromagnets

These are not machines that sat idle for decades. This equipment continues to operate on production floors, handling daily packaging tasks. The majority of requests involve routine maintenance: replacing wear parts, consumables, and individual components.

This is exactly what normal operation looks like for industrial equipment built for a long service life. For NOTIS, it is one of the most objective indicators of machine reliability and the availability of service support years after commissioning.

Spare parts and service — for the full service life
