Conducting routine visual and functional checks on the corrugator, pressure and preheat rolls. This includes examining/repairing/changing belts, pulleys, bearings, chains, gears, pneumatic systems, hydraulic systems, chillers, steam pipes lines, steam traps, pumps values (gaskets/seal) electrical connections, and control systems
