Preventative Maintenance Programs for Taylor Equipment
Protect Performance. Reduce Downtime. Extend Equipment Life.
Preventative Maintenance Programs from Taylor Arizona help commercial kitchens operate reliably, efficiently, and profitably. Through proactive inspections, cleaning, calibration, and replacement of wear components, Taylor Arizona ensures critical equipment continues to perform as designed—before issues disrupt service.
This structured, preventative approach minimizes unexpected breakdowns, protects long-term investments, and supports consistent food quality in demanding kitchen environments.
What Is Preventative Maintenance?
Preventative Maintenance (PM) is a proactive, scheduled service strategically performed quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Unlike reactive repairs, PM focuses on identifying and correcting minor issues early, before they escalate into costly failures or operational downtime.
Programs are typically designed around individual, mission-critical pieces of equipment, making preventative maintenance ideal for high-impact assets such as fryers, refrigeration units, grills, combination ovens, and frozen dessert machines.

What Taylor Arizona’s PM Programs Include

Regular Equipment Inspections
Technicians perform detailed inspections to identify wear, inefficiencies, or developing issues early. This could include inspection of door hinges, gaskets, handles, and sensors.

Wear & Tear Assessment
Critical components such as belts, gaskets, filters, seals, and bearings are evaluated and replaced as needed to prevent failure.
Safety & Compliance Checks
Thorough safety checks help ensure compliance with industry standards and reduce risk in the kitchen. Diagnostic testing to confirm proper operation and identify hidden issues.
Equipment Training
If your team needs training on equipment start-up and use, our technician will happily run through the machine's operation and answer questions, ensuring you and your machine perform at peak operation on a daily basis.
Service Documentation
Each visit includes a Machine Health Inspection Report after service, giving operators full visibility into equipment condition and service history.
The scope and duration of service depend on kitchen size and equipment count, but every visit is designed to maximize reliability.
Taylor Arizona's Advanced Care Options
28HT Heat Treatment System
The 28HT Heat Treatment System uses controlled overnight heating and cooling cycle to safely maintain product for up to 28 days before full disassembly and cleaning are required. This advanced system significantly reduces the need for time-consuming daily freezer maintenance while maintaining strict compliance with NSF and local health department food safety standards.
By automating critical sanitation processes, 28HT helps operators lower labor demands, minimize product waste, and maintain consistent product quality without compromising safety.
Taylor 28HT-equipped freezers are available in a wide range of configurations, including gravity or pump mix delivery, countertop or floor models, and single- or multi-flavor options. Regardless of configuration, Taylor foodservice equipment is engineered to deliver reliable performance and consistent results with every draw.
Key Benefits of 28HT
- Reduced labor requirements
- Lower energy usage
- Minimized product waste
- Continuous compliance with food safety standards
- Improved product consistency and quality
For added convenience, operators can pair 28HT with the Brush Butler Program, where Taylor-authorized technicians handle the required 28-day cleanings—further simplifying operations and increasing uptime.

In addition to monthly cleanings, the Brush Butler Service includes quarterly preventative maintenance, helping reduce unexpected service calls, extend equipment life, and maintain consistent performance.

Steam Cleaning Service
Over time, foodservice equipment can accumulate product buildup, grime, and grease that impacts performance and compromises food safety. Taylor Arizona’s steam cleaning service delivers a deep, professional clean that restores efficiency and helps prevent mechanical issues.
What's Included in Steam Cleaning Service
- Full Pressure Steam Cleaning
- New Shell Bearing
- Complete Inspection of the Machine
Benefits of Steam Cleaning
Steam cleaning uses high-temperature steam to eliminate bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms while breaking down grease, carbon, and food residue in hard-to-reach areas. This chemical-free process supports food safety compliance, improves equipment efficiency, and extends the life of commercial kitchen equipment, helping reduce downtime and unexpected repairs.
Auto-Mail Parts & Tune-Up Kits
To further support equipment performance, Taylor Arizona offers regular Auto-Mailer Programs for wearables and quarterly tune-up kits with optional auto-shipment.
What's Included in a Tune-Up Kit
Tune-Up kits vary by equipment needs, but can include:
- Replacement rubber seals and bearings
- Scraper blades
- Taylor-approved lubricant
These wearable parts are essential for proper operation. Failing to replace them regularly can lead to damage to major components such as compressors and motors, resulting in higher repair costs and lost revenue.
