Repair Center Services
INSPECTION, DIAGNOSTICS & REPAIR
Our clients are extremely important to us and that is why we have the best-trained personnel to attend to your fault diagnosis and repair needs, providing the support that our products require.
This level of quality is possible thanks to the constant training of our employees and the use of first-rate technology. Within our facilities, our staff works under the “Contamination Control” program, which allows you to have contaminant-free components in your equipment, resulting in longer useful life, and reduced operating costs.
Preventive Maintenance
Prevention is synonymous with maximum productivity for your machine and its components. Preventive maintenance consists of replacing items that wear out quickly and will prevent any unexpected failure or defect. This will save you repair costs and optimize the performance of your machine, avoiding unforeseen stoppages for a long time.
Preventive Maintenance Policy
This is an agreement through which we will take care of the preventive maintenance of your equipment, so that they are in the best conditions to perform the assigned work. Maintenance is performed by trained technicians, original spare parts, and based on the manufacturer’s recommendations.
The policies are designed to adapt to your needs, meaning that you can purchase personalized packages of maintenance services.

Field Services
Rimco will accompany you to the same place where your operations are carried out, offering field service at the island level to attend to your technical support needs, when you need it.
Our company provides field service with the highest industry standards. For this purpose, it has highly trained technical personnel to carry out the procedures and work recommended by the manufacturer, as well as the latest technology tools.
Power System Services
When constant testing and servicing of generators is done, it allows us to detect degradation and deterioration in performance. This will help us predict winding failures and be proactive rather than waiting for a failure to occur in the field. These services are:
Valve Adjustments
Valves can slip out of their original spaces, but when we perform regular inspection and maintenance, we can prevent your valves from leaking or sticking. Our expert technicians always refer to the original manufacturer or customer specifications and guidelines to restore your valve’s performance to optimum condition.
Full System Maintenance
Maintenance of fuel filter systems is important due to dirt and debris that can enter the tank and fuel system. This is especially common if you fill your power generators with fuel from containers in the field, where cleanliness is difficult to guarantee. Depending on the specific characteristics of your equipment and type of fuel, we suggest the service that addresses your specific requirements.
Additional Fluid Analysis
Depending on the type of fluids in your power systems, the environment and the conditions in which they are used, we can also perform additional fluid analysis. This may include oil, coolant and/or fuel. We suggest which fluids require analysis, we will detail the frequencies and we will explain the purpose and advantages of fluid analysis. We will discuss how it relates to the reliability and longevity of your power system equipment.
Transfer Switch Inspection
Regular inspection and cleaning of Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) is important. Designed to act automatically, your ATS should be checked for accurate time delays, voltage drop across charging contacts and a reliable indicator lamp and LED function. Our trained technicians will also inspect for hot spots and busbar connection issues that could mean service or replacement is necessary. Our ATS service covers these important points:
- We have an understanding of the complete structure of the electrical system from the entrance to the building, including the backup generator, switchgear, ATS, UPS, including maintenance wraps, and PDU or load distribution.
- We follow NFPA safety standards- We use the best tools and supplies, including insulated hand tools, Hepa vacuums, and recommended manufacturing maintenance supplies. We use digital multimeters and maintain and calibrate all technical gauges annually.
Customer Value Agreements (CVA)
When you know, you know.
We have solutions designed specifically to meet your needs. Because we know how much it means to you, protect your investment with the experts. Get maintenance services for your equipment and enjoy the confidence of a good job.

*Parts and fluids vary by OMM
Why the importance of performing fluid samples to generators and heavy equipment?
With the fluid samples you can determine the state or condition of your generator or heavy equipment. These samples are sent to Caterpillar laboratories where they have processed more than 26 million samples. This leads them to have unsurpassed experience and an extraordinary data bank. The Caterpillar laboratory identifies with these samples if the fluids have metal particles, viscosity, water or sediments where they can alert us if there is any component in wear, any failure, if we should monitor any condition or simply indicates that the equipment is in good condition.
Mantenimiento Preventivo
Schedule Oil Sample (SOS)
En nuestro laboratorio de análisis de fluidos S.O.S contamos con técnicos de laboratorio certificados por Caterpillar. Estos realizan las pruebas a fluidos que se han tomado de los equipos a intervalos regulares y realizan un análisis sofisticado para detectar tendencias y comparar los niveles de partículas de diferentes metales encontrados en las muestras y las características de los lubricantes contra los estándares Caterpillar.
Como resultado te proporcionamos reportes claros y concisos, interpretando los resultados y dando recomendaciones oportunas. También estamos a tu disposición para responder tus preguntas y discutir los detalles específicos del reporte, contáctanos.
Análisis de Aceite
El análisis de aceite S.O.S es un seguro bueno y razonable contra reparaciones mayores y prevención de paros inesperados. Con una muestra de aceite, podremos identificar factores de riesgo y ahorrar cantidades razonables en los presupuestos de mantenimiento.
Análisis de Desgaste de Metales: Esta prueba tiene como objetivo vigilar y evaluar el desgaste de los componentes de un compartimento lubricado.
Análisis de Contaminación: La presencia de agua, combustible, o glicol en el aceite es una advertencia de problemas que pueden requerir una corrección inmediata.
Análisis de Limpieza del Aceite: Se efectúa un conteo de partículas: Polvo, restos de soldadura, óxido, restos de pintura y más contaminantes que pueden ensuciar el aceite.
Análisis de Viscosidad: El agua, la oxidación, hollín y anticongelante causan un aumento de viscosidad en el aceite. La alta cantidad de estos y las temperaturas extremas reducen la vida útil del aceite.
Análisis Infrarrojo: En la prueba se examinan los factores que reducen la capacidad del aceite para enfriar, lubricar y limpiar.
Análisis TBN: Este análisis busca monitorear la propiedad TBN que neutraliza el azufre contenido en el combustible para retardar daños corrosivos en el motor.
Análisis TAN: Detecta oportunamente excesos de acidez que puedan ocasionar fallas en los rodamientos y excesivos desgastes en muchos componentes del sistema.
Análisis Exacto de Agua en el Aceite: El análisis HydroSCOUT, es la única prueba de sitio para cuantificar el % de agua disuelto en el aceite usado.
