Explanation:
or the frequency when the equipment should be serviced.

Betreuung means maintenance or servicing. Your context: since it's a mixture of equipment of various technical specifications and age, then maintenance intervals (various as well!) and compatibility should be checked

equipment maintenance duration/duration of equipment maintenance


Explanation:
I agree with previous comment, but instead of "interval" I would resort to "duration". It seems to cover a prolonged time instead of an interval.

7 hrs
  -> That's why I did not call it servicing duration :)
