The process here is well beyond a servicing operation. Each critical component is carefully cleaned, machined or replaced to meet the finest tolerances. Where possible, newer technology may be introduced that can give customers an advantage in cycle times, cell uptime, control and management. The whole machine is then repainted, reassembled and fully tested in the Center, before being shipped to the customer’s foundry, where it is installed and recommissioned for production. Meier says that remanufactured machines can then be as good as new. And are just as easy to maintain. “Of course, at Bühler Brescia, we only use approved parts, which ensures that availability of spare parts and ongoing servicing and maintenance will be easy to manage for many years to come.”
