Pre-Owned Inventory
Once perceived as strictly a way to save money
when evaluating a capital equipment purchase, a growing number
of OEMs and Tier One suppliers now consider remanufacturing
to be a key component of their lean manufacturing strategies.
And, as a result, they are achieving significant cost and production
efficiencies, with very little risk.
Given the current manufacturing environment,
remanufactered lines from Automatic Feed Company offer significant
advantages:
- 40-50% cost savings over new equipment
- Robust built designs offer years of continued service
- Production rate capacities capable of today's demanding standards
- Much, or all, of the supporting infrastructure can be saved
and re-utilized
- Updated warranty and service documentation
- Energy and raw material savings
Remanufactured lines also give you added flexibility
to handle new parts or new part features, not feasible in the
original design. Existing coil blanking lines can be “repurposed”
cost-effectively to accommodate the industry shift to high tensile
steel. And, new levelers can be added to existing lines to eliminate
the material handling issues that often accompany new steel
surface coatings.
