Description
of Condition,
Used Machinery
Throughout our website we refer to equipment in various conditions.
They range from:
New: All parts
are new manufacture throughout. Test-run
and ready for service.
Nearly New:
Similar condition to new, except the machine may have been sitting for a period
of time or perhaps operated in a short test-run regimen.
Excellent:
Describes a machine that is complete and ready to run.
Very Good:
A machine that may need seals or other readily serviced parts renewed but
otherwise there are no major mechanical faults.
Machine can be placed back in service relatively quickly.
Good: As
very good above, except there is more normal wear on the machine. This machine
would require minimal service work to put back into operating condition.
Fair: This
usually represents a complete machine taken from service that is complete and
operating; however, the machine should have some maintenance effort performed
before placing this unit back in service. (Ex.
Gearboxes are working but may have leaky seals; air cylinders are functioning
but may leak air, etc.)
Poor: A
machine that would require major reconditioning and refurbishment to bring back
into service. It may be missing
parts.
*Any changeparts that may be needed for your particular application must be
addressed separately for machines of any condition.
Description of Condition, BGI
Serviced/Rebuilt Machinery
We
refer to the following terms to describe the levels of preparation for our
machinery:
New:
All new parts and pieces throughout
Remanufactured:
This is our highest level of preparation for a used machine, and it
functionally and cosmetically looks like a new machine. The basic machine
castings or framework are stripped and repainted and built back up to become a
complete machine. In the case of the crimper, for example, we provide all new
parts for the entire crimp heads throughout.
New posts pins cam followers etc are used in the rebuild.
All remanufactured machines carry a one year warranty on all “hard
parts”. Seals and other normal
consumables/wear parts are excluded.
Reconditioned:
This level of preparation provides a highly prepared machine in excellent
working order. A machine prepared in
this manner will have more used parts than the remanufactured machine.
However, we use our extensive mechanical judgement to provide a high
quality machine or system.
IRAN
:
Our acronym for Inspect and Repair As Necessary.
This level of preparation is usually reserved for equipment in excellent
or nearly new condition. We do not
completely disassemble the machine, but instead conduct a thorough testing and
evaluation of the machine, and perform a full maintenance program on the
particular machine or system.
