PRESS RELEASE - NOVEMBER, 2009
OUT WITH THE OLD & IN WITH THE NEW!!
K&M recently completed installation of a fully remanufactured SLS-1000 at the Dothan Eagle, Alabama. SLS-1000 parts and service are not new to K&M as we have been supplying parts, retrofits, hopper rebuild and exchange program for a number of years – this was a total factory rebuild from the ground up. Utilizing the same techniques and practice we have been using to remanufacture Harris style inserters and our engineering know how to develop the Titan Series of Shaft-less Inserters, K&M went to work on remanufacturing the SLS-1000 inserter with the same vigor. All moving parts including but not limited to gears, gearboxes, cams, cam followers, drive belts, collator chain, sprockets, chains, clutches, and springs were replace with new parts. The guarding was upgraded to OSHA standards and electronics and controls were also upgraded.
The result was an inserter that was returned to better than original specifications and afforded K&M to offer our customer worry free warranty – this customer does not have to worry about fixing a used piece of equipment while learning to operate it. Like a wise man once said, “remanufacturing and warranty are the only cure for used machinery blues”.
