Fast payback on rebuilt wirecut machines
Date: 23 April 2007
Rebuilt wirecut machines from Baker Perkins offer a high rate of return on investment
Fast return on investment, due to affordable price and like-new performance, is the key reason companies are opting to modernize their Baker Perkins, APV Baker or Werner Lehara Wirecut machines. Prices can be half that of a new machine and in a recent test case, a wirecut Rebuild from Baker Perkins paid for itself in 197 days.
By rebuilding or replacing an existing wirecut head and adding design enhancements, a rebuilt wirecut can significantly reduce variations in piece weight, resulting in less product waste, higher yields, improved sanitation and faster changeover. Actual tests run on a rebuild reduced piece weight variation by 50%. The company offers a range of options and will both quantify and guarantee yield improvement. Consistency of size, color and moisture is improved as well.
When it comes to ongoing support, a rebuilt wirecut offers everything expected from a new Baker Perkins machine. Aftermarket support includes expert installation and commissioning, process development and testing, die design and manufacturing, spare part sales, and 24-hour technical assistance. Rebuild options vary from a simple head refurbishment to a complete machine upgrade,including a new style head and filler block. Components are manufactured to the original or updated specification, and offer maximum performance and service life.
