Finding The Right Filter Winding Machine

Finding The Right Filter Winding Machine

Wednesday, January 9th, 2019 Published By: maverick 0 Comments

Good quality winding machines are essential to many manufacturing processes. These machines can contribute significantly to improved quality control, increased productivity and reduce costly waste. It is important to carefully consider the purchase of new filter winding machines, as all are not created equal. There are several filter machines on the market developed from old refurbished textile machinery or made using old-fashioned manufacturing processes. These options can cost your business time and money in terms of costly installation, sub-par production rates and expensive maintenance.

With many manufacturers of filter winding machines on the market, it is important to do some research into the company you intend to buy from. Here are some tips to follow when you are looking for a supplier of filter winding machinery.

Experience

Industry experience is essential. A company that has lasted through the years is likely to have built up a loyal repeat customer base. This company will also have a deep understanding of the industry, which will lead to a better service for you.

Ask about their technology and processes. Many filter winding machines that are on sale are refurbished models or are not made using up to date technology. A good manufacturer will be open about the technology they use. Manufacturers of filter winding machines should be using precision built parts and laser cut frames to ensure their machinery is of the highest quality possible. Better quality machinery leads to lower set-up times as well as quick and easy filter length changes. This better quality means less downtime and higher productivity for you.

Customized services

Not every business is the same, so why should they need the same things from their filter winding machines? A good manufacturer will take the time to understand your needs. These manufacturers will be able to suggest a wide range of different features and also produce custom specialty filters for your business. Manufacturers should be able to show you how to create filters of not only standard sizes, but also filters of unique lengths, for example a 9 5/8″ length filter with ease of doing so. Machinery should be able to adjust to special lengths and diameters, as well as microns, easily.

Quality

Ask for recommendations and check for references from satisfied customers. If a manufacturer cannot provide at least one happy customer testimonial, then you should perhaps look elsewhere. It is also worth asking where the filter winding machines are assembled and where the parts are manufactured. Cheap, mass-produced and inferior parts often lead to unreliable machinery and increased downtime, which will lose you money in the long run.

Installation

It is crucial for anyone new to filter winding machines that their supplier offers a start-up service. This service can include installation of the filter winding machine, a list of the raw materials needed and staff training on how to use the machines. This training can happen either on-site, at the machinery plant or at their premises. They should also offer technical assistance for the filter winding machinery as often as needed.

After care

A good after-care service is essential if your machines are to be productive and reliable. Your chosen filter winding machine supplier should offer continuous technical support and a servicing package should anything go wrong. Technical support is crucial to any after care situation!
