Plumbing manufacturer increases capacity
RE-BUILD CUSTOMER
A plumbing manufacturer has been running two Hydromat Legacy machines for 25 years at three shifts per day. Originally the company contacted Hydromat directly for new equipment, plus one more machine for increased capacity. The investment for new capital equipment was beyond their current budget that’s when Hydromat-RE answered the call.
Two “new” castings were in inventory, they were RE-built and RE-tooled to meet the customer specifications and process. Full qualification runoff to a 1.67 Cpk on all characteristics was achieved.
Two customer machines came back to Hydromat-RE and one was RE-built, runoff and returned to the customer. The second machine is in stock for their next project.
Meeting current production needs
RE-TOOL & RE-CONFIGURATION
A contract manufacturer worked with Hyrdromat-RE to create a custom pick-off and milling solution.
Hydromat-RE worked with the customer to design the pick-off unit and the vertical flanges for the milling operation and one for the axial slotting. Additionally, a unit was engineered and integrated with the pick-off unit to extract the part from the table collet and separate the two halves from the grip stock.
A 50/100 unit was also installed on the machine to turn the outer diameter of the part.
From valuation to final sale
BROKERING SERVICES
Hydromat-RE has extensive connections with manufacturers and job shops interested in buying used Hydromat Legacy machines and selling existing machines. We were contacted by seller looking to offload a 45-12 machine.
During our consultation, Hydromat-RE inspected the machine and determined market value.
We generated substantial “buzz” by marketing the machine through our various channels and connections in the industry. Within days, the Hydromat machine was sold and brought back to Hydromat-RE to be RE-configured to machine the new owners parts.
