Braun Brands its Remanufactured Equipment Program

Posted March 31, 2017 at 12:24 pm



G.A. Braun Inc., Syracuse, NY, recently announced the branding of its Certified Remanufactured Equipment with a new logo and program description.

"We felt that it was very important to make certain that the market, and our valued clients, clearly understood that Braun is the only company that is certified to remanufacture its products,” said G.A. Braun President Joe Gudenburr. “Too often we find clients who buy our products from used equipment resellers that claim that they have remanufactured these items. The reality is that these machines are at best reconditioned, and often are modified from our OEM specifications resulting in unsupportable units.”

Braun’s remanufacturing process includes the following steps: Braun takes an existing machine, strips it to bare metal and rebuilds it to the current-day equipment specifications.

Braun’s example of rebuilding a washer/extractor:

  • Strip to bare metal
  • Convert older multimotor units to single motor drive (where applicable)
  • Inspect all weldments and make any repairs that are required
  • Install a new wash cylinder in the machine
  • Install a new drive motor, bearings, seals and new inverter
  • Install all new hydraulics, pneumatics, electronics (to include a brand-new touchscreen PLC), and a new suspension
  • Repaint the machine using a “green” paint process
  • The machine is certified to CSA and ETL standards
  • Braun then provides a new equipment warranty with the machine that is backed by Braun as the OEM, therefore, Braun customers don’t have to worry about component obsolescence
     

“As we all look to reduce our carbon footprint, and reclaim/extend the life of equipment, this solution offering not only provides significant value, but it is an exceptional green initiative,” Gudenburr said.
