Mechanical presses: refurbish or recycle?
Time takes its toll on everything, and mechanical presses are no exception.
They work hard, have to withstand heavy loads and all kinds of wear and tear over many years.
That is why preventive maintenance and the replacement of some of their worn components are necessary, with the aim of extending their service life as much as possible – actions which, in many cases, are put off until it is already too late.
Even if you try to keep the machines in the best possible condition, the time comes when you have to decide…
Do I invest in buying a new press or in rebuilding it?
