New or Rebuilt? Start With the Application.
Published:
There's no universal answer to one of the questions BRT receives regularly:
Should we buy new equipment or rebuild something proven?
Both can be excellent investments.
Both can also be the wrong investment.
The answer starts with the application.
When Rebuilding Makes Sense
This Balemaster EO-2520 auto-tie baler is a good example.
BRT started with a proven industrial machine and put the time into reconditioning it for another productive life.
A proper rebuild can address areas including:
- Hydraulic systems
- Cylinders
- Electrical systems
- Controls
- Structural condition
- Wear components
- Auto-tie components
- Filtration
- Safety systems
- Operational testing
The objective isn't simply appearance.
The objective is dependable production.
When New Makes More Sense
There are other situations where starting with new equipment is the better investment.
Maybe production has increased.
Maybe the existing equipment isn't right for the material.
Maybe parts availability has become difficult.
Maybe labor requirements are too high.
Maybe the operation needs more automation.
Or maybe the customer simply wants a machine with known history, current technology, factory support, and warranty coverage.
That's when BRT's manufacturer relationships become important.
We're Not Limited to One Type of Machine
Depending on the application, BRT can evaluate new equipment including:
Auto-tie horizontal balers
Closed-door balers
Full-eject balers
Small and large two-ram balers
Vertical balers and compactors
Industrial shredders
Mobile slow-speed shredders
Conveyors
Size-reduction equipment
Industrial vacuums
Complete material-handling systems
That's important because sometimes the answer isn't another baler at all.
