The
Doosan Portable Power Certified Re-manufacturing Program recently restored the
100th air compressor to move through the program to like-new condition. Under
the program, Doosan Re-marketing Services re manufactures older, larger model air
compressors and provides a new warranty.
“The
fact that we’ve re manufactured 100 compressors under this relatively new
program means we are addressing a need for our dealers and customers,” said
Marc James, aftermarket marketing manager. “This is an alternative for
price-conscious customers or those who want to give their compressor a second
life.”
The
program works two ways. Customers can either sell their used air compressor to
Doosan Portable Power to re-manufacture and re-sell or customers can retain
ownership of their original machine once it has been re-manufactured. Doosan air
compressors or units originally manufactured by Ingersoll Rand with capacity
greater than 750 cfm are eligible for the re-manufacturing program.
Upon
arrival at Doosan Portable Power headquarters in Statesville, North Carolina,
compressors are first subjected to a thorough 117-point inspection. Parts that
meet Doosan Portable Power quality standards are reused whenever possible to
minimize waste. Following the inspection, air compressors are disassembled down
to the frame before the rebuilding process can begin.
Each
air compressor receives a re manufactured engine of the same tier classification
as originally equipped, as well as a re manufactured airend. Usable parts from
the original air compressor are thoroughly cleaned and inspected again before
reassembly. New fluids are added and filters replaced, while the exterior sheet
metal and frame receives a total makeover, including paint stripping and
recoating — all with strict adherence to the stringent Doosan Portable Power
painting process.
“We
do the re-manufacturing in our factory with our technicians and parts so we can
ensure the highest quality possible. Our technicians are our most valuable
asset,” said James.
Once
the re-manufacturing process is complete, each machine is registered in the
Doosan Portable Power system with a same-as-new machine warranty that includes
one year or 2,000 hours on the package; the manufacturer’s warranty on the
engine; the airend standard warranty of two years or 4,000 hours; or the airend
extended warranty of five years or 10,000 hours with the use of genuine Doosan
filters and fluids. This warranty is fully transferable in the event a customer
resells the compressor prior to the expiration of the warranty. Each machine is
delivered with a complete set of manuals as well as a certificate indicating it
has been through the Certified Re manufacturing Program.
