As equipment ages, it tends to wear eventually requiring replacement, or in many cases additional life can be attained through rebuilding or refurbishment. Carmanah offers this service for much of our equipment.

Depending on the type of equipment and nature of the required work, the repairs or rebuild / refurbish can be performed either at our manufacturing facility, or in many cases on-site.

The benefits of performing this work in the field can be considerable, particularly with respect to reduced downtime, labour and shipping costs.

CP&P (Testimonial) .....' We (CP&P) had a major incident with the HPF (High Pressure Feeder). To change it out would take 48 hours. Instead, we decided to replace the failed components on site, to reduce the downtime by half. (This was a tough decision to make as there is a higher risk involved with an insitu repair). Carmanah's immediate response allowed the work to be completed as quickly as possible because at no time were we held up waiting for parts. Carmanah's input with respect to assembly details and procedure was also key to our success. Repairs were completed in just 18 hours versus 24, cutting the downtime by almost 60%'. — Gerry Ortner, P.
