The Case for Remanufacturing: Extending Foodservice Equipment Life
In today's fast-paced convenience and foodservice industry, maintaining uptime of foodservice equipment is essential for ensuring customer satisfaction and efficient operations. Over time, foodservice equipment experiences wear and tear resulting in downtime and maintenance costs.
That’s where remanufacturing comes in.
Purchasing new foodservice equipment can be costly. Remanufacturing beverage dispensers and foodservice equipment offers significant cost savings and environmental sustainability. Remanufacturing provides quality, reliability and compliance because the equipment is being built to a ‘like-new’ state. Additionally, remanufacturing offers customized options and in turn, can help reduce downtime in your operations.
At Marmon Renew, we specialize in remanufacturing a full range of equipment including:
- Beverage
- Valves
- Carbonators
- Fountain,
- Coffee and tea
- Frozen carbonated equipment
- Juice dispensers
- Commercial and restaurant-grade equipment
Whether a business is a convenience or gas station store whose owners offer fountain and frozen beverages and coffee for purchase; a QSR or FSR serving customers, fountain and frozen carbonated beverage brand owners; or a bottler that provide beverage dispensing equipment to their customers, remanufacturing can provide efficiencies to a business.
Our Proven Process
As foodservice equipment is received from customers, it undergoes a thorough inspection and triage process by our skilled technicians. To begin, the extent of any damage to the equipment is determined. Then a rigorous process is followed:
- Inspection & Triage. Units are disassembled into their individual parts.
- Tear Down & Disassembly. Trained technicians inspect each part for defects, damage, and cosmetic appearance.
- Clean & Sanitize. The parts are cleaned and pressure washed where needed.
- Re-Graining & Buffing. Pieces are re-grained and buffed.
- Assembly & Build. Processes include additional cleaning and sanitizing; the parts are processed accordingly.
- Quality Testing & Programming. Technicians perform quality testing and programming of components.
- Final Assembly. Upon passing inspection, the parts are staged and assembled.
- Final Packaging. The equipment is packaged and shipped.
Cost Savings
One of the most significant advantages of remanufacturing is the cost savings it provides. Remanufactured equipment is more affordable than purchasing new units. By choosing remanufactured beverage dispensers and foodservice equipment, businesses may save substantially, and in turn, reinvest in other areas of the operation such as staff training or marketing. Warranties are offered, depending on the type of equipment.
Environmental Sustainability
Remanufacturing can play a crucial role in promoting environmental sustainability. By choosing to remanufacture equipment, businesses can reduce their carbon footprint. The remanufacturing process at Marmon Renew involves reusing existing components, when possible, which minimizes the need for new raw materials, in turn reducing waste. We estimate we dispose of less than 3% of the original equipment. By supporting remanufacturing, businesses can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and appeal to environmentally conscious consumers.
Quality and Reliability
Marmon Renew remanufactures to a ‘like-new’ condition so the equipment can be just as reliable and well-performing as new equipment. We follow stringent quality control processes to ensure equipment parts meet or exceed industry standards.
Equipment components are thoroughly inspected, repaired, or replaced as needed, and then the equipment is tested to ensure optimal performance. The attention to detail that our technicians provide ensures that remanufactured beverage dispensers and foodservice equipment deliver consistent and reliable results in serving carbonated and frozen beverages, hot coffee and tea, and keeping products cold in commercial freezers.
Compliance
We utilize an assembly line production process and follow a rigorous schedule of final inspections and testing set to equal or exceed OEM specifications. We have a quality management service (QMS) focused on continuous improvements.
