Collator Renovation

Step 1 - Back to the Frame
At Setmaster we profess to be expert at nothing other than collators.  In this regard we have the experience, the skills and the tools to rebuild and improve horizontal suction feed collators.  As part of this process we start by stripping, particularly older models, back to the frame.

Step 2 - Rebuilding
During the rebuilding process all faulty items are repaired and any parts showing signs of significant wear and tear are replaced with new components.  This typically includes the suction heads, suction and blow valves, pumps, conveyor drive, paper guides and electrics.  Additionally we modify and fit new assemblies to the machine where the design has been improved since the machine's original build date.

Step 3 - Finishing and Inspection
The original founding Director who designed and introduced the Setmaster collator still oversees a team of “Finishing Engineers” to check and approve refurbished models before delivery.  They are therefore well versed with the required procedures and knowledge to ensure all Setmaster refurbished collators meet the high standards associated with the Setmaster reputation.  Our customers are invited for a pre-delivery inspection and machines are only installed with our client's approval.  Indeed following these visits we can find ourselves tailoring some aspect of the machine's operational function to meet individual requests.  This is easily and willingly accommodated while the collator is still on our premises.

Step 4 - On Site Training
Once installed our engineer will normally spend two or three days training your operator and at your request can attend a further follow-up visit at any future date.  If helpful we can also provide a training film when the machine is in our factory running on your stock which can be kept for referral and shown to any new members of staff that might run the machine in future years.

Step 5 - Warranty
A collator refurbished by us is automatically given a warranty.  Most often that is up to 12 months and includes all mechanical and electrical parts.  This demonstrates our confidence in the equipment's smooth running, ease of operation and above all, reliable performance.
