Our Reconditioning Process

The reconditioning process follows our procurement process.

Reconditioning is the process that brings life back to surplus equipment, which allows the equipment to be a high-quality, sustainable solution to our customers.

This blog will cover our procedure, ensuring it is done to PPUK’s high-standard, and questions like:

‘What happens in PPUK’s workshop?’

‘What does reconditioning look like?’

For up-to-date examples of our process, please follow our LinkedIn. We frequently post about the steps each team member at PPUK take.

The Process

After procurement of surplus equipment, it arrives at our facilities in Newport, Shropshire, UK and is unloaded. Depending on our priorities and previous decisions, some machines will go straight into the workshop to be reconditioned. If it is decided the machine is not a priority, it will initially go into on-site storage.

Reconditioning

Our reconditioning process is structured to perfect efficiency and reliability of the machine.

Inspection and Review

1. Incoming machines get an exterior and interior clean, cleaning surfaces ready for the initial inspection.

2. No fault to either parties, but often in transportation, equipment can be slightly damaged or broken. Due to this, one of our engineers visually inspect the unloaded and cleaned machinery, noting any changes since first viewing in the procurement process.

3. A senior engineer will then review all previous inspections. Powering up the machine to understand how we can recondition further.

Reconditioning

1. After reviews and cross-checks from PPUK’s engineers, Poseidon come to a decision whether the machine is ready for reconditioning. This can be a lengthy and difficult decision due to different factors, requiring the whole of Poseidon team’s input.

2. Leading to a start of the reconditioning process within PPUK’s workshop

It is important to note; each recondition process is different thus, we show differing processes on our LinkedIn feed. With some machines, reconditioning can take time as parts need to be ordered, delivered, repaired, and/or tested. We aim to use local companies to help speed up the process.

What is reconditioning?

Reconditioning is central to our process. Often synonyms with ‘refurbishment’ or ‘repair’, our definition of reconditioning simply means getting redundant machinery back to manufacturing standard.

This process focuses on using the machines reliable parts rather than stripping down and replacing parts on the machine.
