Statements from CPPC:
Rechimer O. Daitol, Mechanical planning engineer at CPPC says:
“For injection pump reconditioning, as you can see, we have saved up to 61.5 man hours when reconditioning one unit of injection pump with the Chris-Marine Fuel Pump Grinding machine. In an 8 hour job, you can fininsh an injection pump assembly – unlike before, where it took us 4 days, or much worse, a week, to finish one.”
“For injection valve reconditioning, we have saved 25 man-hours when reconditioning one injection valve unit.”
So far, CPPC has machined:
88 injection valves and 76 injection pumps.
According to Rechimer O. Daitol the FPG has helped them to reduce costs and increase the efficiency:
“Because of the Fuel Pump Grinding Machine, we have minimized our labour expenses, and increased our reconditioning through put. And with regards to accuracy and precision, based on my personal experience, our Chris-Marine equipment are the best and are very reliable.”
