Upgrading the Palm Oil Presses

Quality may not always be obvious, but we cannot ignore the fact that sometimes choosing a cheap option can turn out to be more expensive in the long run. In this particular case, thanks to one of Sumitomo's distributors in Central America, a sudden need for a reducer for a palm oil press was fulfilled. The press had previously been using low-quality reducers with a low acquisition cost. However, these cheaper options ended up costing more in the long term due to their frequent failures. They were not designed to last for a long time.

After the last failure, the client faced a new issue: availability. This equipment is not something that can be quoted and shipped quickly, which meant that a failure could result in the press being out of commission for months while it was either repaired or replaced. However, by being prepared for such eventualities, the distributor was able to provide an unparalleled solution in a timely manner. The client was supplied with one of Sumitomo's high-quality drop-in reducers for palm oil presses.

Thanks to the quality of the Sumitomo equipment, the press is now not only more efficient but also no longer requires the constant replacement of low-quality equipment and the frequent stoppages that this entails.
