Sullair39s 1000th remanufactured compressor will be presented to Energy Rentals Solutions Caterpillar — Sullair's 1,000th remanufactured compressor will be presented to Energy Rentals Solutions Caterpillar.

The Sullair Certified Reman Program rolled out the 1,000^th remanufactured compressor on Jan. 25. Sullair partnered with Springfield Manufacturing Corp. in March 2013 and has progressively grown its remanufactured compressors since that time.

“The industry is really starting to become educated on the value of this remanufacturing program, what the true process is, and the benefits to not just the environment, but the rental fleet owner’s bottom line by converting a used fleet with more rental revenue than new, less downtime, and a new warranty,” said Brian Waldo, Sullair remanufacturing director.

The remanufacturing process used by Sullair and SRC fully disassembles the air compressors. The components are cleaned, reclaimed to meet Sullair specifications or replaced with new, all while updating the units to the latest engineering designs prior to being put back in stock.

“It is a situation where the reman compressor is better than when it was produced new,” added Waldo. “For instance, all controls are updated to the latest revisions.”

Sullair and SRC will celebrate the 1,000^th reman compressor milestone with a special “midnight edition” that will be presented to Energy Rentals Solutions Caterpillar (ERS Cat).

To learn more about Sullair’s Certified Reman Program, visit Sullair at Booth 4701 at the American Rental Association show in Anaheim, Calif., Feb. 17-20.

Jack Stack, CEO of SRC will speak during the ARA educational sessions on "The Great Game of Business", Feb. 17, 9:45-11:15 a.m.
