ALMIK Manufacturing & Service are now offering their Customers a cost savings Spindle Replacement Program to help fight the rising cost of replacement parts for Firwood White Sidewall Grinders. This program will allow you to be cost efficient while keeping the W.S.W.Grinders in top working condition. This will allow you to get a good consistent quality grind out of your equipment while allowing you maximum production output.

          The Spindles used on the Grinders are highly precision balanced units with two sets of Super Precision preloaded matched dual angular bearings that are balanced out at 6000 R.P.M. The use of Super Precision bearings allow for a smooth and uniformed grind because vibration is kept to a minimum. When the units start to wear out, they start to vibrate which will transfer to the grindstone causing a bad grind. Changing out the spindles at the first indication of increased vibration will save you production time and money.

          When you enter into the Program, ALMIK will keep on record all your models of grinders and their Spindle numbers. We will keep on hand an inventory available to manufacture a complete spindle and have it ready for you in 24 - 48 hours. In this way you will know that emergency spindles will be available for your machines and also you will be able to schedule proper maintenance times for your production grinders.

          Another way to control costs is to allow ALMIK to repair your old spindles. With the minimum cost of a new spindle to be no less than 2500.00 it would be cost efficient for you to have us evaluate your spindles and to give you a reworked price that in many cases will be hundreds of dollars cheaper than buying new. There is no cost to you on the evaluation and the rework would only be done if you approve the rework price. All parts will be shipped back to you if the rework price is not approved.

          As an added benefit for being a participant in this program you will also receive a 5% discount on all other parts purchased from ALMIK Manufacturing & Service except for Chuck Assembly parts.

          Call and talk with Al Bonikowski or Mike Devereaux for more details about this program. The phone number is 1-734-955-6771.
