Qualified personnel
We recommend to have repairs of the barrel press made by trained HSM
personnel. We assume no liability for damage caused by incorrect
repair.
Operational safety
Unauthorized modifications of components or changes of the set
electrical and hydraulic values are not allowed and can cause severe
damage to the barrel press.
HSM barrel presses have a high life expectancy. However, the time when a revision
or repair is no longer economical comes for every machine. Then the operator must
ask how he can properly dispose of the barrel press?
