Why use original spare parts for your industrial machinery?

Original quality spare parts, equivalent or parallel?

Many owners of industrial engines buy parts of equivalent quality or pirated parts, mainly for economic reasons to benefit from a lower purchase price while resigning themselves to enjoying a lower quality.

Having a motor and having it work over time is a considerable cost. Between fuel, insurance, taxes, changing and replacing parts, it's true that industrial engine owners face a number of unavoidable expenses to keep their machinery in use. This is the reason why some look for alternatives that reduce the overall cost. However, each investment has a positive effect on the machine, its life span and its performance.

Over the last few years, manufacturers of industrial machinery have developed a multitude of new technologies and new parts, always with the aim of achieving the highest standards of quality, performance and comfort. In order to get the best out of each machine and ensure its longer life, it is essential to use these parts that have been designed, developed and optimized to achieve the aforementioned objectives.

Why are the non-original parts more affordable?

The main problem with non-original spare parts is in their massive creation process, which, by covering a huge production quantity, does not allow for such precision. If we add to this that the tests that these parts go through are much more flexible than the tests that original spare parts go through, we obtain a significant risk of losing product quality. It is important to know that a minimum error of millimeters in the creation of an element can affect the overall efficiency of the machinery and cause serious damage to its operation and performance.

The advantageous price of these NON-original parts are consequences of cheap manufacturing that leads, in most cases, to early wear of the parts and therefore to a hasty need for replacement. In fact, when we think that we are saving money with more affordable alternatives, we increase the probability of multiplying the need for substitution.

Guarantee

In addition to the different reasons mentioned above, it is important to note that spare parts of equivalent quality or pirated spare parts do not offer the same guarantees as an original spare part. All original parts are guaranteed by the manufacturer. However, this is not the case for non-original parts. Although some alternative parts offer warranties, most are not warranted by their manufacturer. Because? The reason is quite simple to understand, as they are lower quality parts, the risk of failure is greater. The manufacturer or the workshop that sells these non-original parts does not take the risk of guaranteeing a replacement with the risk of it breaking down shortly after purchase.

official maintenance service

Just as we commented on the importance of buying original parts, it is also essential to highlight that the maintenance of an industrial machine must be carried out in an OFFICIAL service. No one will take better care of your machine than those who conceived it and brought it to life. They know your machine better than anyone and know what it needs to deliver optimal performance.
