The
Topmaster Offers Exceptional Cost Savings For Several
Reasons
|
- First:
It only takes one person to operate the machine. The
typical production T-molding operation will employ between
4 and 5 people. With the Topmaster, only one person
is needed.
- Second:
Material handling is greatly reduced. Again, most operations
will employ a specific machine to do a specific function,
thus, three stations do the three operations of shaping,
grooving and T-molding. With the topmaster, all operations
are performed at one station and materials handling
is reduced to a minimum.
- Third:
Production capacity is increased. In a typical T-molding
operation, a crew of 4 will average between 15 and 20
complete panels per hour. With the Topmaster, production
rates of 30 to 60 pieces per hour with one employee
are averaged. Some owners report producing as many as
500 pieces in an eight-hour shift.
- Fourth:
The need for quality control is greatly reduced. Because
the machine utilizes a template, the two cutting arms
don't have the opportunity to cut deeper than than they
are supposed to. Also, the T-molding is rolled in under
pressure rather than pounded in with the use of an impact
tool. This leaves the finished part with a smooth and
flat edge without waves or distortion.
Some of the best known furniture manufactures
in the United States have purchased Topmasters. They
include Steelcase, Hone, Westinghouse, American Seating
and Globe Business Furniture. The Topmaster has been
on the market since the 1950's, and in its current configuration
since 1994. It is a durable, reliable and well-built
piece of machinery that will perform to your complete
satisfaction when kept properly maintained. If you are
looking for high production T-molding equipment, then
the Topmaster is the right machine for you.
Maintenance
Is Simplified
Less
than 1/2 hour every 500 hours will keep the Topmaster
well maintained. There are just 25 grease fitting and
two oil reservoirs to be topped off.
Installation
The Topmaster is completely assembled and ready for
operation. Once the machine is positioned and leveled,
grouting is required to secure the machine in place.
Air, electrical and vacuum service must be run to the
site. The initial setup and training are provided by
a factory-trained technician.
Training
Operation and mechanical maintenance instructions are
privided by the KRP technician at the time of installation.
One
Year Limited Warranty
KRP Manufacturing, Inc. warrants that all Topmaster
machinery sold shall be free from defects in electrical
components, materials and workmanship for a period of
one year from the date of delivery. Components covered
by the manufacturer's warranty will be replaced or repaired
according to the manufacturer's policy.
