Remanufactured Curemeters by CCSi |
 |
CCSi remanufactures many of the most popular rheological instruments. |
| The curemeter (rheometer and viscometer) is a quality instrument that can provide reliable test data providing it is properly and routinely maintained. |
| Considering the extensive use and the average age of most curemeters in the field, many have reached a point where normal maintenance may no longer support reliability, accuracy, and repeatability of the instruments. |
 |
Maintenance costs may be approaching the expense of totally rebuilding the instrument. CCSi offers a detailed and comprehensive rebuilding program. |
| This is not a reconditioning of the instrument, but a total rebuilding, inclusive of many upgrades that bring the instrument's capability in line with its newer counterparts, at a fraction of the cost. |
| The instruments are offered on an exchange basis and are quoted individually. A purchase plan can be tailored to suit budgetary considerations including, short and long term lease and lease—purchase options. |
 |
Rebuilt rheometer models TM—100, R—100, R—100S and viscometer models M—1500, M—1300, M—1200, STI—90, are in stock and ready for immediate delivery! |
| The value of your trade—in, if any, will substantially affect the end cost of a rebuilt instrument. |
| Some curemeters employ an existing integral data recorder (included in a rebuilt instrument). Others employ an external data recorder (not included with a rebuilt instrument). The new RheoGraFX Model 1000 Chart Recorder is also available. |
