Warranty Formech FM660
Reliability and a long service life are synonymous with the Formech brand. However, as with any
machinery, certain parts will require periodic replacement and regular maintenance and care will
prolong machinery life.
Clamp Seals
The silicon seals applied to the mould table and to the top aperture of the machine (clamp) are seen as
being consumable parts, their service life will depend on how the machine is treated and how often it is
used.
The table and clamp seals are not covered by our warranty.
Heating elements
The infrared heating elements supplied with this machine are manufactured from a ceramic material
and are very brittle. A shock to the machine may break an element.
The heating elements contain a length of resistance wire internally, which becomes extremely hot when
electricity is applied. The wire expands and contracts as it heats and cools.
Eventually, due to the continual expansion and contraction, the wire will fracture and a new element will
be needed. This may take a decade or more. Alternatively it could happen as a result of an impact or
shock. Because of this we are unable to apply our standard warranty to ceramic heating elements.
The heating elements are not covered by our warranty.
Vacuum system
The vacuum system on this machine is fairly simple but uses high quality components throughout. The
life expectancy of the vacuum system will be compromised by the ingress of dirt, shavings, dust, liquid
etc.
THE VACUUM CIRCUIT INCLUDING THE VACUUM PUMP WILL NOT BE COVERED BY OUR
WARRANTY IF THEY ARE FOUND TO BE BLOCKED WITH FOREIGN MATTER OR CORRODED
BY THE INGRESS OF LIQUID.
