For Godet Temperature Transmitters, It's All About Precision And Reliability

From Binsfeld Engineering Inc.
Extruded Fibers Inc., Dalton, Georgia has built a reputation for producing high-quality yarn for its customers, who include the major carpet manufacturers. The company is owned by Bob McEntire, who built other fiber producing facilities including the Fiber One plant that is now Mohawk Carpet's McFarland plant. The company uses Italian-made machinery to produce a mix of nylon and polypropylene fiber for the carpet industry. 'In general, we have been satisfied with our Italian machines. They were a good value and have performed well for the products we run on them,” said Mike Legg, maintenance manager at Extruded Fibers. 'If you understand their strengths and weaknesses, you can use a systematic approach to maintenance and keep things running pretty well.” While Mr. Legg admits some frustration in getting spare parts from overseas, he recognizes it as a necessary evil and one that is manageable. Allowing plenty of time for delivery is vital, and that means staying ahead of predictive maintenance. Products & Services
