Reimers Kaufman Completes Equipment Upgrade
Reimers Kaufman has replaced it’s 1995 Columbia Block machine with a new Tiger TG5 Concrete Products machine. The 26 year old Columbia machine was becoming difficult and costly to maintain with many electrical parts becoming discontinued.
The Tiger TG5, manufactured in Japan, brings many benefits to RK, including a safer and cleaner work environment for employees. The new equipment also offers an automated mold change system allowing operators to safely change a mold in 15 minutes as opposed to 60 minutes on the previous machine. The new Tiger TG5 also has the ability to manufacture a wide range of products, both Masonry and Landscape, ranging in heights from ¾ of an inch to 8 ½ inches.
The machine was installed at the end of August and will allow RK to provide quality products, with an expanded product line moving into the future.
