Our Timesavers Hammerhead efficiently removes dross from parts, delivering an ideal surface finish for downstream processes like weld preparation and paint adhesion. Designed to remove slag, the Hammerhead utilizes high durometer drums equipped with replaceable flexible pins to eliminate dross. This process replaces the hand-labor of scraping, grinding or hammering the dross off manually. #Timesavers #InCompass #TimesaversMetal #Deburring #MetalFinishing #Finishing #WetMetalFinishing #Finishing #Metal #AutomationSolutions #MetalWorking #Steel #Aluminum #LaserOxideRemoval #MetalFabrication #FlatMetalFinishing #Manufacturing #Technology #Quality #Durability #Safety #Productivity #Efficiency

125,000 manufacturers are owned by baby boomers, accounting for 2.6 million workers, according to research by Project Equity. At the same time, IndustryWeek says that 40% of manufacturers have not instituted a succession planning process. As many manufacturing and distribution leaders face retirement, a robust transition strategy is more important than ever. Here’s how you can prepare: >> Financial Health Check: Regularly review and optimize your financial statements. >> Streamline Operations: Efficient, scalable logistics and supply chain processes make for an easy transition to new owners. >> Build a Strong Team: Develop a capable management team that can operate independently, driving performance as you begin to step away. >> Document Everything: Maintain detailed records of processes, contracts, and inventory management systems. >> Market Positioning: Clearly define your market niche and competitive advantages. #Distribution #BusinessOwners #Entrepreneurs #Manufacturing #Data https://hubs.la/Q02J4MTp0
