Bel-Air Turf Products remanufactures triplex greens mowers and
sand rakes. Our process provides you with "new machine" quality and warranties at a savings of 30-40% over the cost of purchasing new equipment.
Our process starts with a "core unit" that has been provided to us as part of
a trade-in or exchange program. The core is completely disassembled down to the bare frame. Broken and worn-out components are discarded. The valve bank is sent to our hydraulic shop for remanufacturing, while the frame is sandblasted to remove all old paint and rust. The unit then moves on to the welding shop.
The Welding
Shop - better than new!
Initial inspection tells us if the frame is satisfactory to begin remanufacturing. If so, all existing welds are inspected and proper alignment is verified. The frame is then reinforced in areas of inherent weakness. If required, older frames are then modified to accept new 16 or
18 hp Vanguard engines. Every frame that goes through this process is improved, updated and strengthened. We warrant each frame for three years against breakage!
The
Hydraulic Shop
In the hydraulic shop, the valve bank is completely disassembled, cleaned and inspected. We then install top-quality Viton(R) O-rings and Teflon backups. All of the relief settings are verified and all seals are replaced. After assembly, all valve bodies are dynamically checked for proper function before being sent on for installation.
We also offer our remanufactured valve banks for resale on an exchange basis, in addition to testing reel motors and main pumps to be sold as "good used" components.
Subassembly
In our subassembly area, all new bushings are installed into the main
frame and lifting components. We use self-lubricating oil-impregnated bronze bushings to reduce future maintenance requirements. The frame is then primed and painted with a high quality acrylic enamel, before moving on to final assembly.

Quality Control and Testing,
and Shipping
Every greensmower and sand rake we build is tested against a 50-point checklist so that we are certain every unit functions as it should, and any problems are found before you get your machine.
Our shipping department has designed a pallet that allows us to ship the mower to you fully assembled. when you receive your shipment, just remove the packaging and drive your new remanufactured machine off the pallet. Each machine is shipped with a pre-operational checklist for you to perform, which takes approximately two hours to prepare your machine for service.
