Staffed by experienced people who know how to get you what you need quickly, PDC Direct is designed to satisfy everything you and your staff need to obtain the parts you require . . . quickly and easily.

Preventive Maintenance

PDC technicians are available for field inspections to insure machinery is running at its best. We can make recommendations and provide guidance regarding preventive maintenance, and perform those tasks as required.

Training

PDC provides customized training in the format that best meets the needs of your facility and staff. Typically, most of the training consists of hands-on demonstrations and coaching your staff right at the machinery, optimizing skill retention. We also offer more structured classroom-style training with handouts and teaching aids to complement the hands-on training.

All PDC technicians are PMMI Certified trainers. Effective training techniques are used to insure that the concepts and information are conveyed clearly and are retained by your personnel. Training aids, specific to your model and application, provide concise reminders of how a given process should be performed and reinforce the learning process.

PDC Refurbishing Services

Since PDC machines are the most rugged machines on the market they often are retooled for new applications after many years of service. PDC offers refurbishing services, both in the field and at our plant. Since PDC machinery has so few moving parts, often just updating a few replacement parts and reworking the blade assembly will insure many more years of high performance and uninterrupted productivity – all extremely cost-effectively.
