Genuine Spare Parts and Compliance
Fitting genuine Russell Finex spare parts is the single most effective way to maintain the safety, reliability, and performance of your equipment. Genuine spares are designed and manufactured specifically for Russell Finex machines and are made to the original quality specification, so they fit correctly and perform as the machine was engineered to perform. All genuine spares carry a 12-month guarantee against manufacturing or material defects, excluding consumable wear parts.
There is also a compliance dimension that matters in hazardous-area applications. Substituting non-genuine or alternative components can invalidate a machine’s ATEX certification — a serious risk where combustible dust or flammable atmospheres are present. Using genuine parts keeps that certification intact and removes the uncertainty that comes with unapproved components.
Through APS, New Zealand customers can source genuine spares without dealing with overseas ordering directly. We identify the correct parts for your specific machine and configuration and arrange supply through Russell Finex.

Mesh Frame Remeshing and Spares Restocking
Mesh frames wear over time, and an unexpected mesh failure can bring a production line to a halt. Because that downtime is costly, the practical recommendation is to hold spare mesh frames on site, ready for immediate replacement, while worn or damaged frames are sent away to be remeshed and returned.
Russell Finex offers a quick, cost-effective remeshing service and can supply complete new mesh frames where additional spares are needed. APS can arrange remeshing of your existing frames and quote on replacement frames, helping you build a sensible on-site stock so that a mesh change is a planned, minutes-long task rather than an emergency.

Servicing and Maintenance
Regular, scheduled servicing minimises unplanned downtime, controls maintenance costs, and keeps production running predictably. Russell Finex service contracts are tailored to the equipment in use and to the demands of the application.
Russell Finex through APS also offer on-site visits. These visits are a valuable opportunity to have equipment inspected and to identify wear or developing issues before they cause a failure. APS can help you take advantage of these visits and can advise on the most appropriate servicing arrangement for your operation.
Machine Refurbishment
Russell Finex equipment is built to last, but years of continuous duty inevitably take their toll on performance. Rather than replace a machine outright, refurbishment might be an option, For New Zealand operators, APS can help you assess whether an existing machine is a suitable candidate and arrange a refurbishment quote.
