After a thorough assessment of the sports equipment, the first practical task in professional ski servicing is the base repair. This step is crucial for the longevity and performance of skis and snowboards, as it removes damage to the base and prepares a smooth, structured surface for subsequent sanding. MONTANA offers various specialized machines for this purpose, which enable optimal repair depending on workshop size and requirements.
Why is base repair so important?
The base of a ski or snowboard is in direct contact with the snow and plays an essential role in speed and control. Even minor damage can impair gliding ability. By using a MONTANA repair machine, the base is melted and positively repaired so that subsequent work steps - such as stone grinding - are optimally effective. By the way: it is not necessary to use a blade for any of these processes!
Manual base repair for minor damage
A spot repair is often sufficient for small scratches and dents. The MONTY EXTRUDER, the handy repair tool from MONTANA, is ideal for this. With a nozzle width of 40 mm, the surface can be coated on one side. A wide preheating shoe ensures ideal adhesion of the repair material, which is automatically fed in - simply and efficiently.
Ideal for small workshops: The MONTY EXTRUDER allows minor damage to be repaired quickly and professionally.
