Using Generic Parts is a Risk

While the price of generic parts might seem compelling, they do not have all necessary specifications as parts made by the OEM. As generic parts do run the risk of causing equipment failure and damage from poor quality parts, Antunes experts suggests only using Antunes made parts on Antunes equipment.

Parts Town provided their additional expertise on the potential risks of not choosing OEM parts:

• Equipment operators safety concerns
• Limits performance
• Damages equipment
• Creates a strain on surrounding parts from overworking
• Increased spending on replacement equipment from equipment damage
• Added downtime from equipment failure
• Potential lack of menu consistency from equipment issues could harm to your business’s brand
• Impacts food, beverages and ice
• Could void warranty for equipment and key components

Protect the Antunes cooking equipment, water treatment systems and automation solutions that your restaurant depends on by only using Antunes made parts.
