Storage & logistics

Storing remanufactured turbos for the OM646 requires controlled conditions to preserve their condition and performance. Keep units in a dry, temperature-stable environment away from direct sunlight and contaminants. For bulk orders, use sealed containers with desiccant packs to prevent moisture damage. Warehouses should implement a first-in, first-out rotation system to ensure turbos are used within their optimal shelf life, typically 12 to 24 months from remanufacturing. Always inspect packaging for damage before accepting deliveries to avoid costly returns.
