Packaging & Shipping
Each Perkins generator is inspected carefully before shipment, including serial number and appearance verification. It is then packed in reinforced, steel-framed wooden crates with moisture-proof and orientation labels. Key components such as ECM modules and Perkins 4000 series injectors are packed separately in shock-proof containers and include export certificates.
We cooperate with leading international freight forwarders, supporting CIF, FOB, and DDP trade terms. Customers in Africa and Southeast Asia usually choose LCL or FCL sea shipment, with a typical delivery cycle of 18–25 days.



Why White Smoke Appears in Diesel Generators?
1. Engine Temperature Too Low: In cold weather or right after startup, the combustion chamber and cylinder walls are too cold for proper fuel-air mixing. Unburned diesel exits with the exhaust as white smoke. This will disappear once the engine warms up.
2. Injector Problems: Faulty or misadjusted injectors can spray too much fuel, leading to incomplete combustion and white smoke. Replace or service the Perkins 4000 series injector to restore performance.
3. Fuel Injection Pump Fault: A damaged fuel pump can cause delayed injection and low fuel pressure, producing white smoke and lowering engine power.
4. Late Injection Timing: Incorrect fuel timing prevents proper combustion, causing unburned fuel and visible smoke.
5. Fuel System Issues: Poor-quality fuel or water contamination can also produce white smoke. Regularly maintain your Perkins engine parts and filters.
6. Coolant Leakage: When coolant leaks into the combustion chamber, it mixes with the fuel and produces dense white smoke during operation.
