Save Time and Money whilst Reducing Your Carbon Footprint

Many companies believe that being environmentally friendly comes with added costs to the business. By purchasing quality used equipment for your processes, you can save time and money, as the equipment is immediately available and is typically 70% cheaper than purchasing new. It is a great way to save money whilst reducing the use of raw materials and your carbon footprint.

The process industry is traditionally a very energy and resource intensive industrial sector. Energy and resource efficiency, modern technologies and responsible sourcing play a key role in reducing each manufacturers impact on the environment.

When thinking about shrinking their environmental footprints, many manufacturing companies don’t consider used process equipment when plant is required. They know that due to global warming, they must all consider how to reduce the environmental impact of processes and products. Consumers are also increasingly demanding “greener” products and care about their environmental impact.

Perry Process is contributing towards environmental sustainability:

Perry Process Equipment Ltd can optimize your use of raw materials by buying and selling second-hand process equipment throughout the manufacturing sector. We have been a dealer of used process machinery since 1932, but more recently it has become apparent that due to the environmental impact of the manufacturing industry and the efficient management of raw materials, manufacturing companies are looking to change aspects of their process to help strengthen their commitment to sustainability.

As global awareness increases, the need to reduce and measure resource usage becomes more important. Perry Process can refurbish equipment in-house and we also work with OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and Engineering companies to improve used equipment so that is more energy efficient and meets environmental standards.

The removal and logistics of used equipment has also been something that Perry has been consciously looking to improve on, transporting items as efficiently as possible to help reduce their transport emissions. We achieve this by stocking equipment globally in our many warehouse facilities, storing 1000s of pieces of process equipment so that our customers can source equipment from the nearest site.

When short-term survival is the top priority, it can be onerous for businesses to research all the drivers, themes, funding schemes, opportunities and threats that sustainability encompasses. Used process equipment will not only save your company time and money, typically 70% cheaper than new, it will also contribute to reducing your carbon footprint.

Saving energy with lighting:

Recently, Perry Process Equipment looked at ways we could help save energy at our UK premises and as a result we have upgraded our warehouse lighting, replacing the 400W sodium lamps with 32 LED lamps. This change is going to save us 75% on electricity and reduce our carbon footprint by over 8 tonnes per year.

Read All About: Mixers

What is a Mixer?

There are many different types of industrial mixers, which are also referred to as Blenders, Agitators or Turbulizers. They are frequently found in food factories, chemical and pharmaceutical laboratories and in full scale process facilities. Most industrial mixers bear little resemblance to regular home mixers as industrial models can typically weigh several tonnes and have complex automation systems.

Many industrial processes involve mixing or blending materials. The raw materials blended also take many forms from wet to dry, low viscosity liquids to high viscosity powders, pastes and inks. It may be appropriate to use a double arm mixer for applications like dough mixing where a kneading type of action is required. Where the application requires a gentle mixing action, a double cone blender may be ideal, ensuring a homogeneous air-free mix. These industrial Mixers can be useful for the production of foods, adhesives, and pharmaceutical products, among others.

Another good example of the industrial application of mixers is the ribbon blender used for the mixing of small particle sized ingredients. It is also important that all of the ingredients are mixed evenly. The mixer has a central shaft with mixing blades angled in various orientations that look like double-helix ribbons, and gives the blender the ability to move parts of the mixture in different directions at the same time. This ensures that all ingredients are effectively and completely blended.

Ribbon blenders are mainly used in food and pharmaceutical manufacturing applications in large batch sizes. They can have a horizontal construction, where the shaft and blade are horizontal in the container, or the shaft and blade can be in a vertical position.

Some mixers may have additional features such as multiple chambers and chutes to handle different kinds of loads, and users can configure the mixers specific applications using a wide range of automation and controls.

Global Presence, Local Support: Mitigating the risks of buying used equipment

Chemical and Pharmaceutical manufacturers often justify the purchase of used equipment for their operations on the basis of lower prices and faster delivery. These reasons are not a secret. Used process equipment can usually be purchased at prices that are up to 70% cheaper than new equipment. The equipment is typically available immediately, cutting lead-time for delivery by months. Even with this simple value proposition, saving time and money with used equipment, many manufacturers have never considered used equipment.

Perhaps you are worried about the risks of buying used production equipment. Risks could be:

• Regulatory
• Validation
• Project
• Supply
• Performance

Talk to Perry Process Equipment to put your mind at rest. We have been supplying high quality used process equipment for 80 years and can substantially mitigate or eliminate your concerns.

Call one of our Sales Managers on 01325 315111 or email us: info@perryprocess.co.uk

You can further reduce the risks by working with reputable equipment dealers that only source equipment from other reputable pharmaceutical and chemical companies and develop strong relationships with original equipment manufacturers. A dealer with strong relationships within the manufacturing industry as well as with the OEMs means that a buyer is truly getting high-quality equipment that will impress customers. Leveraging the inventory available at a used equipment dealer can enable one’s new business development team to reliably source additional equipment required to win new projects. The equipment dealer should also be able to provide affordable back-up equipment fast or equipment for increased capacity when a customer demands additional supply. Most of the “risk” associated with the purchase of used equipment is easily managed by the in-house expertise possessed by manufacturers and contract manufacturing organisations (CMO), allowing firms to take advantage of the simple value proposition provided by used manufacturing equipment: saving time and money.

For over 80 years, Perry Group of Companies has been a trusted name in the pharmaceutical, chemical, food, plastics, paper, sugar, rubber, fishmeal and mining industries. With thousands of pieces of inventory in stock, Perry is dedicated to providing customers with quality used equipment, available immediately at competitive prices.
