Buying used process equipment shouldn't involve any risk. Just because it's cheaper than new doesn't mean it shouldn't work. Would you buy a used car and not expect to drive it home? No. We wouldn't expect you to buy a used machine and not be able to use it.
Here's how we do it at Perry:
1. Reliability. We buy quality used equipment that works. We buy from major chemical and pharmaceutical companies. The equipment has been maintained and serviced and we know what it's been used for. Once it reaches our warehouse, our in-house engineers test it themselves and you can inspect it or arrange for a 3rd party to inspect it. If for whatever reason you can't, we will add a video on YouTube for you to see it running.
2. Cost. Generally savings of 50-60% against the cost of new and reduces depreciation numbers.
3. Delivery. If it's in stock and you don't need to make any modifications, then you can literally take it away.
4. Sale or Return. If you're not sure it will work for you, take the item on a sale or return basis. You use the machine in your production and make sure it can do what you need it to. If it doesn't then we'll take it back. This is definitely not something you can do with new!
5. We have an in-house engineering team so we can test and certify machines for you and we welcome you to inspect this.
The only time we can't help is if we haven't got the right machine for you in stock. But, we might just have an alternative! Keep checking our inventory on our website www.perryprocess.co.uk or we can generally find it for you using our comprehensive market intelligence.
We'd love to hear about your past experiences buying used equipment, good or bad, or why you've never bought used equipment. Please post your comments below.
