The advantages of buying used equipment from Perry Process
Equipment Ltd have recently been highlighted in an article by Engineer Live. We
always advise our customers of the many benefits and now they have been
reiterated by one of our customers. Read the main points from the article:
‘Since 1965, Lionel Hitchen Essential
Oils (LHEO) has grown and diversified into one of the UK's main manufacturers
of natural concentrated oils, steam distilled oils, alcoholic extracts,
flavours, oleoresins and dispersed herb and spice extracts.
Recently, the company purchased a second hand vessel from Perry Process Equipment Ltd, the pre-owned plant specialist. The 1200 litre stainless steel vacuum vessel with jacket is used in the citrus oil distillation process. According to their Engineering Manager, the decision to use a second hand solution was driven by two main considerations -- availability and cost.
In terms of availability it is a big advantage if you
can pick up something similar to what you need in a short period of time, he
explained. Generally speaking if we were going down the new plant route we
would need to draw up specifications and tender documents for vessel
manufacturers then invite tenders and so forth and would normally have a minimum
twenty week lead time.
Including seal modifications and production of a full
technical document suite, the used jacketed vacuum vessel provided by Perry was
available in six weeks -- two weeks before it was needed on site. "Overall
we spent around 50 per cent of the cost
of a new vessel with equivalent accessories,” noted the Engineering
Manager.
Over the years, LHEO has enjoyed good service from
Perry. “In the event of us undertaking any new projects we will definitely
consider second hand again,” he concluded.’
