Case Study - Trez SA, France

Trez SA, Aiguebelle, France

Michael Walter

Trez SA in France purchased a used Comber model Pharmadry PH2000 vacuum paddle dryer from Perry Process Equipment. The unit, which was built in 1998, was in need of refurbishment.  Perry Process Equipment has developped strong working relationships with many Original Equipment Manufacturers and contacted Comber to carry out the refurbishment work.

A Comber spokesperson said “The advantage for the customer is to have the machine at a cheaper price and in shorter time compared to a new machine”.

The refurbishment started at the beginning of September 2012 and the machine was shipped to the customer at the beginning of December 2012.  The most important tasks carried out during the refurbishment of the machine were:

-       Complete dismounting of the machine, agitator group and dust filter

-       Dismounting of the existing riveted insulation

-       New welded insulation of vessel and dust filter

-       Control with penetrating liquids

-       Hydraulic tests

-       Overhaul of the discharge valve

-       Re-finishing of all internal surfaces

-       Sandblast and painting of the machine support basement

-       Complete remaking of the electric installation

-       External satinizing

Comber Process Technology Srl is part of the HEINKEL DRYING AND SEPARATION GROUP.  Please read more about them on their website.

7 Reasons to Buy Refurbished Process Equipment

1.    Save money- Purchasing your unit new can be costly, but when you purchase your unit refurbished you can save up to 70%. Perry Process sources quality equipment, from reputable chemical, pharmaceutical and other manufacturing industries, to be refurbished and reused. Therefore, you avoid the cost of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) manufacturing a new piece of equipment. Perry also sells complete plants and lines, which can save you even more money!

2.    Availability…shorter lead time- A new unit can take several months for an OEM to manufacture. However, Perry can refurbish most used units to as new condition in a couple of weeks. With 1000s of pieces of equipment in stock, at our many sites across Europe, you can source the piece you need. Many units are available for immediate shipping. If we do not have the exact piece you need, we will find it for you through our network of trusted connections with OEMs and dealers.

3.    Quality assured- When your unit is refurbished it goes through extensive inspection and testing processes. The entire unit is cleaned thoroughly to remove any contaminants and damaged components are replaced with genuine new parts. Full technical documentation is normally available, giving you peace of mind in your purchase. The unit is then tested to meet industry standards to ensure ‘as-new’ quality.

4.    Environmentally friendly- Did you know that it takes 90% less energy to refurbish versus producing new units? When units are refurbished we are conserving raw materials such as steel, hastalloy and tantalum. Reusing the equipment is an excellent way of saving the energy required to manufacture. When a unit is damaged beyond economical repair they can be safely handled through the metal recycling process.

5.    Wide range of Sales Options- We offer a range of sales options to meet your needs. From outright purchase and rental, to sale or return and trade-in. Rest assured you have the option to make sure the piece is right for you before committing to buy.

6.    Fit for purpose and built to last- The entire unit is cleaned and all worn or damaged components are replaced. Once finished, the unit is restored to deliver as good as new performance, so you get the best used unit for the lowest price. Older pieces of process equipment and industrial plants and lines have proven their endurance. It is rare that they are damaged beyond economical repair. Most offer robust process capability for years to come.

7.    Economic Benefits- Every company today is under pressure to achieve better ‘return on investment’. Please consider the cost benefits of using high quality used process equipment from a reputable supplier. You will save time and money utilizing proven equipment for your manufacturing.

Case Study - DuPont, UK

DuPont, Bristol, UK

Donald Branagan

Perry was appointed by DuPont to clear their Bristol site. We were given a six week window to sell the equipment and clear the site. Perry marketed the equipment and successfully sold most of the assets direct from the site to companies throughout Europe. We purchased the remaining plant and worked with our approved dismantling contractor to ensure the safe removal of all the items. The whole project was completed on time, within budget and fulfilled DuPont’s return on investment criteria. 

Donald Branagan, DuPont, UK statement:
“We had a very good experience working with Paul Cook and Perry as a company. The project was completed on time and within budget. As with most projects there were a few ‘issues’ that did arise during the execution but these were worked out and resolved satisfactorily. On another positive note the project was completed with no incidents or injuries.” Donald also mentioned that he will use Perry Process Equipment’s services for other future projects.
