We can offer our machinery in three conditions: ‘refurbished’, ‘good running’ and ‘as is’. ‘Refurbished’ refers to a complete revision of a used machine to give it a second life. Our standard procedure when completely refurbishing a used machine is:
- Strip down to the frame: blasting and spraying of steel components
- All component wear: replacement of bearings, bushes and gaskets
- Replacement of damaged or worn components
- New cabling and control systems (latest updates)
- 6 month warranty
- Guaranteed spare parts supply for 5 years
- Optional: supervision of commissioning and operator training
- Optional: CE marking
- Optional: custom modifications
Buying a ‘good running’ machine is a cheaper solution. In this condition, we do not completely overhaul the machine, but do the necessary works to get the machine in working condition. The machine is tested in our workshop and components are only replaced if necessary. This price is always subject to conditions, as on occasion it becomes evident during the tests that there is an expensive fault. If this is the case, the buyer receives a quotation for the additional costs and is also given the option to cancel the purchase.
Machines are almost always sold ex-factory and can be deployed in the same condition in which we bought them: ‘as is’. However, the machine has not been inspected by us and there is no guarantee of its current condition. We always recommend that a machine is inspected prior to purchase and only to buy ‘as is’ if you have a thorough knowledge of machines. We can always tell you whether we purchased the machine in operating condition or whether it had already been decommissioned. Documentation is not always included and can only be supplied if it was present at the time of purchase.
