How Many Man Hours can You Allocate to Fixing Used Equipment?

If the machine you are looking for needs to be in production quickly and for the least amount of expense I would like for you to consider the following:

Machines sold on the internet are sold as is. All of the work to get the machine running properly and customized to your product specifications will be on you.

Machines sold by used equipment dealers are also sold as is. They may have 25 to 50 man hours in cosmetics invested still leaving you to get the machine(s) running properly and customized for your product.

Machines sold by the original manufactures are built to your specifications but come with long lead times and large investments.

Machines sold by Frain have all had an average of 258 man hours inspecting and testing the machine so they are ready to go into production with just the customization required for your product.

That means that you are in production sooner and at less cost than any other option.

CPG Cashflow Tip: Renting Your Packaging and Processing Machinery Can Help You Win

This is the story of two CFOs, Joe and Bob. Both had great new products requiring a new packaging line and a capital request of 300,000 dollars. Bob commited his funds to new equipment right away, but Joe’s last project failed and the new equipment purchased was now sitting idle. So, Joe decided to go a different route and called Frain.

Frain knows that cashflow is king and that most of our customers want to keep their options open before they commit to a machinery purchase. From the time you place your order for a brand new machine, it can be anywhere from 2-12 months before the equipment is working in your facility. And it still takes 2-3 months after that to really know if your product will last on the market.

Joe found out that Frain’s pay as you go program gives you lots of options. As the market evolves, he can return the equipment, lease the equipment, buy different equipment, convert equipment to purchase, or return the equipment with no penalty.

Bob found out that his money didn’t go as far as planned.

To put it simply, Frain’s industry-leading pay as you go program gives you the best shot at being a winner in your marketplace.
