What do people often forget to consider when buying mechanical conveying equipment?

摘要

People often forget to consider maintenance issues. Very often a corporate buyer or engineer purchases the equipment, and they seldom concern themselves with buying a system that's maintenance friendly. Many things can be designed into a conveyor that makes it easier and cheaper to maintain, but bottom dollar price is frequently the deciding factor.Often, the equipment's full lifecycle cost isn't carefully estimated or considered. A piece of conveying equipment's total cost should include estimated frequency of repair or maintenance, the equipment's life expectancy, unanticipated equipment failure downtime, and any adverse effects the conveying action may have on the material being conveyed.
