ELECTROPLATING INSTALLATIONS - WORTH TAKING A BROADER, LONGER TERM VIEW

摘要

Plasticraft, part of NHE and one of the UK's leading process plant manufacturers, believes that electroplating is a key element in this equation. However, it says, it is important that specifiers should look beyond equipment installation to ensure 'Through Life Costs' are as structured and economically efficient as possible. "While, of course, we are committed to ensuring initial capital expenditure is minimised, we also encourage customers to focus on forward looking expenditure issues," says Mike Priddle, Managing Director of NHE. "These range from day-to-day running, such as energy consumption and environmental compliance, to maintenance expenditure - all of which we include in our assessment of cost effective plant. With the latter, for example, the option to structure and plan service and maintenance procedures can contribute directly to the value of the overall investment."
