T


he purchasing, selling and leasing of high quality used process equipment can range from individual items of equipment to complete process lines and plants. 3Di’s focus is on the global process industry with regular involvement

companies as well as large corporations. The benefits of purchasing used equipment from 3Di include:


n Money: Purchasing used process equipment and plants can save a great deal in comparison to buying new equipment which means companies can free up capital for other projects. 3Di has a reputation for supplying high quality process equipment at affordable prices.


n Time: As well as saving money purchasing used process equipment, companies find that time is also saved. A typical new item of equipment can take up to 12 weeks to be manufactured and shipped to a facility whereas an item of used equipment can be delivered in a matter of days. This time frame is very important when companies have breakdowns of machines. If a major item of equipment goes down and they have an order to meet, then purchasing a used machine can reduce the effect s of a shutdown.
