5 hidden costs of the CP30 batching plant
Do you know what additional expenses you may encounter? If you think spending only $30,000 is a big mistake, here are some additional expenses you may encounter.
1. Installation and commissioning costs
If the manufacturer does not provide engineer installation and debugging services, then you will need to find local personnel to install and bear the installation costs and risks; But if the manufacturer provides free installation services, it can save a considerable amount of expenses.
2. Spare parts inventory cost
You should know that purchasing equipment requires purchasing additional spare parts, which can be replaced promptly to prevent equipment failure. Easy-to-damage spare parts include mixing blades, liners, sensors, etc. It is recommended to purchase them together with the equipment. Of course, if the selected concrete batch plant manufacturer can provide spare parts free of charge, it can also greatly reduce costs.
3. Training and manpower
Operators also need training, which incurs costs. Even for fully automated control systems, at least 1-2 operators and auxiliary workers are required. Therefore, it is best to choose manufacturers with after-sales service that can provide free manual training, which can also save costs.
4. International shipping and import tariffs
The fluctuation of ocean freight, combined with destination port tariffs and customs clearance fees, is a significant expense.
5. Foundation construction
The foundation requirements vary in different countries. Some places require pile driving, while others only require simple hardening of the ground. Therefore, choosing a concrete mixing plant without foundation can also save additional expenses.
