Beyond the Purchase Price
Wellingborough, November 10, 2008:
In times when hardly a news bulletin is made without some reference to a ‘global credit crisis’ it makes sense to take control of the “purse strings” and manage the budget. With many comparison.com web sites we can easily select the lowest price for pretty much any product, but, is price the only factor?
For Northampton based Anitox, price of course is important, but as a global company with products installed around the world, there are other factors to consider. As a manufacturer of antimicrobial preservatives for animal feeds and other food stuffs for human consumption, it is essential that the products they source are of high quality and have the technical pedigree to withstand the demands placed on them.
One of the strengths of Anitox, is they not only supply chemicals to the Animal feed industry but, also a patented application process to ensure correct functionality every time. Often used in remote areas, functionality and reliability are of the utmost importance.
In a recent project, Krohne Limited was chosen to supply one of their ranges of Batchflux meters. Richard York, Chief Engineer Anitox said, “we have these particular anti-bacterial dosing systems for animal feed stuffs installed at our Customer’s plants around the world. The plants run 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, so it is imperative that the components we use within our systems are reliable and provide faultless performance and repeatability. We selected the Batchflux 5015C, as it has a high-tech ceramic liner which guarantees extreme long-term stability. The device is also renowned for reliability and accuracy and built using solid state devices, meaning there are no moving parts! The initial purchase price was slightly more, but when you consider the downtime, service and replacement parts, this is proving to be a much better solution and much more cost effective when calculating the life time costs!”
