Recycling Equipment Suppliers
Recycling equipment: supplier selection checklist
A useful proposal starts with a consistent brief. Prepare the following details for each shortlisted supplier so you can compare scope, performance and support on the same basis.
01
Feedstock
Describe material mix, size, moisture, contamination and variability. Arrange a representative sample trial where practical.
02
Recovery target
Define output fractions, purity, recovery rate and acceptable losses. Ask how performance changes as the incoming mix changes.
03
Line design
Confirm preprocessing, separation stages, conveying, dust capture and the handling of rejected material.
04
Service & wear
Compare blade, screen and belt replacement, access for cleaning, downtime and the local supply of service parts.
Build a focused shortlist
Start with the required process or equipment, then narrow by application and documented company locations. Save up to four suppliers and compare their profiles. An office location is a starting point: confirm who will deliver, install and support the work at your project site.
Ask for a proposal you can compare
Give every company the same drawings, operating conditions, quantities and schedule. Ask suppliers to identify assumptions and exclusions, separate one-time and recurring costs, and explain what evidence will demonstrate acceptance. Record unanswered questions before comparing prices.
Keep a decision record
Document the manufacturing site, responsible contacts, scope, milestones, acceptance criteria and ongoing support. Request current documentation for your project requirements directly from the supplier. Revisit the brief when design or operating conditions change.
