Spare Extractor Becomes Part of Energy Saving Solution

Lesjofors

Machine/Equipment

• Donaldson Torit DFT 3-24 Dust Collector

Details

Coming from the trusted, international manufacturer Doncasters, this 24-filter dust collector was decommissioned and disconnected after the plant it originally served was phased out

With no other use for it the Doncasters Group, a long-time customer with Rileys approached us to sell the machine to free up floor space.
After accepting our cash offer, our logistics team arranged decommissioning and transported it to our warehouse. Our team of experienced engineers checked over the dust collector and gave it a full bill of health ready for sale

Where is it Now?

Following a visit to our 5,000m³ warehouse to view the extractor, it was sold to springs manufacturer Lesjofors Heavy Springs for their UK premises.
Lesjofors contacted Rileys with a specification which we were unable to satisfy from stock at the time. Although Rileys carry a wide range of stock from time to time we are unable to help a customer straight away.
However, our dedicated buying team were able to source and identify this extractor knowing a customer was looking for this specification. As a bonus, this extractor had a higher filtration performance for lower energy use than the Lesjofors were seeking.
Our sales advisor further assisted Lesjofors by recommending a filter supplier for filter cartridges and spares

Summary
Reflecting on the current energy prices, there has been significant interest in our used catalogue of machinery to make energy savings, this extractor being no exception. Many manufacturers are deciding to swap machinery to match their process duty rather than make do with over or undersized plants. The affordable prices of our used machinery make this financially worthwhile for many manufacturers.
This success additionally highlights the resourcefulness of our buying team with the variety of machinery we can source for our customers.

“It was great to meet you all too. Thank you for taking the time to see me, and for sending all of the emails/quotes etc.
We got there in the end, thank you and Rileys for all the help getting to this point”
