Spheronization Machine Hire

1
Machine Hire/Rental of equipment for Extrusion
and Spheronization
2

• Under certain circumstances, and with some
  restrictions, it is possible that Caleva will
  rent equipment for Extrusion and Spheronization
  as well as offering hire of the Mini Coater Drier
  and the Mixer Torque Rheometer. This will allow
  potential users to complete projects or
  investigate if projects are viable or to
  manufacture clinical trial samples.
• In all cases the terms, conditions and costs
  will be individually determined. The outlines
  given below are for guidance only. All rental
  projects will need to be discussed depending on
  the equipment required, when it is required for
  and the nature of the project.
• Caleva will try to be helpful and flexible but
  it may not be possible for all requests for
  rental equipment or machine hire to be met.
• The equipment offered with be either used or
  manufactured from new. This will depend on what
  is available within Caleva and on the specific
  needs of the customer.
• Example one (Rental)
• A guide to typical terms and conditions are
  given below as an example for a Variable Density
  Extruder and a Multi-Bowl Spheronizer 250-
• The length of the rental period is normally a
  minimum of three months

• Cost of rental for the Variable Density Extruder
  would be 3,800 per month. Extrusion dies and
  screens are considered consumable. These would be
  extra and would have to be purchased by the user.
• The cost of rental for the MBS 250 spheronizer
  would be 3,060 per month.
• At the end of the rental period we would require
  a list of any active material used in the
  equipment and the equipment would have to be
  clean and a cleaning certificate provided based
  on an industry accepted method.
• Delivery and packing costs would be extra (at
  actual cost).
• A returnable deposit would be required
  equivalent to one months rent. Capital and
  deposit interest on this amount would be returned
  to you at the end of the rental period.
• If, at the end of the rental period, you wanted
  to purchase the equipment then 50 of the rental
  amount would be offered as a credit towards the
  purchase of the same equipment or equivalent
  production equipment.

• Example two (Lease)
• If the user is sure that at the end of hire
  period that the equipment would be required for
  future use then a better option might be to lease
  rather than hire the equipment.
• In this case the full purchase price (plus a
  small premium and a deposit) would be divided
  into up to 12 equal instalments. During the lease
  period the equipment would remain the property of
  Caleva Process Solutions. The end of the lease
  period it would be possible for the customer to
  buy the equipment outright for a nominal amount
  (generally 100).
• This way of acquiring equipment might be
  particularly useful for contract development
  laboratories who can organise their costs and
  expenses differently according to if they own or
  rent the equipment that the use.

• If there is anything that you need to discuss or
  if anything is not clear please let me know or if
  you wish to consider leasing or renting equipment
  then please contact us..
