- How difficult will modifications be? You may be able to work with your manufacturer to find a system that works for you now and in the future. Technology advances quickly, which means that your conveyor system will have to keep up. Your manufacturer should be able to help you create a system that doesn’t need complete replacement every ten years or so.
- How difficult is installation? You should always ask how long the installation process is, and how much it will cost. Your manufacturer should be able to give you a free estimate so that you know the costs beforehand.
- How difficult is the maintenance process? Most powder conveying systems are low maintenance, but when something does break, you want to know what that process will be like. Ask questions like, how expensive is it to change this belt? How much will it cost me? And how easy is it to get replacement parts?
- Do you have references? You always want to make sure that your manufacturer has references so that you know that they are reliable. If your manufacturer refuses to provide references or help you get in contact with past clients, you may want to take that as a red flag.
