A common question we are often asked is-

“What do you do with your second-hand equipment / tanks that is different from purchasing direct from farm, the second-hand seller”

Just like our new milk cooling tank sales, Dairy-Tech Refrigeration’s philosophy of “built for the long haul” carries over to our second hand milk cooling tank sales.

The advantages of purchasing direct from farm when a tank comes up for sale may seem attractive because of the cheaper price, but there are many dangers in doing so. The costs of dis-connection including transport from the original farm and then the costs of re-installation. It may seem that the price ends there, but not necessary so.

Once re-installed depending on the brand of vessel and equipment purchased, the end user may find that additional costs are required for faulty items / parts on the original system. Also a major component, the wash system may be so out of date that spare parts are unable to be sourced even through trade. What started off as a cheap purchase can in some cases leave the new owner with a tank package that is out dated and unable to do the original job intended.
