Hey everyone,
I have two Waters machines that we purchased when we started our operation 6 years ago. They are in decent shape and are fully optioned out. They each have the automation module so you can run 24/7, sightglass, co solvent pump, as well as 1 extra pump (needs to be rebuilt).
The reason for selling these units is due to us just getting to large and them not being able to keep up with our brands demand. They will both come with our files to run whichever material you want so there is no R&D necessary. These units are perfect for a group wanting to get into CO2 extraction or someone who wants these units for parts. Regular maintenance is required on these machines but people that know them should have no problems keeping them running.
How much does that rig cost a month to run not very green friendly but what is everything is in good working order I’m interested for sure I need to make sure all the stuff is there to get up and going
Pistons were changed on one pump while @Open_mind_extracts was still with us. That’s essentially the rebuild that waters does. Like the post says, one pump is in complete need of a rebuild. The other two are in working order and run just fine. The cost of seals in noted for running of the machines.
Why not just rebuild the pump? it only takes like 30 mins, I am fairly certain waters has a tutorial video for the pump rebuild as well. Might make this piece of equipment more enticing for a potential buyer knowing the machine is in full working order.
Its an extra pump besides the two that are in working order on both machines. I originally bought an extra pump in case one went down the entire machine wouldn’t be on hold. From my understanding a full rebuild has to be sent to Waters. Wasn’t worth getting it rebuilt by waters as we were making our switch to hydrocarbons. I hope that paints a better picture for you and any prospective buyers.
