Costs >O & M Cost Savings > Vol. 3 Lifetime Maintenance Cost
| Why should you buy Bestobell traps? Why shouldn't you buy a less expensive conventional technology trap? Because that less expensive steam trap actually costs more in the long run ... a lot more! That inexpensive trap will cost between 3 and 4 times more than the initial purchase price in the first four years of it's life. Four factors combine to affect the Total Lifetime Maintenance cost of Steam Traps: 1. Failure Frequency 2. Repair Time 3. Labor Cost (This is a constant, non differentiating factor) 4. Material Cost of Repair Parts As you will see in the following analysis, the two most influential are Failure Frequency and Repair time (Cost) |
| What are the characteristics of the world's longest lasting steam trap? . . . The best materials, smart design, and mechanical simplicity. |
|
| Smart design means designing a product for its entire lifetime, including inevitable repair. Bestobell Delta Traps provide: 1. Bolts that you can field cut when environmental corrosion ultimately takes it's toll. 2. Flexitallic and Grafoil gaskets that don't stick when you remove the flange 3. A flanged cap that gives you 180° wrench access to the only part that ever needs to be replaced. What does this mean to you? It means the Lowest Lifetime Maintenance Costs in the Industry! |
