Hello,
We are based in the UK and currently trying to work out where to source our equipment. We have found a manufacturer in the UK we would be happy to use but coming out a little too expensive. So we are thinking of buying some of the vessels from them and some from a chinese manufacturer possibly to save a little bit of money. We are looking at buying the copper and mash tun in the UK then deciding which tanks we could possibly save some money on by buying from China.
I think the best quality bit of kit should probably be the copper and mash tun so happy to spend a bit more on that. But for the other vessels i.e. Conical FV's, Hot/Cold Liquor tanks and CIP which ones would anyone suggest I get from China and which ones are likely to be the most risky buying from China? i.e. what kit seems to be the most troublesome from Chinese Manufacturers.
So it would be great if anyone who has bought vessels from China could offer there opinion on what tanks/equipment are least complicated and which tanks are least likely to have problems with them when buying from China? Also if anyone can recommend a Chinese manufacturer they have used that would be great.
In a nutshell we are looking at buying a good kit but maybe making a bit of a saving on a few vessels at the same time if that is possible.
Any ideas? Thank you for your replies in advance.
