Why should manufacturers consider renting product inspection systems instead of purchasing them outright?

Renting our systems i.e. checkweighing, metal detection, x-ray and/or vision inspection, offers a flexible and cost-effective solution for manufacturers facing immediate product inspection needs. This can be due to increased demand, equipment breakdown or quality control requirements. With rental solutions from Mettler-Toledo, for example, manufacturers can scale up production without significant capital expenditure or test inspection technologies before making a purchase decision.

What types of businesses benefit most from renting inspection systems?

Our rental solutions are particularly beneficial for all sizes of food and pharmaceutical manufacturers, but we also see demand from other industries such as building supplies. Any business that needs to achieve the utmost in product safety and compliance while managing costs and operational flexibility can benefit from renting one of our product inspection systems.

One of the key advantages of rental systems is bridging delivery gaps. How does this work?

Due to the nature of how product inspection systems are made, there can be significant lead times for delivery and installation when manufacturers order new equipment. Rental systems provide an immediate solution to inspection needs while waiting for permanent equipment. This means that companies don't face costly downtime or disruptions in meeting customer demand.
