Commercial and financial considerations
Fixed monthly fee
Paying a fixed monthly rate is the standard method available. We mutually predetermine your payment schedules to allow better predictability.
Capex deferral
Deferral plans let you make payments for items like capital equipment, capital tools, wear and spare parts and setup costs at a later date, rather than the date of purchase.
Cost per hour
Cost Per Hour payment plans take cost spikes out of the picture and allow you to be charged based on your operating time during a given month.
Extended warranty
With many of the LCS package options, extended warranties are available, covering the replacement of designated main components.
Metso PumpDim™
Metso PumpDim™ is a program for sizing and selecting Metso pumps. It can size a pump for a specified duty point or a pipe system, pumping clear water, viscous liquids or a suspension of solids in a liquid.
