The Try Before You Buy Sonic Solution

In  our last post The ABC Of Sonic Horn Cleaning we quoted A = Alternative. What we wrote was based upon detailed dialogue with customers who, when they first contacted us, had no prior experience of sonic horn technology. They had previously, often for many years, employed a different and less efficient type of cleaning system such as soot blowers or mechanical rappers. They were completely unaware of a better option.

This is the kind of enquiry we love to receive because we know that our sonic horns are a better alternative - we can present testimonials and case studies that prove it. The quality of performance and reliability from a sonic horn is hard to beat. Even so, we occasionally find that a customer can be nervous when it comes to capital investment in what, to them, is new technology. Their hesitancy, however, is not an obstacle as we can offer a rental option and today we'd like to share some of that detail.

Rental periods for our sonic horns start from as little as 1 month (from date of despatch until date of return to our premises or purchase order date). Some ancillary equipment needs to be on site prior to installation such as mounting fittings, solenoid and timer, pressure gauge and flexible connection hose. These the customer can source separately or purchase them from ourselves.

Other requirements on site include a compressed air supply (we will quote the correct pressure and volume) and an electrical control input to operate the solenoid.

Our sonic horn rental customers can have confidence, not just because we have many years of experience working within many industries and applications around the world but because:

a) we operate strict ISO practices;
b) our sonic horns are all tested prior to despatch;
c) should a customer report a sonic horn not working, we take them through a fault-finding procedure to help identify the problem accurately. It could be a lack of air pressure or air volume for example
d) if, after going through the checking procedure, a horn is still not working, we will either despatch a replacement or send our local engineer to investigate/fix.

We actually have a rental FAQ on our website with more information. Things covered include delivery times, ease of installation and how to follow-through with a purchase order. So any plant operatives struggling with soot blowers, bin activators or mechanical rapping equipment should think again .... not only are sonic horns a better alternative but you can even 'try before you buy'.
