In recent years there has been an increase in the amount of second hand weighing and packaging equipment being installed at sites around the UK. Whilst this may provide a cost-effective solution for upgrading a packing plant it can lead to inefficient and inaccurate operations. An increasing number of end-users are now contacting the Chronos Richardson Service Department to seek advice on how to make second hand equipment work properly.

As a BS EN ISO 9001:2001 registered company Chronos Richardson provides genuine spare parts matched to the original design authority documentation at competitive prices.
