Consulting Help with your Plant Purchases
Looking to buy a used asphalt plant? Yes, I can help you.
However, I should mention that I am not a plant broker. Plant
brokers simply find you a plant, tack on 8% to 10% to the price,
then sell you the thing. After that, they contact companies like
mine to help you get it running.
Here at C.M. Consulting, we operate a little bit differently.
First, we find out what you need, what you can afford, what the
state requirements are for your area and what the EPA
requirements are. Then we look through our inventory of 'owner
direct' used plants to see if any of these would meet your
needs. If so, we send you pictures and a description of the
plant. If you are interested, we give you the owner's name and
number and you call them to work out whatever deal you can. We
make money off the deal only if you hire our company to help you
set the plant up and train your operator.
If a used plant does not fit your needs, we go to our extensive
contacts among the new plant manufacturers. We then negotiate on
your behalf to get you the correct equipment at the best price
possible. If you are interested in their proposal, we put you in
touch with the highest ranking individual we know in that
company (in several cases it will be the owner). You, again,
will negotiate your best direct price, cutting out the middle
men and saving around 10%. As before, we make money off the deal
only if you ask the manufacturer to hire our company to help you
set the plant up and train your operator.
As you can see, we are a different kind of company,
unique in the industry. We have extensive experience with many
of the manufacturers, having installed new plants for many of
them in some very exotic locations. I, personally, have been to
85
countries on 6 continents in the last 10 years.
I would suggest that your first goal should be to obtain the
“conditional use” permit necessary to operate an asphalt plant
on your existing property. At the same time you should contact
the local air quality authority and apply for a “source permit”.
This rather ominous sounding item is simply a permit to
pollute-- albeit in a limited and regulated manner. Next, you
should contact whatever cities, counties and state entities that
you hope to sell to and get a copy of their asphalt plant
regulations. I do not charge anyone for phone
consultations, so please call if I can be of any help.
