Why should we seriously analyze leasing options to finance the purchase of equipment?

At PR Distribution, the leasing option proves to be a feasible solution to optain complete cabinet installations, (FASMAG) Vending Managers or equipment that require a significant investment for a company

YES! Here's Why:

Opportunity to have a 100% tax deductible expense

Leasing gives you the opportunity to have a 100% tax deductible expense. : The leaser retains ownership of the equipment until the end of the lease. So the monthly payment goes directly to spending in the vast majority of cases.

Finance the entire purchase

Financing the entire purchase without obligation of payment: unlike the bank loan (between 20% and 50% cash required by the bank), the leasing covers 100% of the investment.

Keeps your borrowing capacity intact

Leasing keeps your borrowing capacity intact: There is no effect on the gearing of the company since the payments are considered rent.

Keeps your equipment at the cutting edge of technology

Leasing keeps your equipment at the cutting edge of technology: in many industries, technology changes rapidly so leasing becomes advantageous. By opting for leasing ,the budget to update equipment is easy to make and you can enjoy at any time of the best technology available!

Obviously, you can choose from several products to finance your equipment investment. Furthurmore, leasing remains a simple, efficient and cost effective for many companies.

Now, recycling Aerosol Cans Is As Easy As...Using Them

The Aerosolv Aerosol Can Recycling System Simplifies Aerosol Can Disposal
The Aerosolv puncturing unit threads directly to the 2” bung of any 30-gallon or 55- gallon drum. Simply place an aerosol can into the Aerosolv unit and lock the safety cap. With a press of the handle, a carbide-tipped puncture pin pierces the dome of the can. The carbide-tip is non-sparking, one of many safety features you’ll appreciate about the Aerosolv system.

Liquids, Collect Directly Into the Drum
That’s the neatest feature of the system. Residual liquids collect safely in the drum, ready for eventual transportation without further handling. And one 55-gallon drum will hold the residual liquids from 4,000 spent aerosol cans. As solid waste, the same cans would require at least forty 55-gallon lab-pack drums at a disposal cost of $12,000 or more.

Residual Propellant is Filtered of VOCs
The Combination Filter threads directly to the 3/4” bung of the drum, one of the many safety features incorporated into the system. Although not required by RCRA for aerosol can disposal, the filter addresses air quality and emissions standards.

The Result? Recyclable Steel and RCRA Compliance
After using the system, you’ve got an empty steel can with a small, smooth-edged hole. In as little as five seconds. No spills. No jagged edges. And, no compressed gas, so it’s ready for recycling with your other scrap steel.

Need information on the Aerosolv recycling system, contact us at 1-800-463-5259.

Aerosolv System: No. SPCPU03

Primary Filter: No. SPCPF05

2 stage Filter: No. SPCPF04
