Buyers purchasing in an industrial pump are faced with a long-term investment decision.

It is not merely a question of procurement and installation costs: today, more than ever, follow-up costs and running costs for the whole operational lifespan are a consideration.

For the procurement of pumps both in the industrial and in the private sector,  the costs for the entire life cycle are playing an ever-increasingly prominent part in purchasing decisions. Herborner Pumpenfabrik has now taken account of the growing interest shown by its customers in obtaining information and being able to calculate these life cycle costs (LCC), and has incorporate an LCC calculator in its website.

This allows visitors and interested parties to carry out comparative calculations via the website. To calculate life cycle costs, the application uses a formula that takes account of a wide range of different factors. This is designed to enable users to determine how economical a pump product or system is in terms of all costs incurred and over its entire period of use.
