It is easy to see why this mindset might become prevalent. After all, identifying the right pump for the right process requires a lot of time and due diligence, from performance reviews to cost estimates, to even soliciting opinions from other manufacturers. In reality, studies of different types of manufacturing operations have indicated that, when all is said and done, the purchase price of a pump will only be 10 to 15% of its total lifecycle cost
