|
| Less Maintenance | – Only a few moving parts
– Each part is repairable |
– Consist of many moving parts.
– All of the parts need to be maintained at the same time. |
| Cleaning Efficiency | – Solve the spillage problem
– Less product loss & better safety working condition |
– Have problem with spillage |
