METO supports its equipment from specification through delivery and operation. This page summarizes how warranty and after-sales support work. The standard warranty periods are listed below. The start date and exact scope for each project are stated in the sales contract, which prevails if it differs from this summary.
What the warranty covers
METO warrants that equipment it manufactures will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and maintenance, within the warranty period that applies to that item. If a covered defect is confirmed, METO will repair the equipment or supply replacement parts as agreed in the contract.
Warranty periods
| Artículo | Warranty period |
|---|---|
| Tank bodies (fermenters, bright tanks, storage and mixing tanks and other pressure vessels) | 5 years |
| Auxiliary equipment (pumps, valves, controls, chillers, CIP, packaging and similar equipment) | 1 year |
| Wear parts (such as gaskets, seals and gauges) | 3 months |
The warranty period starts on the date stated in the contract. Commercial terms for a specific project, including any different scope agreed in writing, are set out in that contract.
What is not covered
- Damage from misuse, improper operation or operation outside the specified pressure, temperature or capacity.
- Damage from installation, modification or repair not carried out according to METO’s instructions or without METO’s approval.
- Normal wear and consumable parts after their 3-month wear-parts warranty has ended, and consumables such as filter media, unless the contract states otherwise.
- Damage caused by utilities, water quality or cleaning chemicals outside the specified requirements.
- Damage in transport or storage after risk has passed to the buyer, and events beyond reasonable control.
