I agree with all of you and maybe throw in only leasing for a year and turning them back in. The hit they will take in depreciation would be less than what it will take to repair those machines for multiple years.

I have had customers in salt, seafood, fertilizer and meat processing and have seen nothing successfull. All makes and all models get wiped out in those applications.

Maybe recommend daily freshwater baths and do really good P.M.'s thats about all you can do.
