Expedited Shipments

At Sharpe Mixers, we enjoy the flexibility to work with our valued customers in expediting important ship dates when necessary. Let's face it, even with the best planning, emergencies can still pop up from time to time. Suddenly a standard shipment schedule isn't good enough to meet our customer's needs.

How do we help our customers to meet critical deadlines in such emergencies? We expedite! Most often, we can improve ship dates with an additional fee. This allows us to authorize overtime in engineering and production to get the job done, without affecting other jobs in house.

The mixer pictured here is going into a crystalizer feed tank. It's a special impeller and includes Hasetelloy C276 wetted parts. Special alloys can add to lead times, and require longer fabrication times. Standard delivery on such a mixer would be 10-12 weeks.

In this case, we promised delivery in 6 weeks - and delivered in 5! That's right, we beat our own estimate by a full week!

How can we help you?
