Note from asker:
| So it means they bring in equipment rather than money for buying equipment? |
| Thanks. I know the difference between the two English phrases. I am just not sure of what is being invested. |

Discussion
or you might use these two phrases to distinguish them:
1. 投入（必要）设备[到……中] that's invest equipment as ya know
2. 投入【资金】到设备（的建设/购买）中， for invest in equipment, there is usually a "到"between "投入"and "设备"
:) hope this could be helpful too
