Used processing machines

Check tonnage, platen size and daylight, stroke, hydraulic condition, heater zones and control type, electrical requirements, age, maintenance records, and any signs of leaks or platen wear. Verify mold compatibility and available tooling fixtures.

Estimate by machine weight, dimensions, and need to disassemble. Include crane or forklift, heavy-duty flatbed, permits, and on-site rigging labor. Get quotes from transporters experienced with presses and plan for careful lifting points and skid protection.

Yes, but request detailed photos and videos: startup, hydraulic pressure readings, heater operation, platen surfaces, electrical panel, and a full cycle run if possible. Ask for maintenance logs and recent service records.

Regular hydraulic fluid and filter changes, check and replace seals, inspect heater bands and thermocouples, keep platen faces clean and aligned, tighten fasteners, and test safety interlocks. Follow manufacturer service intervals for pumps and controls.

Common parts like seals, pumps, heaters and controls are usually available, but availability depends on brand and age. Custom molds and tooling take time to reproduce—confirm suppliers and spare inventories before purchase.
