How To Purchase Used Plastic Injection Molding Machines

Used Plastic Injection Molding Machines

If you are planning to purchase used plastic injection molding machines, you need to know how to choose the right ones that will do a great job. When you get started in the plastic production business, you want to make sure that you are making the right choice. The last thing you want is to purchase machines that will start giving you problems left right and center shortly after bringing them to your company.

There are various things you can do in order to make your search for the right used plastic injection molding machines easier. Start with getting the year, make, model, shot, serial number, tonnage as well as hours and location of the machine that you are interested in. Also get the photos of the machine from all four sides, inside the electrical cabinets, the platens as well as the toggle mechanism or ram, and also the operator station.

It is also important to determine if there is warranty and make sure that proper inspection is done to the machine before you go ahead to purchase it.  A good inspection should note what needs repairs or replacement is needed as well as what is functioning properly.

It is a good idea to ask to see the machine that you want to purchase under power before it is shipped to you. If it is not possible to visit the seller in person to see the machine running, you can ask to see a video of it running.  This should be a one to two minute video that shows the clamp move in auto,   the injection end moving, the control screen with a brief activity on it, as well as quick a walk-around of the rest of the machine.
