Used Plastic Processing Equipment for Sale

Spec Ranges on the Plastics Machinery We Have Handled

Injection molding machines — most of the presses we have listed and sold run about 55–940 tons of clamp force, with shot sizes of about 3–150 oz and screw diameters of about 23–100 mm.

Resin dryers — rated throughput on the dryers we have listed and sold runs mostly 15–200 lb/hr, and most auxiliary motors we have handled are 1–25 HP.

These are the middle of our own listing and sales records, not limits: smaller and larger machines come through. Each family page counts the machines on that page.

How to Choose Used Plastics Processing Equipment

Start from the part. A solid part with a cavity is injection molded, a hollow bottle or tank is blow molded or rotomolded, a continuous shape (pipe, profile, film, sheet) is extruded, and a thin tray or cup is thermoformed.

Then size the machine: clamp tonnage from the part's projected area and the resin, shot size so each shot uses roughly 20–80% of the barrel, an extruder by the output in lb/hr you need. Size the dryer, loader, chiller and temperature controllers to that throughput, and check voltage, cooling water and floor space at your plant before you buy.

What to Inspect on Used Plastics Machinery

Hydraulics — the pump holds pressure, no leaks at the cylinders and manifolds, oil clean.

Screw and barrel — wear readings, the check ring, and every heater zone reaching temperature.

Control — it boots without alarms, the screens and recipes work, and the hour meter matches the story.

Clamp and molds area — tie bars, platens and toggles free of cracks or repairs.

Auxiliaries — dryers reach dew point, chillers hold temperature, loaders convey.

Plastics Processing Applications & Industries

Our used plastics machinery goes to custom and captive molders, extruders, blow molders, thermoformers and recyclers making packaging, closures and containers, automotive parts, medical and consumer products, pipe and profile for construction, and housewares.
