Used Beringer Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

Beringer was founded in 1960 by mechanical engineer Charles J. Beringer in Chicago, Illinois, and relocated to Marblehead, Massachusetts in the mid-1960s. Charles Beringer was widely recognized as a pioneer in the development of slide-plate screen changers and innovative plastics processing equipment. The company grew into one of the dominant names in extrusion auxiliary equipment before being acquired by Madison Capital Partners as part of the 1998 purchase of John Brown Plastics Machinery, and production was subsequently consolidated with Dynisco Extrusion in Hickory, North Carolina in 2001. The Beringer trademark has been owned by Dynisco Extrusion L.L.C., and the product line has continued under that lineage.

Beringer's flagship product lines center on jet cleaners, screen changers, and pelletizing systems. The Jet Cleaner series — including the widely used JCP 1724 and the compact Mini Jet Cleaner — employs a vacuum pyrolysis process that uses heat and vacuum to vaporize polymer residue from metal parts such as dies, screws, and screen changer components, without the need for chemical solvents or manual torching. Manual and hydraulic slide-plate screen changers were offered in sizes from 1 inch to 6 inches, and the CFW Series continuous-flow wheel screen changers extended the range into rotary filtration. Water-ring and in-line pelletizing systems rounded out the extrusion auxiliary lineup.

Beringer equipment has served a broad range of industries within the plastics sector, including base resin production, polymer compounding, post-consumer recycling, film extrusion, and specialty coatings. The jet cleaners in particular found wide adoption wherever extrusion hardware — blown film dies, screen changer plates, and extruder screws — required regular cleaning between production runs or material changes. Laboratory and on-site polymer test applications also fell within the Beringer and Dynisco product ecosystem, supporting quality control in resin manufacturing and compounding operations.

Buyers seeking used Beringer jet cleaners and related equipment value the brand for its straightforward, robust construction and low maintenance requirements. The vacuum pyrolysis cleaning method is energy-efficient, produces minimal exhaust, and extends the service life of expensive tooling — qualities that make well-maintained used units highly practical for processors looking to reduce cleaning costs. The longevity of Beringer machines, many of which remain in active service decades after manufacture, reflects the durability that keeps them in demand on the secondary market.
