Used IMS Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

IMS Company was founded in 1949 by A. Reynolds "Ren" Morse, who had previously designed Van Dorn's very first injection molding machine before recognizing the plastics industry's need for a dedicated supply and equipment partner. Originally called Injection Molders Supply Co. and launched in Cleveland, Ohio, the business grew into a family-owned institution now headquartered in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, where it has served molders for more than seven decades with a philosophy of always putting the molder first.

The company's auxiliary equipment lineup covers the full range of process support needs on the injection molding floor. IMS hot runner temperature controllers are built with industrial-grade electronics and are compatible with type J and K thermocouples, working interchangeably with DME and Athena systems across single- and multi-zone configurations. The Hydra, True-Ton, and MicroMax chiller series provide air-cooled and water-cooled process cooling from compact portable units up to 25-ton capacity models with touchscreen PLC controls. Water temperature controllers and mold circulators round out the thermal management offering. On the material handling side, IMS Select Line conveyors come in horizontal, incline, and horizontal-to-incline configurations in multiple widths, while drum tumblers and barrel mixers handle resin blending and conditioning. The LP and A series granulators offer a range of cutting chamber sizes for in-press and beside-press regrind, and drum-type part and runner separators automate the separation of finished parts from sprue and runner scrap.

IMS equipment is used across the full breadth of plastics processing, with particular depth in injection molding shops serving automotive components, consumer products, medical device manufacturing, packaging, and industrial parts production. The company's catalog spans over a million products, making it a single-source supplier for both the equipment and the consumables, components, and spare parts that keep that equipment running.

Buyers seeking used IMS equipment on the secondary market are drawn by the brand's reputation for straightforward, robust construction and the ready availability of replacement parts directly from the manufacturer's stocked warehouse. Because IMS designs its own equipment lines and maintains deep parts inventories, downtime risk on a used IMS granulator, chiller, or conveyor is lower than with many comparable brands. The company's long catalog history also means that documentation, instruction manuals, and technical support remain accessible for older models, making used IMS auxiliary equipment a practical and cost-effective choice for processors looking to expand capacity without new-equipment lead times or pricing.
