Used Schuma Plant Support Equipment for Sale

Schuma Maschinenbau GmbH was founded on January 1, 1980 by Torsten Schuster in Weilheim, Germany, with the name being a contraction of Schuster Maschinenbau. The company grew from a small external manufacturing operation into an internationally active, medium-sized enterprise headquartered at Heinrich-Kahn-Str. 63 in Laichingen, Baden-Württemberg. Ownership passed through several hands over the decades, and the legal name was updated to Schuma Maschinenbau GmbH, while the brand's identity as a specialist in customized conveyor technology remained constant. The company has exhibited regularly at major plastics trade fairs including Fakuma in Friedrichshafen and K in Düsseldorf.

Schuma's product portfolio is organized around three core concept families. The Conveyor Concepts line covers flat belt conveyors in the PRO-EN and EU series for straight linear transport, the PRO-ZN for compact inclined transport, the PRO-SEN steep conveyor, the PRO-WA angular L-conveyor, the PRO-SRO driven roller track, chain conveyors, the EN-VA stainless steel food-grade belt, and metal plate belts for heavy loads. The Parts Management Concepts family addresses separation and quality assurance with the STE separation drum, SSE sprue sorting equipment, AS attachment separator, USK switching flap, ASR ejection sorting chute, TSR part-protecting chute, and VR distribution chute. The Tray Concepts family rounds out the range with linear, circulation, and level tray buffer systems, a full line of tray stacking systems including the BoSS-C, and the DR motor-driven rotary turntable. Frames are built from aluminum extrusion for standard applications and from welded, powder-coated steel for heavy-duty use.

Schuma conveyors are deployed across plastics processing plants, food and beverage production lines, pharmaceutical and medical manufacturing facilities, paper industry operations, and recycling facilities. The company's parts-management and separation equipment is particularly prevalent downstream of injection molding machines, where sprue sorting, part separation, and tray buffering are critical to automated production cells.

Buyers seeking used Schuma conveyors on the secondary market consistently cite the brand's robust German engineering, long service life of the aluminum and steel frame assemblies, and the availability of spare parts and PLC-based automation support. Because Schuma builds to customer-specific requirements, individual units tend to retain strong resale value and can often be redeployed with minimal modification. The straightforward mechanical design of the PRO-series flat belt conveyors in particular makes them easy to inspect, service, and integrate into existing lines, making used Schuma equipment a practical and cost-effective choice.
