Used Automa Auxiliary Equipment for Sale

Automa was founded in 1972 by Vittorio Gentili in the Bologna region of Italy, originally to produce blow molding machines in support of an Italian consumer goods operation. The company entered international markets by 1975 and grew steadily into one of Italy's most recognized names in blow molding machinery. After a period of restructuring in 2014, the brand and its production heritage were carried forward, and in 2018 Automa was united with Magic MP to form Automa by Magic S.r.l., which continues to manufacture and support the historical machine lines from its Cadriano, Italy headquarters.

Automa's core product range centers on injection blow molding machines, most notably the NSB series — including the NSB-20, NSB-50, and NSB-80 — which are single-stage, rotary injection stretch-blow molding platforms designed for high-precision PET container production. The company also produced continuous shuttle-style extrusion blow molding machines and accumulator head extrusion blow molders capable of forming containers from PE, HDPE, PP, PC, PETG, and PVC in sizes ranging from 20 ml to 30 liters. Both hydraulic and electric machine configurations were offered across the product lineup.

Automa machines were engineered primarily for industries demanding tight dimensional tolerances and consistent neck finishes. The cosmetics and personal care sector has long been a flagship market, with Automa injection blow molders producing bottles for shampoos, lotions, and fragrances. Pharmaceutical manufacturers rely on the same platforms for dosing bottles and sterile packaging, while food and beverage producers use the extrusion blow molding lines for dairy, juice, and condiment containers. Household and industrial cleaner producers round out the core end-market base.

Buyers seeking used Automa injection blow molding machines are drawn to the brand's reputation for robust hydraulic construction, long service life, and a well-established global spare-parts ecosystem. The NSB series in particular holds its value on the secondary market because mold tooling and replacement components remain widely available from Italian suppliers, and the machines are straightforward to overhaul. For processors producing small-to-medium runs of precision PET containers, a pre-owned Automa NSB offers a cost-effective entry point into single-stage injection blow technology without sacrificing output quality.
