What to Consider When Buying Used Industrial Equipment
When purchasing used industrial equipment, thoroughly evaluate the machine's condition, maintenance history, and remaining useful life. Request documentation including service records, calibration certificates, and any known issues. Inspect the equipment in person when possible — look for signs of wear, leaks, unusual noises, and overall maintenance quality. Check that safety systems are intact and functional.
Consider the total cost of ownership beyond the purchase price: rigging, shipping, installation, reconditioning, spare parts availability, and any necessary upgrades to controls or safety systems. Used equipment typically offers 40-70% savings over new, with immediate availability versus months-long lead times for new machines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of industrial printing equipment does Meadoworks carry?
We stock pad printers, screen printers, and marking systems for product decoration and identification. Our inventory includes single and multi-color systems, rotary pad printers, and automated printing cells from Tampo, Pad Print Machinery, M&R, and other manufacturers.
What's the difference between pad printing and screen printing?
Pad printing transfers ink from an etched plate via a silicone pad—excellent for irregular surfaces, recessed areas, and small detailed images. Screen printing pushes ink through a mesh stencil—better for flat surfaces, larger print areas, and high-volume flat items.
Can pad printing work on curved and irregular surfaces?
Yes, pad printing's silicone pad conforms to irregular shapes, making it ideal for printing on molded parts, golf balls, pens, bottle caps, and other curved or textured surfaces. The process handles concave, convex, and multi-plane surfaces that screen printing cannot reach.
