Buy & Sell Used Plastics Processing Extrusion Machines for Sale
Frequently Asked Questions about used Extrusion Machines
What is an extrusion machine and what is it used for?
An extrusion machine is a production line that pushes plastic or metal material through a screw and die to continuously create profiles, pipes, films, or pellets. It is commonly used in plastics processing, food production, and metal forming. At Asset-Trade you can find used extrusion machines configured for different materials and output requirements.
What should I look for when buying a used extrusion machine?
Pay attention to the condition of the screw and barrel, the control system, available die tooling, and maintenance records. Material compatibility and how the machine integrates into your existing production line are equally important. Asset-Trade offers a free machine appraisal and a multi-stage inspection with functional tests to help you make the right choice.
How much does a used extrusion machine cost compared to a new one?
Used extrusion machines typically cost 40–70% less than comparable new equipment, though the exact price depends on model, year, condition, and configuration. We do not quote blanket prices because every machine is evaluated individually. Asset-Trade can provide a free appraisal and a transparent offer for the machine you are considering.
How does the inspection and testing of a used extrusion machine at Asset-Trade work?
Asset-Trade offers an on-site inspection and demonstration of the extrusion machine, where you can see it running and check its performance. We also carry out a multi-stage inspection with functional tests to document the technical condition. A dedicated project manager guides you through the entire 7-step purchase process.
How does shipping and export of an extrusion machine to another country work?
Asset-Trade arranges worldwide shipping and export for extrusion machines, including loading, customs clearance, and transport documentation. We advise you on the import regulations of your destination country and coordinate logistics with specialized freight forwarders. This ensures the machine is delivered safely and on schedule to your site.
What common mistakes should I avoid when buying a used extrusion machine?
Common mistakes include skipping an on-site technical inspection, underestimating wear parts like the screw and die, and failing to check spare part availability. It is also problematic not to define your material and throughput requirements in advance. Asset-Trade helps prevent this with a free appraisal, multi-stage inspection, and a dedicated project manager.
