A second-hand liquid filling machine can be a budget-friendly investment when chosen correctly; however, a wrong choice can lead to unexpected costs after installation. Before buying, you should always check the machine's critical points.
Condition of nozzles, pump and flowmeter
The most worn parts of filling machines are the nozzle, gear pump and flowmeter. Wear on these parts directly affects filling accuracy; not buying without checking eliminates an important risk.
Stainless body and hygiene condition
An AISI 304/316 stainless steel body is essential for food and cosmetics production. If you see corrosion, cracking or signs of poor cleaning on the body, you should question the machine's hygiene suitability.
Panel and electronic components
The touchscreen panel and electronic boards are critical components that determine the machine's service life. Check live that the panel works and functions such as saving recipes run smoothly.
New or second-hand?
For many producers a new machine may be safer due to warranty, up-to-date technology and service support. If you buy second-hand, be sure to clarify spare part availability and service options.
