Each day of delay for plastics processors means untapped material flows, lost orders and less revenue. When buying a plastic recycling machine, there are more ways than just a customized system.
In our blog article, we explain
Companies need to act quickly in a world where sustainability and environmental protection are playing an increasingly important role.
Ordering delays and long delivery times for a new recycling machine not only waste valuable time. They also leave potential material flows untapped. Time is quite literally money in the recycling industry. Companies that can react quickly to the materials that are currently available have a decisive competitive advantage.
Therefore, immediate availability when buying a plastic recycling machine is a decisive factor for the success and profitability of recycling companies.
But which options do you have when buying and what are the advantages?
Used machines offer an attractive option for companies that need a machine with quick availability. They also have other advantages:
Their cost-effectiveness is a major advantage. Used machines are generally much cheaper than new machines. This is particularly important for companies with a limited budget that still need a high-quality recycling solution.
Used machines contribute to sustainability as returning them to operation is a form of recycling. Because a machine is being reused, no new machine needs to be manufactured. This reduces the need for new resources and lowers environmental impact.
When buying a used plastic recycling machine, ensure the supplier inspects, cleans and, repairs it if needed. This ensures the machine can handle your material flow effectively. Only a machine that is in pristine condition will be able to deliver quality results.
Some suppliers offer the option of customization. Machines can be customized to precisely meet the needs of a company. This improves efficiency and performance and increases profitability. This means that the plastics processor gets a customized solution at a lower price.

Standardized machines that are always in stock offer a practical solution for companies. They are manufactured in advance and are available immediately, which has several advantages:
Standardized machines do not have to be adapted to meet specific customer requirements. This means they can be manufactured in series and always kept in stock. Because the availability of the machine is a given, it can be delivered promptly.
Standardized manufacturing offers another key advantage. Manufacturing costs can be planned. This results in a lower fixed price compared to a customized version.
Standardized machines also stand for proven performance. Because they feature a standard design, these machines have already been used successfully at many processors. This means that companies can rely on the fact that they can buy a reliable and efficient plastic recycling machine.

The third option is to repair or improve your existing plastic recycling machine. This is much cheaper than buying a new machine and saves time.
You can buy used components for your plastic recycling machine from well-known manufacturers such as the EREMA Group. They are carefully checked and, if necessary, adapted to meet your requirements.
Being able to integrate components into your recycling machine brings an immediate improvement in the quality of the recycled pellets for your customers. What's more, you ensure effective ongoing production. That’s because they maximize the service life of your machines and minimize downtime.
