Buying a used recycling machine: 5 advantages
Time is money in today's fast-paced world of the recycling industry. Delays when buying a recycling machine do not only result in lost time. They also let potential feed material flows go unused.
Buying a used recycling machine has several advantages, in addition to immediate availability.
#1: Shorter waiting time thanks to rapid availability
The immediate availability of a machine is a decisive factor for recycling companies. A used recycling machine does not need to be manufactured. It has the advantage that it is already in stock and is available immediately.
In the recycling industry, time literally means money. Companies that can react quickly to the feed materials available have a decisive competitive advantage.
#2: Lower costs by implementing a used recycling machine
The cost efficiency of a used recycling machine is a significant advantage. Compared to a new machine, a used machine is normally much less expensive.
This is particularly interesting for companies with a limited budget that still need a high-quality recycling solution.
Buying a used recycling machine also saves resources that can be used for other important areas. This could be, for example, optimizing recycling processes or expanding a business area.
#3: Save resources by promoting a sustainable circular economy
In addition to the financial advantage, buying a used recycling machine makes a valuable contribution to sustainability.
By reusing an existing machine, there is no need to manufacture a new machine. The costs for the energy and materials needed to produce a brandnew machine are avoided. This reduces not only the need for new resources, it also reduces environmental impact.
What’s more, it supports the circular economy by promoting a sustainable industry.
#4: Less risk because it’s inspected
When most suppliers sell a used recycling machine they do not refurbish it first. At UMAC, we carry out:
- thorough inspection,
- cleaning and
- if necessary, customization to meet your specific requirements.
A machine that is in perfect condition delivers top quality results. These measures ensure the machine delivers optimum performance. They also ensure that your company produces reliably in the long term.
That’s how you can be sure that your investment in a used recycling machine is profitable in the long term. It also ensures an efficient and high-quality recycling process.
#5: Fewer compromises with customization
Customization is standard on new machines, but not for used ones. At UMAC, we also offer this option for our used recycling machines. It means that each machine is precisely matched to the specific requirements of a company.
This results in an increase in machine efficiency and performance, which in turn increases the profitability of the company. The result is that plastic recyclers benefit from a tailor-made solution at an affordable price.
Customization allows companies to
- optimize their production processes and
- strengthen their competitiveness in the market.
Alternative: Buy used components for your recycling machine
An alternative is to repair or optimize your existing machine. This is significantly more cost-effective than buying a completely new recycling machine.
You can buy used components from well-known manufacturers such as the EREMA Group. They are thoroughly tested and adapted to your specific process requirements.
Following quick integration into your recycling machine, the quality of the recycled pellets for your customers increases rapidly. Smooth and efficient production is also ensured.
