Used injection molding machines you can actually inspect

90T to 1600T from Haitian, Yizumi, Tederic and Chen Hsong. Every machine is checked electrically, hydraulically and mechanically, then run under load and recorded on video — so you are buying a machine you have seen working, not one you are taking on trust.

01

What we typically have in stock

Tonnage and brand matched to your product and budget

Stock changes constantly, so treat this as the range we work in rather than a live inventory list. Tell us the tonnage you need and we will tell you what is available at that moment, along with machine age and condition.

Clamping forceTypical useCommon brandsResin commonly run
90 – 150 TSmall enclosures, caps, laboratory plastic partsHaitian, Yizumi, Chen HsongPP, PE, ABS, PC

Sizes outside this range can often be sourced — including higher tonnages and imported machines. Send the requirement and we will confirm availability, age and price.

02

What the inspection actually covers

Three systems, checked before any machine is offered to you

This is the part that matters when buying used. A machine can look clean and run badly. These are the checks we run, and they are what the written report records.

Electrical system

Power supply and wiring condition, main contactor and breaker health, control system faults logged and cleared, screen and operator panel function, encoder and sensor checks, servo drive function if fitted.

Hydraulic system

Oil condition and level, pump performance and pressure holding, valve set response, evidence of past leaks and whether they were properly repaired, accumulator condition, oil cooling function.

Mechanical system

Tie bar condition, platen parallelism and alignment, screw and barrel wear relative to machine age and material, nozzle and heater bands, ejector and mould stroke, safety interlocks and guards.

Run test under load

The machine is actually run — not powered up and photographed — with a test mould or your tooling where available. Cycle time, injection weight and stability are recorded on video so you can judge the machine's real condition.

Documentation

Machine model, serial number, year of manufacture, running hours if recorded, controller version, and what spare parts are included. You get the report and video before shipment, not after.

Export packing

Machine secured for sea or road transport, oil handled per destination requirements, moving parts locked or removed and packed separately, moisture protection applied, spare parts and documents boxed separately.

Machines that fail any of these checks are not offered. If a machine has a known defect we cannot economically repair, we will tell you rather than hope you do not notice. That costs us a sale sometimes. It costs us more to lose a customer and the reputation behind this page.

Buying used — the risks, stated plainly

Where buyers normally get caught, and how to avoid it

Used machinery is a legitimate and often sensible purchase. But it carries specific risks, and any seller who does not mention them is telling you something. Here is the honest list.

Watch out for these

How we handle it

Wear on the screw and barrel is measured, not guessed. Oil condition and service history are documented and dated. The controller model is confirmed before you commit, so you know whether parts will still be available in five years. Tonnage is matched to your part rather than to what is cheapest to ship. And every machine comes with the inspection report and running video before you pay the balance. Third-party inspection is welcome on request — we have no objection to you sending your own inspector.

04

New or used — how to decide

An honest comparison, including where used wins
FactorUsed machineNew machine
Purchase cost30–55% of equivalent new priceFull price
Energy per partHigher on older servo/hydraulic modelsLower, especially all-electric
Remaining service lifeUncertain — depends on condition, not hoursFull expected life
Spare parts availabilityRisk on older control platformsFull, for the model's production run
Lead time to productionWeeksLonger, especially higher tonnage
WarrantyLimited — agreed per machineManufacturer warranty
Best whenEstablished product, stable tooling, budget-driven capacity addNew product launch, tight tolerance, energy costs dominate, no tolerance for downtime

Our honest recommendation: if your product is already proven and your tooling is settled, a well-checked used machine is usually the better financial decision. If you are launching a new product, chasing tight tolerances, or cannot afford downtime, new is worth the premium. Send us the details and we will tell you which side of that line you are on.

05

How a used machine purchase runs

From first message to machine running in your plant
1

Send the requirement

Part, shot weight, resin, tonnage you need, budget, destination port. If you do not know the tonnage, send the part and we will calculate it.

2

Get the shortlist

We come back with available machines at that tonnage, with age, condition summary, photos and a full quotation. Usually within 4 hours on business days.

3

Review report and video

You get the condition inspection report and the running video for each machine. Third-party inspection available at this stage if you want it.

4

Confirm and ship

Payment terms agreed, machine reserved for you, export packing and loading, then documents and tracking sent. Technical support on arrival.

Tell us the machine you need

Send the part, resin and tonnage — or just what you are producing. We will come back with what is available, with the inspection report and running video for each.
