For a corrugated cardboard and carton making company, the corrugated cardboard production line can be 80% of the whole company consumption. So a high quality corrugated cardboard production line is the key for the company running well.
For some small scale carton making company, to buy a full sets of corrugated cardboard production line is too expensive for them, then they consider some second hand corrugator line. Sure, this is also a solution for some new and small carton manufacture
The problem is that, for the carton making company, a new production line, they have to consider the quality, then for second production line, the quality is much more important which has to be considered.
The price and the quality of the second hand production line is Inversely proportional, normally the more years production line is in lower price, few years production line is in a higher price. But how to choose the second hand corrugated cardboard production line? We can evaluation the second hand production line as below
What is the brand of the corrugated cardboard production line?
For second hand machines, I only suggest famous brand, the quality is guarantee, when we buy a new production line, we also have to consider the machine from big factory with a better quality, then for a second hand production line, the machine from small carton machine factory has to be ignored.
How many years the old production line has been running?
Famous brand corrugated cardboard production line, its working life can be lots of years, then if the you want a cheaper line, you can consider the production line which had run nearly 10 years. The price will be lower, and the corrugated cardboard production line still can run years. When we buy it, we have to check the parts which is easy to wear and tear. For example the flute roller, do we have to buy new flute rollers for the production line, if we need, we’d better to contact the factory of the production line to check if they can offer same mold parts. And also need to ask the carton making factory, do they still keep the drawing of the parts which need to updated, though the carton machine factory can not offer the parts, we also can find other treatment factory to produce the part as per the drawing.
To understand more of the carton making factory which had owned the second hand production line
Check with the last owner of the corrugated cardboard production line, ask the quality of the production line to make sure if the production line still can work well. We can contact some workers of the factory or other people, then we can get the real conditions of the production line.
After sales service of the second hand corrugated cardboard production line.
Normally, we buy the second hand production line from the last owner or from the agent. Whatever who we buy it from, now it is nearly no after sale service for the second hand production line.
If in China local market, to buy a second hand production line from the agent is a little better, because some agent want to create their brand, they can offer some after sale service, but if for exporting, the second hand production line is without any service after sale. So I suggest the buyer of second corrugated cardboard production line in other countries, do not consider the second hand production line, it can not help you to make money, it can only bring you problems and troubles.
