Tips For Purchasing A Used Injection Molding 
Machine
• If you are looking to purchase a used injection molding machine to use for 
manufacturing plastic products, you will need to know the right steps to follow to 
choose a machine that functions well. You should start with getting the year, make,  
model, tonnage , serial number, shot, hours as well as location of the machine along 
with clear photos that show the machine from all four sides, inside the electrical 
cabinets, the toggle mechanism, the platens as well as the operator station.
• Before you go ahead to purchase any used injection molding machine, you need to 
find out if there is warranty and make sure that proper inspection is done on it. 
While you wouldn’t expect the warranty of a used machine to the same as that of a 
new machine, you still need to make sure that there is warranty, even if it is for half 
a year. The inspection that is done on the machine should note the items that 
function properly as well as what needs to be repaired or replaced.

Machine
• It would be a good idea to ask to see the machine in operation before it 
is shipped to your company.  If you are ordering the machine online or 
cannot be able to see it physically for some reason, it would be a good 
idea to ask to see a video of it running.  The seller should send a 1-2 
minute video that shows the clamp move, the injection end moving, the 
control screen with brief activity on it as well as a quick walk-around of 
the rest of the machine.  Seeing the machine in operation in person or 
via video will save you the trouble of purchasing a faulty that will cost 
you a lot of money in repairs.
