If you are planning to buy used plastic machinery to use in the production of plastic 
products in your business, you need to know how to choose the right one for your 
needs. Since this is a second-hand product you are buying, you need to select it 
carefully to avoid wasting money on a machine that will not serve you for long.  
Below, we look at some of the things you should do to make sure that you are 
making the right choice. 
Before you purchase any injection molding machine, you need to check if it has 
adequate clamp tonnage. If clamp tonnage of the machine is too low, it will be 
difficult to produce quality parts. Low clamp tonnage can lead to inconsistent 
weights, flash, short shots, poor surface finish, wall section variation, and size 
variation. Machine and mold wear will be excessive.

You should also take into consideration the energy consumption of the used plastic 
machinery you want to buy. Just like there is almost no difference in your cars fuel 
consumption with two people in it compared to just one person, a molding 
machine is the same. A small mold requires almost as much energy to open and 
close the platen compared with a medium size mold. 
A properly selected used plastic injection molding machines will use power very 
efficiently. So, before you decide to buy any machine, you should take the time to 
learn about how to reduce your energy bill on your existing machinery by changing 
parameters in the plastic injection molding process.
The type of machine design you purchase also plays a significant role in power 
consumption. There are three types of machine designs, namely fully hydraulic, 
fully electric and hybrid machines.
