KD Machinery buys and brokers production machinery. For this equipment the better route is almost always our auction side: KD Auctions runs whole-facility sales and liquidations, which is where this equipment reaches the buyers who want it.
Tell us what you have and how to reach you, and we will come back with a route and a number — usually the same day. The make and model of your machine are enough to start.
Packaging equipment is only worth what it is worth in a line. A filler that was set up for one bottle and one cap can be changed over to another, but the change parts are what decide whether that is an afternoon or a project, and they are the thing sellers most often cannot find. The other question a buyer asks immediately is whether the OEM still supports the machine and whether the controls can still be programmed by somebody other than the person who left. Equipment like this sells best where a room full of processors and packagers are looking at once, because the buyer who already runs that format will pay for it and nobody else will.
Fillers, cappers and labelers, case packers and palletizers, wrappers and bagging equipment, conveyors and accumulation, checkweighers and inspection systems, mixers, kettles and tanks, and complete packaging lines. Stainless and washdown equipment included.
Packaging equipment sells on being seen running your own product:
More than almost anything else on this equipment. Without them the machine only runs the format it is set up for, which narrows the buyers to whoever happens to want exactly that. Look properly before the sale is set up, including any parts stored away from the machine. Finding a crate of tooling has moved the value of a filler more than a service record ever has.
Later than you probably think, and running is an advantage rather than a problem. Equipment filmed making real product sells better than equipment described as working. We can photograph and catalog while you are still producing, and set the removal date around your last run.
For food, beverage and pharmaceutical buyers it is not simply worth more, it is the only thing they can use, so it reaches a much larger and better-funded set of bidders. Mild steel equipment still sells, into industrial and non-food work. The distinction is worth stating clearly in the listing rather than leaving a buyer to guess from photographs.
