Let's face it ... every manufacturer must package its products. But what is the best way to keep packaging machinery updated and operating efficiently without replacing it and sinking countless dollars into the effort?
A recent trend in the packaging machinery industry has been to integrate bottling lines, utilizing new machinery where necessary while rebuilding and upgrading existing or previously owned machinery. This type of arrangement offers the manufacturer significant cost savings. Incorporating preowned machinery, even if completely rebuilt, is a fraction of the cost of a new machine. Rebuilt machinery often comes with warranties that include parts and service. By performing a simple cost comparison of replacing a machine completely, vs. rebuilding and upgrading, a clear basis for investment decision-making will become evident. Another advantage is flexibility. Why replace a complete bottling line if it is not necessary? If each component piece of machinery in that line is evaluated, some machines will perform to growing production demands by upgrading controls and/or completely rebuilding the piece. Thus, the existing line remains functional and grows with production needs. There may also be surplus equipment that could be upgraded and integrated with other machinery to form a bottling line that operates like new...
