Plastic injection molding machine for sale

If you are going to sell a plastic injection molding machine, here are some points to note:
I. Equipment Information Organization
• Equipment Specifications and Parameters
◦ Clearly define the clamping force of the injection molding machine, such as 50 tons or 100 tons. This is a crucial parameter as it determines the maximum size and complexity of plastic products that the machine can mold. Accurately record and provide it to the buyer.
◦ The shot volume information is also important. It represents the amount of plastic that can be injected into the mold each time, usually measured in cubic centimeters (cm³) or ounces (oz).
◦ The platen size, including the dimensions of the fixed and movable platens, is needed. The buyer will judge its suitability based on their own mold size.
◦ Clearly state the mold opening stroke of the machine, which affects the convenience of mold installation and product removal.
• Equipment Brand and Model
◦ Specify the brand of the injection molding machine in detail, such as Haitian, Chen Hsong, etc. The brand is often related to equipment quality and after-sales service.
◦ Provide accurate model information. Different models may have differences in functions and performances, and the buyer may search for relevant technical data according to the model.
• Equipment Year and Usage Status
◦ Inform the buyer of the manufacture date of the injection molding machine and estimate the years of use. Generally, newer equipment may be more favored.
◦ Describe the usage status of the equipment in detail, including the total running hours, maintenance records, etc. If the equipment has undergone major repairs or modifications, specially explain the content, time and reason of the repair or modification.
• Equipment Ancillary Equipment
◦ List the standard accessories that come with the equipment, such as the specification and quantity of the injection screw, the material and size of the barrel.
◦ Mention whether there are additional optional accessories available for sale, such as special mold clamps, automated part-removal devices.
◦ Explain the type of the control system of the equipment, whether it is a traditional relay control system or an advanced PLC control system, and whether it comes with an operation manual, programming software and other relevant documents.
II. Equipment Pricing Strategy
• Market Research
◦ Understand the price range of injection molding machines of the same type, specification, brand and similar years of use in the market. This can be done through second-hand equipment trading websites, industry forums, consulting second-hand equipment dealers, etc.
◦ Consider the impact of special configurations or upgrades of the equipment on the price. For example, if the equipment is equipped with a high-precision temperature control system or a quick mold change device, these value-added configurations may relatively increase the price.
• Pricing Factor Consideration
◦ Price according to the newness of the equipment. Newer equipment in good condition can be priced appropriately higher, but also consider the depreciation factor. Generally, equipment has a certain annual depreciation rate, usually around 10% - 20%, and the specific depreciation rate varies depending on factors such as equipment brand, quality and market demand.
◦ Refer to the remaining service life of the equipment. If the equipment has been well maintained and is expected to have a longer service life, it can be reflected in the price. For example, after professional assessment, it is expected that the equipment can still operate normally for 5 - 10 years, which can be an advantage in pricing.
III. Marketing and Display
• Take High-Quality Photos
◦ Photograph the appearance of the injection molding machine from multiple angles, including the front, side, back and top, to show the overall shape and structure of the equipment.
◦ Photograph the key components of the equipment, such as the injection unit, clamping unit, control panel, etc., clearly presenting the details of the components, such as whether there is wear, corrosion, etc.
◦ Provide some photos or videos of the equipment in operation (if possible) to show the performance of the equipment and help the buyer better understand it.
• Write a Detailed Product Description
◦ In the product introduction, in addition to the equipment specifications and usage status mentioned above, the advantages of the equipment can also be highlighted, such as high-precision injection molding ability, low energy consumption characteristics, easy operation, etc.
◦ Use plain language, but also include professional terms so that the buyer can accurately understand the performance of the equipment. For example, it can be described like this: "This injection molding machine adopts an advanced hydraulic system, which can precisely control the injection pressure and ensure the dimensional accuracy of plastic products within ±0.1mm."
• Choose Appropriate Sales Channels
◦ Use professional second-hand equipment trading platforms (such as second-hand machinery equipment websites) to release sales information. These platforms have a large number of potential buyers and provide relatively standardized trading processes.
◦ Display the equipment at industry exhibitions, seminars, etc. (if conditions permit), and directly communicate with potential buyers face to face to increase sales opportunities. Sales information can also be released through social media platforms, industry WeChat groups, etc., but pay attention to the authenticity and legality of the information.
IV. Transaction and After-Sales Service
• Transaction Method and Contract
◦ Determine a safe and reliable transaction method, such as bank transfer, check, etc. For large-value transactions, it is recommended to conduct fund settlement through a bank escrow account to ensure the rights and interests of both parties.
◦ Sign a detailed sales contract. The contract content should include the basic information of the equipment (brand, model, specification, etc.), price, payment method, delivery time and place, equipment quality guarantee clause, after-sales service content, etc.
◦ Clearly define the transfer time of equipment ownership in the contract. Generally, it is transferred after the buyer pays the full amount, but other methods can also be determined according to the negotiation between both parties.
• After-Sales Service
◦ Although it is a second-hand equipment sale, a certain after-sales service should also be provided. For example, promise to provide free technical consulting services within a certain period (such as one month) after the equipment is delivered to help the buyer solve the problems encountered during equipment installation and commissioning.
◦ If the equipment has a warranty period, clearly define the warranty scope in the contract, such as whether only the main components of the equipment are warranted or all components; the maintenance responsibility and cost-bearing method in case of quality problems during the warranty period.
