Plastics and rubber machines: auction prices

We have recorded 5 auction sales with a price of 7 models by 7 makes in this category, and 3 lots are at auction now. Pick a make, or a model below.

This category covers the machinery used to turn raw plastics and rubber into finished parts, spanning injection moulding presses, extrusion lines, blow moulding units, thermoforming equipment, granulators, dryers, moulds and rubber presses and mixers. ENGEL and FANUC are well known names in injection moulding, with ranges running from small benchtop presses up to large tonnage machines for industrial production, while Uniloy Milacron is a long established maker of blow moulding equipment used for bottles and containers. Moretto and Tria specialise in auxiliary equipment such as dryers and granulators that support moulding lines, and companies like Rapid and Barrie Irons are associated with granulation and size reduction machinery. These machines are bought by plastics processors, packaging manufacturers and component makers for production runs rather than one off jobs.
