Packaging machinery is a significant financial investment. However, if you are expanding your business or want to replace some of the equipment on your current production line for an upgraded product, the cost is well worth it.
When it comes to buying packaging equipment, there are a lot of pre-owned models available for purchase. For businesses just getting started or for anyone looking for a deal, used packaging equipment may be the best option.
It can be difficult to wade through the abundance of used packaging machinery being sold by manufacturers, auctioneers, and individual sellers. How can you tell if a used packaging machine is going to work? Where can you get support if something goes wrong? That’s why we recommend working with an established used packaging equipment seller like HP Packaging, where we have the right expertise to help you find the best machine for your business.

When shopping for new packaging equipment for a new or existing production line, consider purchasing rebuilt packaging machinery and equipment to meet your needs. There are benefits that come with rebuilt equipment that can offer your business a great return on your capital investment.
But first…
Rebuilt packaging machinery is packaging equipment that has been reconstructed for full functionality. With high-quality rebuilt equipment, including VFFS and HFFS machinery and more, you can complete your packaging systems without the need for new equipment.
One of the benefits of getting rebuilt packaging equipment for your production line is lower costs. You won’t need to spend as much on rebuilt machinery as you would on new machinery from the manufacturer. This is particularly ideal if you don’t have a lot of money to spend on a packaging system for a new business.
Even if your business is well-established and you can afford new equipment, you can still benefit from the same improved productivity and longevity that you would get with new machinery when you install rebuilt systems.
If you purchase rebuilt packaging machinery from a trusted company, you won’t need to worry about compromising quality for reduced costs. A reliable reseller will make sure all rebuilt equipment is fully functional and ready for installation before selling it. Rebuilt equipment is heavily tested to ensure optimal working conditions – just like you’d expect from a new piece of equipment.
There are many resellers that carry rebuilt packaging equipment. The key to finding the right one is making sure you find a company that you can trust to provide you with top-quality machinery for your application. You shouldn’t settle for equipment that will leave your system vulnerable to shutdowns and downtime simply because it costs less than a newer system.
If you’re trying to find the right rebuilt packaging machines for your production lines, there are certain aspects to consider, including:
Although you won’t buy rebuilt machinery from the manufacturers, it’s important to get equipment originally built by manufacturers that are known for their quality. The best resellers will rebuild equipment from brands that are trusted in the industry for consistent quality of construction, which will help ensure that they last once rebuilt.
Brands such as Hayssen, Ishida, Matrix, Yamato, Ilapak, Deamco, and Loma equipment will remain reliable when rebuilt using durable materials. Make sure the reseller you purchase your equipment from advertises equipment from these and other reputable manufacturers.
To help you get the most from your rebuilt packaging machinery, a dependable reseller will also provide services to supplement your purchases. Services that can maximize your equipment’s longevity and maximize productivity across your entire production line can include installation services, troubleshooting, operator training, preventative maintenance programs, OEE programs, line start-ups, and performance improvement.
Ultimately, rebuilt packaging equipment can give you what you need to complete your systems without going over budget or putting your systems at risk of costly inefficiencies and breakdowns.

Dust and other types of particulate can potentially cause a problem for packaging machines. Products such as protein powders, flour, dry snacks, or ground coffee can generate dust in packaging environments.
You’re most likely to encounter dust when powdered or dry product passes through certain transfer points throughout the packaging system. Any time the product is in motion or starts and stops suddenly, the process may generate dust.
Here are eight innovative features in modern packaging machines that can help prevent or eliminate dust buildup.
If your packaging machines operate in a dusty environment or work with a dusty product, it’s necessary for the components of the sealing jaws to remain protected from particulates.
Packaging machines designed for wet or dusty environments will typically have a completely enclosed jaw drive to keep particulate from building up on the parts.
Enclosures that contain electrical or pneumatic components need to have sufficient protection against dust buildup to function properly. When buying packaging machines for a dusty environment, you should make sure the equipment has an Ingress Protection (IP) Rating that’s intended for your application. An IP Rating is made of two numbers that indicate how dust- and water-tight an enclosure is.
For dust protection, you should get packaging machinery with an IP Rating of 50 or higher. If you need dust-tight enclosures choose machinery with an IP Rating of 60 or higher.
Dust buildup isn’t the only thing you should worry about. Dust can also get into package seams, which can cause inadequate uniformity during the heat seal process that can result in lost product. To avoid this, you can set up dust removal equipment at multiple points throughout a facility to recirculate dust and expel it from the environment.
When plastic packaging film is unwound and fed through the packaging machinery, it can generate static electricity, which in turn causes dust and other particulates to stick to the inside of the film. This can cause product to appear in the package seals, which can compromise the integrity of the package. A static elimination bar can help further avoid these complications.
Automatic pouch filling machines can benefit from a dust hood placed over the product dispensing station. This can help to collect and remove particulates as the product drops from the filter into the bag.
Friction pull belts are standard for vertical form fill and seal machines. They are responsible for pulling the packaging film through the system using friction. However, if the environment is dusty, particulates can get between the film and the friction pull belts, resulting in poor performance and wearing them down over time.
On the other hand, vacuum pull belts use vacuum suction instead of friction, which effectively eliminates the concern over dust buildup. They may be more expensive than friction pull belts, but they’re likely to last much longer and result in less of a risk for production lines.
Packaging equipment can function in either intermittent or continuous motion. Continuous motion is more ideal in dusty environments because of the downward airflow that keeps the product-generated dust inside the packaging.
In addition to dust controlling measures, regular preventative maintenance is another great way to further eliminate dust from packaging systems. This includes cleaning and inspecting components for residue or dust.
All of these can help you combat dust in work environments, keeping products and equipment protected.
