View on GooglePackaging machinery encompasses all machines used for packaging, labelling and sealing products in the food, pharmaceutical and consumer goods industries. Key categories include filling machines for liquid and paste-like products, as well as vacuum packaging machines and sealing machines for film packaging.
For secondary packaging, cartoning machines, film wrappers, shrink-wrapping systems for tunnel and gun shrink-wrapping, as well as wrapping and stretch-wrapping machines for pallet packaging are used. Labelling machines apply self-adhesive, wet-glue or sleeve labels.
Leading manufacturers include Multivac, Bosch Packaging, ROVEMA, Marchesini, KHS, Krones, Sidel, Sealed Air, Robopac and Herma.
Packaging machines are used in the food industry, pharmaceutical and cosmetics production, the chemical sector, consumer goods manufacturing, and in logistics centres with their own packaging lines.
Frequently asked questions about second-hand packaging machines
What types of machinery are classified as packaging machines?
These include filling and sealing machines, labelling machines, tubular bag and form-fill-seal machines, cartoning and packaging lines, film shrink-wrapping and stretch-wrapping machines, palletisers, as well as marking and inspection equipment. Both individual machines and complete packaging lines are available. It is important to consider whether a machine is designed as a stand-alone unit or as part of an integrated production line.
What are the key purchase criteria for used packaging machinery?
Key factors include output in cycles per minute, format and product range, the ability to switch between different container types, and the type of packaging material. Check whether format parts for your products are available and how time-consuming a format changeover is. Also clarify whether the machine is compatible with your cycle rate and the upstream and downstream equipment.
How important are format parts and changeover kits?
Format parts determine which product sizes and containers a machine can process; if they are missing, purchasing suitable sets is often expensive and involves a lead time. Check which formats are supplied and whether they suit your product range. A well-designed, rapid format change reduces set-up times and significantly increases flexibility.
How can you tell if packaging machines are showing signs of wear?
Look out for worn sealing jaws and heating elements, worn-out grippers and guides, porous dosing seals, and play in drives and cam discs. Uneven seal seams, labelling errors and fluctuating fill quantities are indications of declining precision. Ask for the maintenance history and the condition of the components that come into contact with the product and the sealing components.
What hygiene and cleaning requirements are relevant for food packaging?
For the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, parts in contact with the product must be made of suitable materials, designed for easy cleaning and, depending on the process, suitable for wet or CIP cleaning. Pay attention to the machine’s protection rating, material certificates and the condition of seals and surfaces. Check whether the machine meets the hygiene requirements of your industry.
Which tests and standards apply to packaging machines?
Packaging machines are subject to the Machinery Directive with CE marking and regular UVV or DGUV inspections; where there is food contact, the requirements of Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 regarding materials must also be observed. Safety-relevant features include interlocked safety doors, emergency stop buttons and safety guards on sealing and cutting areas. Check that safety devices and documentation are complete.
Why is a demonstration using the actual product and packaging material important?
Only when running with the actual product and the intended packaging material can sealing quality, cycle stability, dosing accuracy and reject rate be assessed. A dry run without product overlooks typical problems with sealing, labelling and handling. Arrange a test run with representative material and assess the finished container.
How should operating hours and utilisation be assessed?
Packaging machines often operate in multi-shift mode at high cycle rates; the condition of sealing tools, drives and format components is a more meaningful indicator than running time alone. As a rule of thumb, high-cycle assemblies and wear parts age faster than the basic framework. Ask about the shift pattern, maintenance intervals and the number of format changes.
What should be taken into account regarding transport, installation and line integration?
In the case of interlinked production lines, transfer points, heights and cycle synchronisation with upstream and downstream machines are crucial; otherwise, the individual machine will not fit into the layout. Clarify transport dimensions, power and compressed air requirements, as well as floor conditions. Once the machine has been installed, alignment, format adjustment and safety functions must be reconfigured.
What are the typical pitfalls when buying second-hand packaging machines?
Suitable format parts are often missing, or the machine cannot be adapted to your own packaging, resulting in high changeover costs. Discontinued control systems, unsuitable cycle rates and overlooked hygiene requirements also lead to problems. Before purchasing, clarify the range of formats supported, adaptability and line compatibility, as well as the condition of the sealing and dosing components.
How do I find suitable packaging machines on machinery-market.eu?
On the multilingual marketplace, you can filter by manufacturer, machine type, condition, year of manufacture, price and technical specifications, and view the location and specifications directly in the listing. This allows you to narrow down your search specifically by performance, format range and design. For enquiries regarding format parts, cycle rate and condition, contact the verified supplier directly via the contact function.
How do contact, purchase and financing work via the platform?
machinery-market.eu is a marketplace only; you contact the supplier directly, without any intermediaries, and arrange viewings, demonstrations, price, payment and transport directly with the seller. For the purchase of entire production lines, you can submit a non-binding hire-purchase or leasing enquiry via the listing and agree terms with the supplier or financing partner. The team will answer any questions about the platform by email at info@machinery-market.eu.
