A used Galdi packaging machine? Yes, but guaranteed!
A used Galdi packaging machine can offer an equivalent-to-new user experience. But only if it is overhauled and guaranteed by Galdi!
The only official channel for purchasing a used Galdi packaging machine is… Galdi!
We are the only ones who can guarantee reconditioned, updated and tested packaging machines.
By means of thorough inspections and a full refurbishment, we re-create machines with an equivalent to new value, but at a more affordable price.
The goal is to ensure that our used equipment is as efficient and reliable as our brand new packaging machines are.
Without a warranty from Galdi, a used packaging machine - even if it is intended for low-volume or secondary production purposes - can cause unexpected extra costs and recurring problems.
In other words, it can turn into a real nightmare for your production manager!
THE RISKS OF A USED MACHINE WITHOUT GUARANTEE
Several platforms for buying and selling used multi-brand packaging machines have sprung up in recent years.
Basically acting as intermediaries between sellers and buyers, they are mostly showcase websites providing a few photos and very little technical information.
Despite attractive offers, the service does not include operations such as maintenance, shipping, installation, testing, setup, etc. Purchasing a machine "as is" exposes the buyer to serious risks, including:
- Costly maintenance/repairs
- Machine is not suitable for product/customer
- Frequent downtime
- Shelf life problems
- Contamination risks
- Spare parts' obsolescence
- Extra costs/time (starting with installation, not included when you purchase a used machine through such platforms)
THE BENEFITS OF A USED, GUARANTEED GALDI MACHINE
We have talked about the risks. Let's now look at the strengths of a used packaging machine guaranteed by Galdi!
FULL WARRANTY
The warranty period of 6 months to 1 year covers the whole machine (mechanical components; hydraulic, electrical and electronic systems, etc.).
ADVICE ON MOST SUITABLE PACKAGING MACHINE
After discussing specific needs and goals, and also thanks to its long standing experience, Galdi can help you find the ideal packaging machine. Here are a few factors to consider:
- Hygiene performance, based on desired shelf life
- Configuration, based on your product's rheological properties (e.g. viscosity)
- Type of formats the machine can handle
- Any adjustments and customizations needed to package your specific product.
At Galdi, we help you choose the most suitable model from our database of used packaging machines.
Should a suitable machine be immediately available, lead time is approximately 3 months, needed for a total refurbishment of the packaging machine.
FULL OVERHAUL
We take the whole packaging machine apart, even if it's in good working condition.
The full refurbishment includes replacing worn mechanical and electrical components, even if they have not reached end-of-life yet.
This is done to increase machine longevity and reduce the risks of accidental breakdown.
The used and refurbished machine is upgraded to the model's most recent version, both in terms of automation and connectivity capabilities.
Once the refurbishing is completed, the filling machine goes through acceptance testing, undergoing the same operational checks we conduct on new machines.
The used packaging machine is therefore ready for a “clean start”, providing customers with an equivalent to new user experience, but at a lower purchase price.
INSTALLATION AND TRAINING
Galdi can also take care of transport, unloading and handling operations at your production site.
Installation, setup and startup are conducted by Galdi's expert Field Service Engineers to make sure that startup occurs under the best possible conditions.
Furthermore, thanks to the presence of our experts on site, machine operators and maintenance technicians receive the instructions and training that are necessary to operate the packaging machine as efficiently as possible.
COST TRANSPARENCY
In our price offers, charges for additional services made available by Galdi are listed in detail, including transport, installation and customised maintenance plan.
