Die Casting Machine Purchasing Decision: New or Used? Which is Better for Your Business?

As we all know, in the process of technology, many die-casting machines have been put into the process of industrial production, which has greatly improved the production efficiency and quality of the factory. While greatly reducing manufacturing costs and being more environmentally friendly. However, the price of die-casting machines is relatively high compared to traditional machinery. So, should companies with limited budgets buy a used die-casting machine or a new one?

I am Henry from ZAZ Mechanical Equipment Company. I have been engaged in mechanical equipment sales for more than ten years. In this article, I will share with you my experience of whether you are suitable for buying a used die-casting machine or a new die-casting machine. Hope it will be helpful to you.

Technology Updates And Production Needs:

New die-casting machines usually have more advanced technology and better performance. As science and technology continue to advance, new die-casting machines incorporate many updating design and manufacturing technologies to improve work efficiency, energy utilization, and performance stability. In contrast, the second-hand die-casting machine has been used for a while, and its performance and technology are relatively backward and it may not be able to meet the company's usage requirements. So, if your production needs are efficient, precise, and long-term, purchasing a new machine may be more appropriate.

Production Capacity And Output:

Modern die-casting machines typically have higher production capabilities and incorporate the latest technology to control the casting process more accurately and efficiently. The new equipment also has a higher level of automation, such as faster mold closing speeds, shorter cycle times, and higher precision control, which allows them to produce more products per unit of time. Second-hand machines usually face problems such as lower automation, lower efficiency, and higher failure rates, so the production capacity may be lower than that of new equipment. In addition, the mold adaptability and cooling system performance of second-hand equipment may not be as good as new equipment. However, if the used die-casting machine is properly maintained, it may be suitable for use.

Equipment Status:

New die-casting machines can reduce potential risks and failure rates for customers. New equipment usually undergoes strict quality control and testing and has higher reliability. For example, each machine in our factory will undergo many destructive tests before sending to our customers. At the same time, when the machine arrives in the hands of the customer, we will have a dedicated engineer to help install and debug it to ensure that it meets the customer's usage requirements. In contrast, second-hand equipment, because we do not know the previous usage environment and the professional level of the construction personnel, will have great potential problems and hidden dangers. Such as damage and wear of parts, aging of lines, and poor coordination between components, which may bring unnecessary risks and losses to the company.

After-sales Services:

Usually, manufacturers provide longer warranty periods and more comprehensive after-sales service for new die-casting machines. For example, our company will provide customers with at least one year of quality assurance and more humane payment terms. Part of the balance of our new die-casting machine can be paid after the customer completes the installation and debugging without asking any questions, which can maximize the interests of customers. However, second-hand die-casting machines are sold after a period of use, there is almost no after-sales and warranty. Even if there is, the warranty period is very short, which is still very risky for the company.

More Considers:

However, the new die-casting machine is not completely perfect. First, the price is relatively high. Second, although the customized service of the new machine is good, the waiting time is relatively long. 

In this issue, our company has thought about solutions in advance. In terms of funds, we have flexible payment methods for you to choose from to improve the capital turnover rate of the enterprise. In terms of time, our professional sales, order follow-up, and after-sales teams will do their best to reasonably arrange the installation, commissioning, production, and delivery time for the factory, so that customers can arrange production in the fastest time and obtain benefits. If you have any other requirements, just talk to us. We will try our best to meet your needs.

In conclusion, whether to buy a new or second-hand die-casting machine needs to be considered from the perspective of the long-term planning of the enterprise's development. In contrast, although the initial cost of a new die-casting machine is higher, the new machine has high production efficiency, and a high degree of automation and can be put into production quickly, which helps the enterprise to quickly obtain benefits. And these are far beyond the reach of second-hand machines could provide.
