Used filling machines are available for a wide range of product types and fill formats. The most commonly available used filling equipment on the second-hand market: used liquid filling machines — rotary monoblock fillers, inline piston fillers, flowmeter fillers, and gravity fillers for beverages, sauces, oils, dairy products, and cleaning products; particularly common from beverage and food lines that have been upgraded to higher-speed new equipment. Used powder filling machines — auger fillers, cup fillers, and net weight powder fillers; common from the food supplement, flour, spice, and chemical industries; check auger condition and product-contact surfaces for corrosion and cross-contamination history. Used multihead weighers — Ishida, Yamato, and other rotary multihead weighers from snack, frozen food, and nut production lines; heavy-duty mechanical components make multihead weighers a good used machinery purchase if well-maintained; check radial feeder condition and load cell accuracy. Used volumetric cup fillers — standard cup fillers from cereal, snack, and grain production; straightforward mechanically; commonly available at low cost. Used aseptic and ultra-clean fillers — less commonly available used because aseptic filling equipment is specialised and usually kept in service until a major line overhaul; when available, extensive validation work is needed. Buying considerations for used filling machines: product contact surfaces must be inspected for staining, pitting, corrosion, and contamination from previous products; food-grade certification of materials should be confirmed; seals, o-rings, and filling valves typically need replacing; run the machine with water before purchase if possible; request service history and parts list.
Inspecting and commissioning used filling equipment
When purchasing a used filling machine, a thorough inspection before purchase significantly reduces risk. Key inspection points for a used liquid filler: filling valves — remove and inspect for wear, scoring, and seal condition; valve seats should be smooth and undamaged; centering bells and nozzle guides — check for wear and alignment; product piping and manifold — check for internal corrosion, product residue, and hygiene condition; level probe and product bowl — check for internal coating, deposits, and seal condition; drive system — check gearbox oil level and condition, chain wear, cam condition, and timing; HMI and PLC — confirm the software is functional and the machine will operate in its full automatic mode; CE marking and safety guarding — confirm the machine is CE marked or can be upgraded to meet current safety requirements. For powder fillers, additionally inspect: auger flights for wear or distortion; hopper interior for corrosion and staining; product contact seals; and confirm motor and gearbox condition. For multihead weighers, inspect all radial feeder units and load cells — load cell replacement is a significant cost if multiple cells need replacement. Commissioning a used filling machine: budget for: shipping and rigging; electrical and pneumatic reconnection; cleaning and sanitising of all product-contact parts; replacement of all seals and o-rings (standard commissioning practice for second-hand food equipment); initial trial runs with water; product trials before production commencement; operator training.
Frequently asked questions
What brands of used liquid filling machines are most reliable?
Used liquid filling machines from established European and Japanese manufacturers (Krones, KHS, SIPA, GEA, SMF, Sacmi, Monoblock Combibloc, Barry-Wehmiller, and similar) retain the best parts availability, technical support, and resale value on the used machinery market. Machines from these manufacturers are typically well-documented and have established spare parts supply chains even for older models. Chinese-manufactured machines are widely available used at lower cost but with less documentation, potentially limited spare parts support for older models, and variable maintenance history. Evaluate each machine on its specific condition, documentation, and spare parts availability rather than brand alone.
Can a used filling machine be converted from one product to another?
Yes, in many cases. A used rotary liquid filler designed for water can often be adapted for oil, juice, or sauce with appropriate changes to filling valves, seals, and flow settings. A used powder filler can fill different powders by changing the auger and adjusting dosing parameters. The key questions for product conversion are: are the product-contact materials (stainless steel grade, seal material, valve material) compatible with the new product? Does the machine's cleaning capability allow complete removal of residues from the previous product? Is the dosing range of the machine appropriate for the new fill weight or volume? Confirm these questions with a used machinery specialist or the original machine manufacturer before purchase.
How do I find used filling machines for sale?
Used filling machines are available through several channels: used and surplus packaging machinery dealers (companies specialising in buying, refurbishing, and reselling used packaging equipment); machinery auction platforms (Hilco, Ritchie Bros, Heritage Global, Equipmatching) where food industry assets are sold at auction following factory closures and line upgrades; direct purchase from food and beverage manufacturers selling surplus or decommissioned equipment; B2B trade platforms such as Towobo, where machinery dealers and direct sellers list equipment. When searching, use specific search terms: the specific machine type (filling machine, monoblock filler, powder filler, auger filler), the brand name if known, and the output speed or fill volume range needed.
