Second hand machinery: a smart decision full of advantages

In these days when all the eyes are set on the World Climate Summit COP25 which is held at IFEMA (Madrid), in CECAMASA we would like to speak of the second-hand machinery as an intelligent alternative to the consumption of new equipment goods. One approach that means a commitment to recycling and reuse of machinery in the industrial sector on the path marked by the called circular economy. A concept that was born in the 80s and which it is currently in the mouths of many who advocates the rule of three Rs: reduce, recycle and reuse. The manufacture of new equipment represents a high environmental impact by consuming resources and it generates pollution. Thus, reconditioning machines is an attractive alternative and not just in environmental terms. Acquiring second-hand machinery means great advantages for businesses. Here we list some of them:

1. Cost savings

Cost savings is emerging as the main advantage when buying second-hand machinery. The acquisition of new equipment can be very expensive, not to mention the fact that several years are necessary until the entrepreneur gets a return on their investment.

However, if the entrepreneur chooses to purchase second-hand machinery, the cost will be substantially less, so their investment will also pay for itself in less time, which will result in higher profits in the short term.

2. Reliability

There is an understandable reluctance to buy used machinery thinking machines will be more prone to breakdowns. The passage of time may have taken a toll on some of the functionality of the machine. However, in companies with extensive experience in the market as CECAMASA we have the infrastructure and the means to leave the used machines with almost the same capacities as the ones of a new machine.

3. Technical Support

In CECAMASA we have a highly qualified sales and technical team that will help you throughout the whole process: from choosing the machine that best suits your production needs until its implementation in your premises, if you want to.

4. Wide catalog at your disposal
