Which Is Right for Your Business?

When investing in machinery for the dairy, ice cream or food processing industry, choosing between new and used equipment isn’t always straightforward. The right option depends on your product, production capacity, available space, budget and how much flexibility you need from your equipment.

At Machinery World, we offer both. We are established brand partners for Iceteam 1927, Simon Frères, ROKK Processing, Vezzadini, and Frau Group. Alongside our extensive range of quality used machinery sourced from around the world. With more than 25 years of experience in the industry. We understand that different businesses need different solutions.

New Machinery for Your Production Requirements

One of the biggest advantages of buying new machinery is being able to specify equipment around exactly what your production requires. For example, an ice cream producer may need specific ageing and mix tanks, ingredient-inclusion equipment such as fruit feeders and ripple pumps, and ice cream freezers. From there, they may need specific filling machines and packaging equipment, depending on the products they manufacture and the volumes they produce.

This could include equipment for different cup, tub or cone formats, toppings, inclusions, heat sealing and other packaging requirements. This is where our established new machinery partners provide solutions for different production requirements.

Iceteam 1927 specialises in artisan ice cream machinery. Making it particularly suited to smaller and growing producers. Its equipment can also be relevant to larger industrial businesses looking at research and development, product development or smaller scale production. For larger industrial ice cream production, ROKK Processing, our own brand of machinery, specialises in continuous production and industrial machinery for ice cream, dairy and food processing.

Our other established partners, including Simon Frères, Vezzadini, and Frau Group, provide specialist machinery for a range of dairy and food processing applications.

Buying new allows equipment to be configured around your requirements. Whether that means specifying tank capacities, production rates, feeding systems, filling formats or packaging arrangements.

The Benefits of Choosing Quality Used Machinery

Used machinery is a major part of what Machinery World does, and there is a good reason why businesses continue to choose it. A quality used machine is often proven, established and tested in a real production environment.

Machinery World has been sourcing and supplying used dairy and food processing machinery since 1999. Building a worldwide network that continues to bring new equipment into stock. Our selection changes constantly and ranges from individual artisan machines to large scale industrial plants and complete production lines.

Our used machinery covers a wide range of applications, including homogenisers, pasteurisers, separators, ageing tanks, butter churns, butter processing equipment, ice cream freezers, filling machines, fruit feeders, ripple pumps, mixers, dosing equipment, stainless steel tanks and packaging machinery. You can browse our latest used machinery to see what is currently available.

Quality Used Machinery, Inspected by Our Engineers

The condition of a used machine is just as important as its specification. That’s why Machinery World offers detailed inspections for machines in stock. As well as engineering, servicing and upgrade options. Where required, our engineers can repair, service and refurbish equipment before it is supplied to its new owner. In some cases, machinery can be restored to a condition comparable to new. While retaining the benefit of being an established and proven machine.

This is why used machinery shouldn’t simply be viewed as a cheaper alternative to buying new. You could be investing in a machine that has already been proven in production, inspected by experienced engineers and prepared for its next application. For a business starting out, expanding production or replacing an existing machine, that combination of proven performance and engineering support can be particularly valuable.

New or Used Machinery?

There isn’t one solution that works for every project. New machinery can be particularly useful when you have very specific requirements and want to configure equipment around a new production line. Used machinery can be an excellent choice when you want proven equipment, need additional capacity or are looking for a particular machine that is already available.

There can also be advantages to combining the two. For example, a business could invest in a new Simon Frères Continuous Butter Making Machine to meet specific production requirements. While sourcing a used packaging line to complete the process. The important thing is to consider the machine, its condition, specification, capacity and how it fits into your production process. Rather than simply looking at whether it is new or used.

Machinery World: New and Used Machinery

Machinery World brings together specialist new machinery and a constantly changing selection of quality used equipment. Through our established partnerships with Iceteam 1927, ROKK Processing, Simon Frères, Vezzadini, and Frau Group. We can supply new machinery for applications ranging from artisan ice cream production and R&D through to larger industrial processing.

At the same time, our worldwide sourcing network gives us access to used machinery across the dairy, ice cream, milk, butter and food processing industries.
