Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What food processing equipment do you auction?
We auction complete food processing lines including fillers, sealers, labelers, conveyors, mixers, kettles, pasteurizers, refrigeration systems, CIP systems, canning and bottling lines, and packaging equipment. We've liquidated beverage manufacturing facilities, canning plants, and bakery operations.
How do you handle USDA/FDA-regulated food equipment?
Food-grade and FDA-regulated equipment is cataloged with attention to sanitary construction, regulatory compliance history, and cleanability. Buyers include food processors, contract manufacturers, and equipment dealers familiar with regulatory requirements.
Do you manage refrigeration and specialized utility systems at food plants?
Yes, we coordinate with specialized refrigeration and mechanical contractors for decommissioning and removal of ammonia refrigeration, glycol systems, compressed air, and utility infrastructure. Hazmat handling is coordinated per applicable regulations.
How long does a food processing facility auction take?
A food and beverage plant auction typically runs 4–8 weeks from engagement, accounting for specialized cataloging, sanitation documentation, and removal coordination. We can accommodate regulatory timelines and lease deadlines.
Can you sell a food processing plant that has ongoing production?
We can structure a phased liquidation that accommodates ongoing production by sequencing the sale of non-essential equipment first. We've managed transitions for plants winding down production over 90–180 days.
