Frequently Asked Questions
What blow molding brands auction best?
Graham Engineering, Battenfeld-Fischer, Jomar, and Sidel stretch blow molding systems are the most actively bid. PET preform and stretch blow systems for bottle production attract strong international interest.
Are blow molds included in blow molding auctions?
Molds can be auctioned with the machines or separately. Generic bottle molds attract broader buyer interest than highly proprietary container-specific molds.
Can complete blow molding lines be auctioned?
Yes, complete lines including blow molder, downstream equipment, leak tester, and palletizer can be auctioned as integrated lots for buyers wanting production-ready systems.
What recovery rate should I expect for blow molding equipment?
Recovery rates vary widely: 25–50% of original cost for well-maintained equipment from leading brands. Older machines or highly proprietary configurations may recover less.
Is international demand strong for blow molding equipment?
Yes, blow molding equipment trades actively internationally, particularly PET and HDPE systems for developing markets in Latin America and Asia.
