Frequently Asked Questions
What packaging equipment brands are most valued at auction?
Lantech, Robopac, and Highlight Industries shrink wrappers; Hytrol and Intelligrated conveyors; and Fanuc and ABB robotic palletizers consistently attract strong bidding.
Can complete packaging lines be auctioned?
Yes, KD Auctions regularly auctions complete packaging lines as integrated sales. Complete production-ready lines attract premium prices from buyers who want to run immediately.
Is FDA compliance documentation included with food-grade packaging equipment?
FDA compliance documentation, sanitation records, and NSF certifications are included where available. Food-grade packaging equipment with complete compliance records commands premium prices.
Are packaging conveyors typically auctioned with packaging lines or separately?
Conveyors are typically auctioned as part of the complete packaging line. Standalone conveyor lots are also created for individual sections that may have value independent of the line.
