Frequently Asked Questions
What plastic extruder brands are most actively bid at auction?
Davis-Standard, Milacron, Battenfeld, Berstorff, and Leistritz twin-screw extruders consistently attract strong bidding. Single-screw extruders from these brands also have active markets.
Are extrusion dies and tooling included in extruder auctions?
Yes, dies, calibrators, and tooling sets are inventoried and auctioned with the extruder system where available. Complete lines with matched dies achieve significantly better prices.
Can complete extrusion lines be auctioned?
Yes, KD Auctions regularly auctions complete extrusion lines including extruder, die, downstream cooling, haul-off, and winding/cutting equipment. Complete production-ready lines attract premium prices from buyers who want to run immediately.
How should extruders be prepared for auction?
Purge the screw and barrel thoroughly before shutdown. Document screw wear and barrel condition. Gather all die and tooling sets. Extruders with documented low-wear screws and barrels achieve significantly better prices.
Is international demand strong for used extruders?
Yes, plastics extruder equipment trades globally. KD Auctions's auctions attract international bidders from Latin America, Asia, and Europe for quality extruder equipment.
