Selection Guide for Used Offset Presses

China's offset printing market is developing unevenly like the domestic economy. For example, there are both the highly developed Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta, as well as the less developed regions in the west. There are both world-famous large companies and a small company with a small device "revolutionary". They choose their own equipment according to their own enterprise characteristics and economic strength.

Offset printing equipment currently accounts for about half of the entire printing equipment market. Everyone knows that the most worthwhile investment is to buy a brand new equipment. But if your financial budget is very limited, and your company needs to take a step forward in technology; Or you want to get involved in a new market area; or you need to increase the number of equipment or auxiliary equipment; or the delivery time of some low-end new equipment will be longer and will delay your business. You can consider buying a second-hand offset press. You should pay attention to those problems when buying used equipment. This article will give some related suggestions for your reference.

First, carefully consider the reputation of suppliers in the industry: there are many dark and ugly phenomena in the second-hand equipment market. Some dealers may never have their own equipment, let alone a factory that renovates old equipment. But he just dare to pat your chest to ensure that he is "in stock", and some take three or even four hands. So it's best to first understand the situation with your familiar friends. If they have experience in this area, it will be better to learn as much information as possible through various channels. Equipment manufacturers are of course the first choice for buying equipment, because they have original construction data, service records, latest improvements, training and engineering expertise. The reputation, skills, facilities and assets of suppliers must be evaluated at any time.

Secondly, what is the historical situation of the machine? The historical situation includes origin, manufacturing time, service and maintenance records, and the number of prints. But keep in mind that the speed of modern printing machines is very high, so don't be afraid of high print volume, sometimes a relatively low print volume number is instead a warning signal. Equipment with an annual print volume between 15 million and 20 million should be selected. Domestic machines usually work in three shifts, and the maintenance is not very good. For some damaged parts, they generally do not buy factory parts, but find processing plants to process them, which are similar and different. Even if it is a general accessory, you should pay more attention if it is a key component, because it will greatly reduce the performance of the whole machine. The most important thing is to see if the impression cylinder is defective, such as whether it has been repaired and so on. Foreign machines (Europe) generally have lower usage rates, faster equipment updates, and can keep up with the maintenance. But pay attention to customs clearance procedures to see if they are complete, otherwise the law enforcement agencies will look for you. Another special case is that some foreign printing factories have just bought new machines through banks, but they have been poorly managed, or have gone bankrupt for other reasons. Banks have taken back the machines and sold them. This machine is the most cost-effective and cheap.

"If you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods to the goods". When you buy things, everyone knows that you need to compare the goods. In fact, it is to have a reference for you to avoid losing money. Let me give you a specific example for your reference.

There is such a used offset press: the model is Heidelberg 102VP, manufactured in November 1989; the format is 720x1020mm; the number of prints is 168 million; the original use area is Europe

Configuration: Computer CPC1-02, with light pen and magnetic box

CP window

Turning device 2/2

Silent central air supply box

Quick release device

Eltex anti-static device at the feeder and delivery location

Weko77 powder spraying device

In addition, the machine is in use. This equipment is used to print paper in the range of 60 to 200 grams with less wear.

The general offer for the above machine is around 180,000 Euros.

From the above example, we can clearly see that the configuration of this machine is relatively high-end, although the age is a bit "old", but the number of prints is not too high, so the price is relatively reasonable. The offset press you want to buy can be compared with it, from the age, the number of prints, configuration and other aspects of a comparison, but also to consider the freight, to see if the other party's quotation is reasonable.

Note that the quoted price is in Euros. You should pay attention to the exchange rate between Euro and Renminbi. It is quite cost-effective to buy in Renminbi when the Euro is cheap. Hope you can buy a second-hand printing machine with good quality and low price.
