Is the recycling of die-casting machines too complicated? These 3 tips can help you earn an extra $50,000!

"How much can the idle die-casting machines in the factory be sold for when the factory is relocated?" "How can we sell the old equipment at a high price when it is phased out?" Recently, Mr. Zhang was worried about dealing with the old die-casting machine in the factory. Like many business owners, he was both worried about being recycled at a low price and having trouble finding a reliable channel. Today, we will reveal the factors affecting the price and pitfall-avoiding techniques of die-casting machine recycling to help you easily turn your assets into cash!

For the same 500-ton die-casting machine, some offer $30,000, while others offer $80,000. The difference may come from the following core factors:

• Equipment brand and model: The residual value of imported brands (such as LK, Bühler) is usually 30%-50% higher than that of domestic ones;
• Service life and maintenance records: Equipment within 5 years and with good maintenance is more favored;
• Market supply and demand relationship: The recycling competition in industrial-intensive areas such as the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta is fierce, and the prices are often higher.

Ms. Li once shared her experience: "After comparing the quotations from 5 companies, I found that Zhongshitong's evaluation was the most detailed." Professional recyclers will use the three-step verification method:

• Conduct on-site inspections of core components such as the hydraulic system and clamping accuracy;
• Verify the equipment nameplate information and factory certificates;
• Combine the current scrap steel market situation and second-hand equipment trading data.

If the other party only quotes based on photos or asks for the assessment fee to be paid in advance, be sure to be vigilant!

Want to sell your die-casting machine at a higher price? You may as well try:

• Provide complete maintenance records and parts lists;
• Do a basic maintenance before the equipment is shut down;
• Choose peak season for recycling (with high demand from March to May and September to November each year).

Recycling of die-casting machines is not only the disposal of assets, but also the beginning of resource recycling. Next time when you are faced with idle equipment, you may as well ask yourself first: "Does this machine still have the value of renovation?" "How to optimize the allocation of the recycling funds?"
