Are you considering investing in a blasting system but hesitant about the high upfront cost of a new system? A used blasting system might be exactly what you need! But what should you look for when buying one, and what advantages does a used system offer?
What is a Used Blasting System?
As the name suggests, a used blasting system is one that has already been in operation. However, this doesn’t automatically mean it has defects or worn-out technology. On the contrary: Often, well-maintained systems are sold because the original workshop has expanded its capacity or specialized in other areas.
“Purchasing a used blasting system can be an excellent way to save costs without having to compromise on quality,” says Dr. Ing. Markus Schäfer, an expert in workshop equipment and author of the book “Effizientes Werkstattmanagement.”
Advantages of a Used Blasting System
- Lower Purchase Costs: The biggest advantage of a used system is obvious: You save money!
- Fast Availability: While new systems often have long lead times, used systems are typically available immediately.
- Proven Technology: You benefit from already operational technology and don’t have to worry about “teething problems.”
