Whether to buy a new shot blasting machine or a second-hand used shot blasting machine is the first question that customers or businesses need to consider. Buying a new shot blasting machine is a good experience, but the price of the new sales of shot blasting machine is relatively high, but the price of the second-hand used shot blasting machine is cheaper, but shady transactions and no after-sales service increase investment risks. Some customers or merchants sometimes consider second-hand used shot blasting equipment for financial reasons or the servicing time is less.
The following are two reasons NOT to choose a second-hand used shot blasting machine:
- Shot blasting machines are consumable equipment. The sand blasting room and shot blasting machines are self-depleted in the process of cleaning the workpiece. The wear-resistant parts have reached a certain level of wear after a long time. If you buy a second-hand used shot blasting machine at this time, you need to replace the wearing parts. All kinds of wearing parts and wear-resistant parts, this is also a big investment (if you buy equipment produced by some small factories, and the parts are not internationally unified, the investment cost will be higher). And on this basis, you have to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the entire shot blasting equipment and perform a thorough overhaul of the equipment, which is not worth the loss.
- It is troublesome to purchase second-hand used equipment for after-sales service. For consumable equipment like shot blasting machines, depending on the quality of the manufacture, the manufacturer’s after-sales service guarantee for customers is usually 1 to 3 years. If you buy a second-hand used shot blasting machine, the manufacturer’s after-sales service will usually be interrupted or the after-sales service has already expired. In the case of equipment failure, replacement parts and failure repairs will cost more money.
Most users know that there are many hidden dangers in buying a second-hand used shot blasting machine. Compared with buying a new shot blasting equipment, the investment risk is greater. However, many initial entrepreneurs consider their own economic problems. After all, they are just starting to buy a blasting machine. The machine is also a lot of investment costs. If you want to invest less to buy a second-hand used shot blasting machine, then you need to be careful when buying it. The used shot blasting machine encounters a series of special problems, and these problems are usually troublesome to repair, and even the cost after repair is more expensive than a new shot blasting machines. Let me tell you about it.
Precautions for buying a second-hand used shot blasting machinery:
- It depends on where the sand blasting machine was purchased. If it is a small processing plant or even the factory is closed, try not to buy it. If the price is cheap, you should also calculate the maintenance cost after purchase, the total cost will be very high.
- Ask if this shot blasting equipment has after-sales service. If there is no after-sales service, please consider carefully.
- Look at the use condition of this shot blasting equipment, look at the shot turbines assembly and accessories, shot blasting room guards and other frequently-changed vulnerable parts of shot blasting machinery.

- Consult the manufacturer of the sales of shot blasting machines and whether the accessories are universal. If the accessories are not universal in the market, then you must replace the accessories from the original factory. Usually the price will be high, and it will be troublesome even if you encounter an outrageous manufacturer.
- If there are quasi-new equipment that you have just bought and haven’t used several times, and the quality is no problem, you can consider starting, after all, you can save a part of the investment cost for yourself?
