New machines tend to have higher price points, typically ranging from $100,000 to over $500,000. On the other hand, used units may offer considerable savings, often ranging from 30% to 50% less than new machines, but may require more substantial maintenance.
For companies considering the shift towards automated systems, the selection process can be daunting. Factors such as the specific requirements of the coating process, the compatibility of materials, and the scale of production must be carefully weighed. Collaborating with suppliers who have a proven track record and offer tailored solutions is crucial in ensuring successful integration and operation.
