Trade-In Program

Got used hot runner controllers sitting in a back room, a spare parts crib, or an old cell you’ve since retired? Don’t let them collect dust. Our tra

de-in program turns those units into real credit toward the purchase of new hot runner controls, no matter what brand is on the namepl

ate.

How the Trade-In Program Works

We built this program to be simple, because you have better things to do than manage equipment disposal. Here’s what happens once you reach out:

We issue a trade-in authorization. Tell us what used hot runner controllers you have on hand, including brand,

 zone count, and general condition. We’ll send you a trade-in authorization document so your shipment is tracked and accounted for from the moment it leaves your dock.

You ship the units to us. Pack them up using the authorization as your reference, and send them our way. We accept used hot runner controllers from any manufacturer, so there’s no need to sort by brand or worry about compatibility with what you’re buying next.

We evaluate and appraise. Our technicians inspect every unit for functionality, wear, and completeness. We check zone counts, cabling, control boards, and overall condition to determine what the equipment is actually worth in today’s market.

We offer fair market value. Based on that evaluation, you’ll receive a credit offer reflecting current market conditions for used hot runner controllers. This isn’t a lowball scrap number. Used hot runner controllers hold genuine resale value, often anywhere from several hundred dollars for smaller zone units to well into the thousands for larger multi-zone systems, and our offers are built around that reality.

You apply the credit toward new controls. Once you accept the offer, the credit goes directly toward your purchase of new hot runner controls from us, lowering your total cost and making an upgrade easier to justify.

What Happens to the Controllers You Trade In

Any units we believe still have life left in them get refurbished and offered back into the used equipment market. That means your old controllers don’t end up in a landfill. Instead, they get a second life supporting another molder’s operation, while you move forward with newer technology. It’s a smarter, more sustainable way to handle equipment turnover, and it’s one of the reasons this program exists in the first place.

Why Trade In Instead of Selling on Your Own

Selling used hot runner controllers yourself means listing them, fielding buyer questions, negotiating price, and coordinating freight, all while the units sit around depreciating. Our program skips all of that. We handle the appraisal, the paperwork, and the resale, and you walk away with credit toward equipment you’re already planning to buy. There’s no marketplace listing to manage and no waiting around for the right buyer to show up.

Any Brand, Any Condition, One Simple Process

Whether you’re replacing a single controller or clearing out a warehouse full of legacy equipment, our trade-in program is built to handle it. We work with used hot runner controllers across all major brands and zone configurations, so you don’t need to worry about whether your equipment qualifies. If it’s a hot runner controller, we want to take a look.
