Used Powder Handling Equipment
At Matcon, we help manufacturers maintain safe, efficient, and reliable material handling operations. When considering second-hand equipment, it can be difficult to verify how a system has been used, maintained, or what materials have passed through it over its operational lifetime.
A lack of complete equipment history can impact confidence in performance, maintenance requirements, and long-term reliability. For manufacturers operating in demanding production environments, understanding these considerations is essential when making equipment investment decisions.
This page provides guidance on the potential challenges associated with used equipment and explains how Matcon can help customers plan upgrades and identify solutions that support future operational requirements.
Our Used Equipment Policy
Our policy is designed to help customers make informed equipment decisions while maintaining safe and dependable operations. For previously owned equipment, complete visibility of maintenance records, operating history, consumable usage, and prior material handling applications may not always be available. We would recommend that you contact us to discuss alternatives, before buying second hand equipment.
Matcon supports eligible IDEX ex-demonstration equipment in accordance with our established service and support policies.
Our global teams can help you identify solutions that support productivity, reliability, and future operational requirements. Contact us to discuss your options and learn how we can support your continued manufacturing success.

Important Considerations When Purchasing Used Equipment
Although used equipment can seem to offer an attractive upfront cost, it is important to evaluate the broader operational and support considerations associated with ownership. The following factors can help guide an informed purchasing decision.
Safety & Traceability: Where equipment history is incomplete, it may be difficult to determine previous operating conditions, maintenance practices, or material handling applications. Understanding this information is important for assuring the safety of operators, product integrity and consistent, compliant operations.
Application Fit & Reliability: The suitability of equipment for your particular process should be carefully assessed. Pre-owned equipment may have been configured for an application that differs significantly from your own, which will mean that you will not be able to meet your manufacturing objectives. Operational wear, lack of servicing and non-original parts used can all influence performance and reliability.
Equipment History: Maintenance records, servicing history, and the use of approved replacement components can provide important insight into the expected performance of the used equipment. Are all the records available and comprehensive?
Aftermarket Support: Before purchasing used equipment, consider the availability of technical support, system design, spare parts, servicing expertise, and warranty provisions to help ensure continued operational reliability.
