About second-hand machines for Food

Besides machines for growing fruit and vegetables, we at Duijndam Machines always have a large stock of machines suitable for the food industry. The food industry is one where strict hygiene requirements must be met to ensure the health of the end user. 

As with (almost) all machinery, buying machines or replacing them always involves large investments. Such investments come with a long ROI (return on investment) and may therefore be delayed, making the process less and less optimal. Fortunately, there is a suitable alternative to this: buying used food processing machinery.

Used machines often last for years, while they are much cheaper to buy than new machines, giving you a much faster return on investment. In our range, you will find different types of machines that can be used for processing or packaging food, such as vegetable cutting machines, washing machines, packaging machines and weighing machines.

To meet strict hygiene requirements, it is important that the machines are suitable for thorough cleaning. Machines that cannot or should not be thoroughly cleaned will therefore not be suitable as food processing machines. On this page you will find our up-to-date inventory of food machinery. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us so that one of our advisers can provide you with the necessary information.

Used washing machines for the food industry

Before food can be processed, the product must first be washed. Washing machines can be used for washing fruit and vegetables or other foods. These machines wash the product thoroughly and can be part of a processing line.

Besides the food products themselves, plastic crates and cubic crates also need to be cleaned before they can be used in the next production cycle. Crate washing machines are used for this, which are usually equipped with powerful nozzles with hot water.

Sorting machines for fruit and vegetables

In addition to the strict hygiene requirements, food must also meet the strict demands of consumers themselves. Consumers are picky and want only perfect products. Fortunately, to meet these requirements, reliable and accurate machines can be used to separate product flows, determine product quality or sort for a uniform product.

Sorting machines such as fruit sorting machines and potato sorting machines can be used for this. These machines can sort by weight, colour and, in some cases, even taste. This way, you can be sure that the products that end up in the shop meet the set requirements.

Cutting machines for vegetables

Cutting machines are indispensable tools in the food industry, especially for cutting and peeling vegetables. Certain types of cutting machines, such as universal cutting machines, can be widely used for cutting e.g. lettuce, carrot, cabbage, pepper, etc.

Packaging machines for food

After foods, such as fruit and vegetables, have been properly processed, it is important that they are packaged appropriately. Food packaging is crucial for several reasons: on the one hand, packaging can have a major impact on the product's shelf life, and on the other hand, the packaging is often the product's calling card, so it is also important that it looks attractive.

In our range of used food packaging machines, you will come across numerous types of packaging machines, each suitable for a different, specific way of packaging. For example, our range includes top seal machines, flow pack machines, stretch film packaging machines or shrink film packaging machines.

Some packaging machines are linked to a weighing machine that allows products to be weighed, so that, for example, a bag of apples can be set at 1.5 kg. Furthermore, the packaging lines can be supplemented with check weighers, labelling machines and turntables.
