Quickly available, cost-efficient machinery for the can packaging industry

In today’s metal packaging industry, efficiency is critical, but sourcing new equipment remains a major challenge. Lead times for new packaging and filling machinery can range from several months to over a year. This becomes especially problematic during unexpected breakdowns or when production must scale quickly, requiring immediate access to replacement equipment.

Is there a solution for fast access to high-quality machinery?

Industrial Auctions provides a practical answer. As an online auction platform specialized in food, including packaging machinery, the company has organized hundreds of auctions across Europe for major businesses such as Vion, GoodLife Foods and FrieslandCampina, among many others.

Over the years, Industrial Auctions has facilitated the sale of thousands of machines, from single units to complete production lines and entire factories. The key advantage is availability: companies can purchase high-quality used equipment that is often ready for pickup within a week after auction close, significantly reducing downtime compared to buying new machines.

Are there machines for the metal packaging industry?

Yes. The platform regularly offers a range of metal packaging equipment. Currently, there is an online auction of the condensation factory FrieslandCampina located in Leeuwarden (NL), featuring a complete can filling, packaging and palletising line.

This line includes robots, lid feeding and applicator systems, transport conveyors, a can blowing machine, a 21-head filling and closing line, double bag filling machines, box closing equipment and more. This auction closes on 18 June.

Equipment frequently comes from respected brands such as ABB, Raymond Laurent, Langguth and IMC, known for quality and reliability.

Can I see the machines in person?

Transparency is central to the process. Each lot includes detailed technical descriptions, photos, and where possible, videos of machines in operation. Viewing days are also organized, allowing buyers to inspect equipment before bidding. The can filling and palletising line in Leeuwarden can be viewed on 4 June. If you can’t join the viewing day, here is a video of the can filling, packaging and palletising line!
