Unlock Premium Performance Without the Premium Price. Invest in Fully Reconditioned, Production-Ready Equipment.
For growing businesses, contract manufacturers, or producers launching new product lines, the capital required for brand-new, top-tier packaging machinery can be prohibitive. Yet, settling for lower-tier new equipment often means compromising on speed, accuracy, or durability. There is a smarter, proven path: high-quality, professionally reconditioned equipment.
LOCUS Robotics bridges this gap. We don’t just sell used machines; we supply, refurbish, and fully commission pre-owned packaging and filling systems to perform like new. Our inventory consists of equipment sourced through our buyback and trade-in programs, which we then subject to a rigorous renewal process. We understand that «used» should never mean «uncertain.» Every machine we offer is stripped down, inspected, rebuilt with critical wear parts replaced, and tested to meet original performance specifications.
When you purchase a reconditioned system from us, you are not buying a mystery. You are investing in proven, name-brand technology that has been vetted, renewed, and is delivered with our commitment to get it running successfully in your facility. We handle the entire process: selection, refurbishment, installation, commissioning, and operator training. This approach delivers exceptional value, allowing you to allocate capital efficiently while gaining reliable, high-performance automation. Step up your production capability, not just your equipment budget.
The LOCUS Robotics Renewal Standard: From «Used» to «Recommissioned»
We apply a disciplined, multi-stage renewal protocol to every machine that enters our inventory. This transforms a pre-owned asset into a reliable production tool you can depend on.
Sourcing & Initial Diagnostic Assessment
Our process begins with selective sourcing. Equipment primarily comes from our own Buyback and Trade-In programs, giving us full knowledge of its history and operation. Upon receipt at our facility, it undergoes a comprehensive diagnostic assessment:
Mechanical Inspection: Frames, drives, conveyors, and actuators are checked for wear, alignment, and structural integrity.
Control System Evaluation: PLCs, HMIs, sensors, and wiring are tested for functionality and safety compliance.
Performance Benchmarking: The machine is run to establish a baseline for speed, accuracy (fill weight, cap torque), and repeatability against its original specs.
Strategic Rebuilding & Modernization
Based on the assessment, we execute a tailored renewal plan that goes beyond a simple cosmetic refresh.
Critical Component Replacement: All high-wear items are replaced as standard. This includes seals, gaskets, bearings, pumps, valves, and pneumatic cylinders.
Hygienic & Safety Refurbishment: Product contact surfaces are polished or re-passivated. Guards and safety interlocks are restored to meet or exceed original standards.
Control System Updates (Optional): Where beneficial, we can upgrade older relay logic to modern PLC control or update an HMI for improved usability and data logging.
Custom Format Part Fabrication: We manufacture new change parts (filling nozzles, cap chucks, labeling heads) tailored to your specific containers and products, ensuring the machine is adapted for you, not just rebuilt to its old standard.
Rigorous Factory Testing & Certification
Before any machine is cleared for shipment, it must pass our stringent Factory Acceptance Test (FAT).
Dry-Run Endurance Testing: The machine runs for an extended period to ensure mechanical stability and thermal performance.
Wet-Run Performance Validation: We test with materials similar to your product to validate all key performance indicators (KPIs): fill volume accuracy (±1% or better), capping torque consistency, and labeling precision.
Certification & Documentation: Upon passing, the machine receives a Reconditioning Certificate and a comprehensive documentation package including the test report, new parts list, and updated manuals.
Professional Installation & Site Commissioning
We deliver a complete solution, not just a palletized machine.
Supervised Installation: Our technicians oversee the offloading, placement, and utility connections (electrical, air, product feed) at your site.
Site-Specific Commissioning: We fine-tune the machine with your actual products, packaging, and line configuration, optimizing it for your unique environment.
Performance Qualification Support: We assist your team in documenting that the installed system meets all agreed-upon operational parameters, providing evidence for your quality system.
Why Choose a LOCUS Robotics Reconditioned Machine?
Substantial Capital Savings: Typically 30% to 50% less than the cost of equivalent new equipment, with similar performance and reliability.
Reduced Lead Time: Often available for immediate or expedited shipment and commissioning, accelerating your time-to-market versus waiting for a new build.
Proven, Depreciated Technology: You invest in a machine whose core design is tried and tested, with any inherent «teething» issues long since resolved by the original manufacturer and previous users.
Full Warranty & Support: We stand behind our renewal work with a comprehensive warranty on parts and labor. You also have full access to our service team and spare parts network.
Sustainability: Choosing reconditioned equipment is an environmentally responsible decision, extending the lifecycle of industrial assets and reducing manufacturing waste.
A Curated Selection of Recommissioned Technology
We renew and supply a wide range of equipment, including:
Liquid Fillers: Piston fillers, peristaltic fillers, gravity fillers for various viscosities.
Cappers & Sealers: Screw cappers, spindle cappers, press-on cappers, induction sealers.
Labeling Systems: Automatic pressure-sensitive labelers (front/back, wrap-around).
Integrated Lines: Monoblocks (fill+cap), linear liquid filling lines.
Packaging Machines: Vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) machines, horizontal cartoners.
Each listing in our inventory includes detailed specifications, photos, video of the machine running, and the scope of our renewal work.
