Many Quality Managers and Production Directors are constantly seeking new ways to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the companies they work for. Requests of various kinds are regularly submitted to our sales team, who work to support this improvement by carefully selecting the washing machine best suited to each customer’s specific needs.
In many cases, machines are developed from the very beginning—starting with the design phase and continuing through construction—based entirely on the client’s specific requirements. For this reason, Velox Barchitta is well known for manufacturing custom-built machines tailored to even the most particular needs.
At the same time, Velox Barchitta agents also receive requests for used industrial dishwashers. These requests generally arise for three main reasons:
-
Finding the right opportunity
-
The reliability of Velox Barchitta machines
-
The low obsolescence rate of Velox Barchitta equipment
Used Industrial Dishwashers: Where to Purchase Them
Used industrial dishwashers are not easy to find. In fact, their scarcity often makes them rarer than expected. The reason is simple: industrial washing machines are built to last for many years and to withstand the obsolescence cycle typical of more common products.
It is not uncommon for customers to contact our technicians even today for guidance on the proper use of washing machines built more than twenty years ago. Because these machines are so durable—although they still require periodic inspections and occasional technical servicing—they are not easily replaced. As a result, it is quite rare to find high-quality used industrial washing machines ready for resale, whether from companies that use them or from manufacturers themselves.
On rare occasions, they are taken as trade-ins for the purchase of new machines. It is precisely through this type of transaction that a stock of used industrial dishwashers can be created and reintroduced to the market.
You may submit your request for this type of machine by completing the “Used Industrial Dishwashers for Sale” form.
Velox Barchitta does not maintain a fixed inventory of used washing machines; however, various types may occasionally be available, including used cheese washers, used chocolate mold washers, and other specialized solutions.
Selling a Used Industrial Dishwasher: Pros and Cons
There are not many listings dedicated to used industrial dishwashers, but this does not mean they should be overlooked. Before selling or purchasing such equipment, it is essential to carefully evaluate the advantages and disadvantages associated with buying or selling used machinery.
For those posting online ads such as “Used Industrial Dishwasher for Sale,” particularly if they are not specialized industry companies, one disadvantage is the need to have thorough knowledge of how the machine operates. Although the price will be lower than that of a new machine (which may represent a disadvantage for the seller), the buyer will still invest a significant amount in a high-value asset. It is therefore important to clearly justify the reason for the sale.
One of the most common questions asked of private sellers—especially those not affiliated with the manufacturer—is why the machine is being sold.
Unlike direct sales managed by the manufacturing company, private transactions are often conducted on an “as seen and approved” basis. In these cases, concerns frequently arise regarding the actual condition and reliability of the industrial dishwasher.
For a company like Velox Barchitta, which has been producing and selling washing machines—including used equipment—for nearly a century, the process differs significantly from that of a private seller.
Sale of Used Equipment Directly from the Manufacturer
Before being resold, all used industrial cleaning machines are fully refurbished. Once a machine returns to our facility, it undergoes an initial evaluation and detailed inspection, followed by restoration if necessary.
The reliability of Velox Barchitta used industrial dishwashers is ensured through the following stages:
-
Inspection phase
-
Refurbishment phase
-
Optional non-structural modification phase
The Stages Prior to Selling a Used Industrial Dishwasher
The first stage, inspection, involves a thorough assessment of the condition of all components. This takes place as soon as the machine arrives at our facility and is carried out by highly experienced technicians who are thoroughly familiar with both components and legacy machines.
The second and third stages are optional. Some machines may require minor modifications or the replacement of components that have become excessively worn over time. More commonly, small parts such as control panel buttons or adhesive labels are replaced due to wear. In most cases, this wear is not related to component quality, but rather to how the machine has been handled over the years. During the refurbishment phase, the machine also undergoes complete cleaning and polishing, particularly in the most frequently used areas.
The third stage involves special modifications. Machines are generally not structurally altered. If a machine was originally designed to wash chocolate molds or crates, it will continue to perform the same function after refurbishment. Possible modifications may include the addition of dosing systems or updated components that were not available at the time of the original sale, bearing in mind the long operational life of this type of equipment. These modifications are carried out exclusively upon customer request and may increase the price of the used machine. The company reserves the right to decline specific modification requests.
