Plant Support Equipment for Your Active Operations
Find the auxiliary equipment your production line depends on. From core plant systems, such as compressed air, to secondary packaging, we stock the machinery that helps keep your operation running efficiently.
Air Compressors
If your line runs pneumatic actuators or process air for your tooling, your air compressor is the foundation of your plant utilities. Compressor sizing ultimately depends on your peak CFM demand, duty cycle, and desired spare capacity for future growth. Undersized compressors are the most common cause of cycle-time drift across your line.
| Compressor types | Rotary screw, reciprocating (piston), centrifugal, scroll |
| Horsepower range | 5 – 500+ HP |
| CFM output | 15 – 2,500+ CFM |
| Pressure range | 100 – 175 PSI standard; higher for blow molding |
Est. used price range
$3,000 – $80,000+
Used vs. new savings
40–60% less than new
Typical for machines in good working condition
Who it’s for: : If you’re running plastics processing, packaging lines, or general manufacturing where your plant air pressure stability affects your cycle consistency, tool function, and conveying performance, a properly sized compressor with a matched dryer keeps your line from chasing pressure swings.

Air Dryers & Filtration Systems
If your compressed air carries moisture into your tools, actuators, or pneumatic conveying lines, you’ll see corrosion, freeze-ups in winter, and contamination of your product. Air dryers and filtration systems condition your compressed air, refrigerated dryers handle most plant duty, while desiccant dryers deliver the lower dew points your instrument air and critical processes require.
| Dryer types | Refrigerated, desiccant (heatless/heated), membrane, deliquescent |
| Dew point range | +35°F to -100°F |
| Flow capacity | 10 – 2,000+ SCFM |
| Filtration stages | Particulate, coalescing, activated carbon |
Est. used price range
$1,500 – $35,000+

Brands we source: : Airtek, Kaeser, and more.
Industrial Chillers & Cooling Systems
If your process equipment generates heat that affects cycle consistency, dimensional stability, or product quality, industrial chillers maintain the water temperatures your operation depends on. Proper sizing is based on your actual process heat load, required leaving-water temperature, ambient conditions, and future capacity requirements- not simply the tonnage of the equipment being cooled.
| Cooling Capacity | 5-500+ tons |
| Temperature Range | 20°F – 80°F |
| Flow Capacity | Typically 10-2000+GPM |
Est. used price range
$15,000 – $120,000+

Vacuum Pumps & Negative Pressure Systems
If your material conveying or central vacuum loaders depend on consistent negative pressure, vacuum pumps are the system your line relies on. Pump selection depends on your required vacuum level (inHg), flow rate (ACFM), and duty cycle, and on whether you need oil-flooded, dry, or liquid-ring technology for your application.
| Pump types | Rotary vane (oil-flooded), dry claw, liquid ring, regenerative blower, lobe |
| Vacuum range | 0 – 29.9 inHg |
| Flow range | 10 – 1,500+ ACFM |
| HP range | 1 – 100 HP |

Material Handling Equipment
If your line depends on moving raw material or tooling between stations without manual bottlenecks, material handling equipment is the connective tissue of your plant. This category covers everything from resin conveying loaders and central station controllers to chain hoists, hand trucks, and reach trucks that move your finished goods to the dock.
| Equipment types | Conveyors, separators, loaders, receivers, hoists, hand trucks, reach trucks, tilters, dumpers, hoppers, bins |
| Capacity range | 500 lb – 6,000+ lb (forklifts); 1 – 50 ton (hoists) |
| Drive type | Electric, pneumatic, hydraulic, manual |

Brands we source: : Vestil , Mitsubishi, Budget, Caldwell, Thern, Global Industrial and other industrial material-handling manufacturers.
Dust Collection Systems
If your processes generate airborne particulates, granulator fines, pellet dust, regrind, or compound dust, dust collectors keep your air quality compliant with OSHA limits, protect your workers, and prevent fines from accumulating in your equipment and finished product.
| Collector types | Cartridge, baghouse, cyclone, wet scrubber, downdraft tables |
| Air volume | 500 – 50,000+ CFM |
| Filtration efficiency | 99.9%+ at 0.5 micron (HEPA available) |
| Cleaning method | Pulse-jet, reverse air, shaker, mechanical |

Electrical Infrastructure
If you’re expanding your plant, adding new equipment, or replacing aging electrical gear, used transformers and electrical infrastructure deliver substantial savings versus new, provided each unit is tested for winding integrity, insulation resistance, and turns ratio before installation.
| Equipment types | Dry-type/oil-filled transformers, switchgear, distribution panels, MCCs, VFDs |
| kVA range | 15 – 5,000+ kVA |
| Voltage | 120 – 34,500V (480V most common industrial) |

Stretch & Pallet Wrappers
If you’re shipping palletized goods, stretch wrappers and pallet wrappers secure your load with stretch film for transit, protecting your product from shifting, contamination, and damage during freight. These are auxiliary plant equipment (not packaging machinery), and sit at the end of your line before your shipping dock.
| Wrapper types | Turntable (rotary), rotary arm, orbital, low-profile, semi-auto, fully automatic |
| Load capacity | 1,000 – 6,000+ lb |
| Speed range | 15 – 100+ loads/hour |

Water Treatment & Water Process Systems
If your process water carries particulates, scale, or contaminants into your chillers, cooling towers, or process equipment, water treatment systems protect your investment by removing what would otherwise cause fouling, corrosion, and premature failure.
| System types | Filtration (sand, bag, cartridge), water screeners, softeners, RO, dosing |
| Flow capacity | 5 – 500+ GPM |
| Filtration range | 1 micron (cartridge) to 200 micron (screeners) |
