Used Paper Machines

Second-hand machines sourced and verified across China.

Used machines can save significant cost — if you know what you are buying. LANCY verifies status and evidence before listing any unit, and we never present a dismantled machine without stating its evidence level.

Status system

We label every machine: Running & Installed, Installed but Stopped, Dismantled with Evidence, Dismantled / Incomplete, Refurbished, or New. The label drives the risk and the price.

What we check

Nameplate (maker, year, width, speed), recent run video, full-machine and detail photos, and — where possible — on-site inspection. Incomplete units are marked as such.

Refurbished, not repainted

A repainted frame is not a refurbished machine. We ask for the written refurbish scope before presenting a unit as refurbished.

See current verifiable units on the Opportunities page. Availability is reconfirmed before any quotation.

Common questions

How much does a used paper machine cost?

Price follows width, grade, maker, year and condition. As a rough guide, small second-hand machines in the 30–100 TPD range often sell for a few hundred thousand US dollars, while 100–300 TPD fluting or testliner machines run into several million. We do not quote a number before the nameplate and condition evidence are confirmed.

Can I inspect a used paper machine in China before buying?

Yes, and you should. We provide recent run video and detail photos first, then arrange an on-site inspection so you or your engineer can see the machine running before any payment is discussed.

What is the difference between a used and a refurbished machine?

A used machine is sold in its current condition. A refurbished one has had defined work done — new rolls, reconditioned drives, rebuilt sections. Repainting is not refurbishing, so we ask for the written refurbishment scope before presenting any unit as refurbished.

Can LANCY ship a dismantled paper machine to my country?

We coordinate dismantling, packing, inland transport and loading, and work with your forwarder on container or break-bulk shipping plus export documentation for markets such as Bangladesh, Egypt, Pakistan, Vietnam and Africa.
