This Speedypacker SP5 is not your typical industrial auction "put away for years" machine that will require a $5000 service and parts visit to get up and running. It is our machine that we have used for 4 years and are selling in great working condition. We ask that you read the entirety of the ad to understand the condition of the machine, its history, and why we are selling.

The machine was put into service in May 2016 and used by a boutique snack company to package shipments. In 2019, they switched to a new system and we purchased the machine from them. We used the machine daily from 2019 to 2021 to pack roughly 30-40 boxes a day. It was not used all day, just as needed. We loved the machine, loved the system, and thought we had found the perfect solution to our void fill needs.

In 2020, supply chain issues rocked Sealed Air and we could not get the materials we needed to run the machine at the volume we needed to use it - Sealed Air was rationing film and foam and we couldn't get what we needed. We looked outside of the sealed air supply chain and found a couple outfits that manufactured compatible foams for the machine. The first batch was a success - so much so that we ordered 6 more drums, 3 A and 3 B, which came from a different manufacturer than the first drums. While the machine has no issues using this foam, the foam does not set up the way the original stuff did. We have found that it is not as hard as the original 50 weight sealed air foam and as a result, our logistics department has been using less and less of the machine.

We were told by the manufacturer of this foam that if we can turn the heat down on the machine, the foam will set up perfectly - we have not investigated this avenue as we understand that Sealed Air has these things pretty locked down. We recently switched to a completely difference void fill system that suits the needs of our business and thus, made the decision to part with our Speedypacker.

This machine is fully functional. From the time we got it to the time we stopped using it, it was serviced by Tony, our sealed air rep. We use it every week or two now just to keep it running. These things are pretty easy, swap the mixing block nozzle every week or two and occasionally, say every 2-3 months with daily use, you'll need to pull apart your mixing block and clean it out well. That being said, this includes everything needed...EVERYTHING, including a new backup mixing block, motors, drums (on dollys so you can move them around), drum wedges, touchscreen controller, a partial roll of film, the solution that you need to keep topped off for the mixing block to clean after every bag a TON of parts - a new mixing block, mixing block rebuild parts, new sealing surfaces, etc. If you want it, you may have whatever is left in the two drums. We have the other 4 untapped drums listed separately.

The only thing we have to disclose is that in the diagnostic startup screen, the blue temp shows as zero. This may be due to a faulty temp sensor - it does not seem to affect the functionality of the machine but we did notice it and mention it in the spirit of full disclosure.

We have a video of it working, the video was taken on 8/10/2023

As for shipping, we don't believe traditional LTL freight would be a good option as once we start pulling this thing apart to be palletized, the foam could crystallize, etc. We do have a broker at Tallgrass freight we've used for similar transports that can find an independent transporter with enclosed trailer to bring this to your destination and will be happy to share contact details for that if you need to have this transported. Usually these guys will have several concurrent deliveries so it isn't as expensive as a dedicated driver. Additionally, we have a truck and cargo trailer and may be able to deliver locally in Florida for a small fee.

We cannot accept returns as this is such a large machine, but we are guaranteeing functionality and we have shown the machine to be functional at the time of listing through our video. We will be happy to do the same via Facetime before it is loaded for transport.

Feel free to ask any questions - thanks for looking and thanks for taking the time to read our ad.
