Sexytary and I are taking a 6500 dollar risk tomorrow.
She fronted cash to buy 2 complete extrusion machine lines.
A deal came up for working machinery used to make IV lines. Getting replaced by bigger machines. Selling for scrap price.
It only needs a die change, and swap the 3 phase motor to.a single phase motor, and a concrete pad to sit it on.
One machine is 10 years old, other is 20. Well maintained, but all analog.
Even still, its a big shop upgrade. Machine number 2 I will sell, for enough to pay for both units. The markup is my time, skills and the like.
The boys started clearing out shop space today. 2 truck loads in total.
If everything goes to plan, we will be able to make much longer boards and with less labor, while making more board feet per hour.
I have lost sales due to the inability to make longer boards, so this will be a huge upgrade.
Next up is the plastic pellet mill.
