Old Screen Printing Equipment - what is this??

[Lauren]

Hi everyone. I recently started as Production Manager at a shop that used to do screen printing. There is some old equipment here that I would like to get rid of, however I can't find the information on any of it that a potential buyer might need. There is a UV drying conveyor system and what people here have been calling a "splicer". Please take a look at my pics and let me know if you know anything! Any help is appreciated!

Looks like an old slitter for flat stock and a uv belt dryer for curing ink.

I don't know about the rest, but the green piece is definitely a slitter/scoring machine which is commonly used in offset world.
Good for scoring perfs in raffle tickets, punch out's etc. Also, used for scoring heavy card stock for making folders, invitations, etc.

Pierce looks to still be in business, though your machine looks to be a very old model.
Here is a link on ebay for a current one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pierce-Scor...556?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item232d83918c

*As with any piece of equipment, it has to work to be worth something. If you can get $500 out of the Pierce I'd say you'd be doing well - small offset industry isn't what it used to be.

Old printing equipment, especially screen printing is tough to sell these days.

if that drier works, its worth decent money...

don't believe either is worth over 500.00 each. If I was able to sell the dryer for 500.00 I would be glad.
I actually bought a slitter just like that one about 13 years ago, the company shut down. It was a union shop
so I think they keep a few hands until they sold everything. They crated it and shipped it with all the manuals
for a total of 500.00, again that was about 13 years ago.

My opinion would be to try and donate that to some kind of non-profit that does job training for the Mentally Challenged. The tax write off will probably be worth twice what you would get in actual cash on old equipment like that.
