Maximize Your Investment

Rebuilds & Upgrades by Velocity Equipment Solutions

Whether a machine simply wears out or your production needs change, it’s a fact of life that nothing lasts forever. However…Velocity Equipment Solutions can ensure you get the maximum benefit from your blow mold machinery. If you own an aging machine that cannot meet your current capacity needs, you’re losing money. You don’t have to invest in a brand new machine to meet product demand. Instead, for a fraction of the cost of a new blow mold machine, the professionals at Velocity Equipment Solutions can rebuild and/or upgrade your current machine to match the performance of a new machine.
