The auction is being webcast through www.bidspotter.com and includes a whole range of primary processing, manufacturing and packaging equipment associated with the manufacture of hams, cooked and sliced meat and sausages.
Equipment from manufacturers to include Multivac, Weiler, Seydlemann, Risco Breveti, Vemag and Wolfking are offered and expected to attract processors within the meat processing sectors with 300 lots planned to go under the hammer.
The auctioneers anticipate worldwide interest in the sale due to the vast array of food processing machinery being offered to the market, at a fraction of the new cost of machinery.
Pro Auction Director, Mark Flynn states that since the economic downturn the interest in good quality second hand processing machinery has significantly increased, this coupled with good exchange rates and the fact the machinery is readily available, should appeal to processors worldwide.
The auction of meat & food processing machinery is set for the 23rd September 2010, prior to which a viewing of the items is offered to interested parties. Bidspotter offers the bidder the opportunity to view the catalogue, full images and bid at the sale without the need to leave the office!
