I am purchasing a 500-ton (clamping force) injection molder made in

what parts from it can I save that can be actually resold.

For example:

- 50 HP hydraulic pumps
- Clamp cylinder (a huge hydraulic cylinder)
- Hydraulic valves

While they seem attractive, I doubt that I will ever find a buyer for
those. Any other ideas?

If the heat exchanger is still good, you might be able to find an
interested party.

I spent all day working on it to get it ready for moving, and parting
out.

Here's what I have decided to take:

1) Two hydraulic pumps 30 an 37 kW
2) Hydraulic heat exchanger
3) Two hydraulic cylinders, one operating the clamp or die, another one
operating the feed screw
4) Miscellaneous steel bars for making those infamous "welding tables".
5) (not decied yet) Maybe I will take the hydraulic motor that runs
the feed screw.

Any thoughts on this last one?
