Sell an Arburg Allrounder: C, H, E and A Series

If you want to sell a used Arburg Allrounder, you get a first assessment. We buy the hydraulic C series, the hybrid H series, the fully electric E and A series and the vertical V models. There is no commission on a direct purchase, and payment is made by bank transfer before pickup. Arburg GmbH + Co KG builds in Loßburg in the Black Forest, is family-run and is one of the best-known German names in injection molding. For the whole market, see Sell injection molding machines.

A note first: on this page we name only prices that can be derived from at least three current listings on used-machinery marketplaces. Currently that is only the case for the Allrounder 520 C 2000-675; for all other Allrounder sizes we value individually by the same criteria.

Allrounder C, H, E, A and V: Arburg series and drive types

At Arburg, the name Allrounder does not stand for a single model but for the whole product family, within which the machines differ mainly in drive type.

• Allrounder C: the hydraulic standard series, currently as Golden Edition with 400 to 2,000 kN clamping force.
• Allrounder H: hybrid version (Hidrive) combining electric and hydraulic drive elements, a middle way between energy efficiency and investment cost.
• Allrounder E: the fully electric series (Golden Electric, since 2016) with servo-electric drives and lower energy demand than standard hydraulic machines.
• Allrounder A: the fully electric high-end series (Alldrive).
• Allrounder V: the vertical design for insert parts and overmolding, a niche segment with its own group of buyers.

Each size is offered in different clamping force classes within these series, so a suitable model exists for practically every application. That is exactly what makes the Allrounder so liquid on the used market.

SELOGICA and SELOGICA EXPERT: the control as a recognition feature

Arburg supplies its machines with the SELOGICA control, in recent years in the further developed SELOGICA EXPERT version. The control is recognised worldwide: operators in processing plants on every continent know it, which noticeably eases resale. A machine with SELOGICA EXPERT usually earns a premium over an identical machine with the classic SELOGICA, because it offers current operating logic and diagnostic functions. Both generations still find an active group of buyers.

Price guidance: asking prices as of October 2026

The table below gives asking prices from used-machinery marketplaces (gebrauchtmaschinen.de, Maschinensucher), not achieved sale prices. For the 520 C 2000-675 there are three listings with a stated price (each plus VAT). For the 570 H we found too few listings with a price.

Of the three 520 C listings, two are on gebrauchtmaschinen.de (€6,000 and €8,199, each a fixed price plus VAT) and one on Maschinensucher (€15,000, negotiable, plus VAT). An asking price is not a sale price. For all other Allrounder sizes and years we currently have no sufficiently documented comparison values to publish a serious range. So we value these machines individually by drive type, clamping force, control generation, shot count and condition. Tell us the data of your machine and we produce a concrete indication. How we value in general is explained in What is my injection molding machine worth?.

Factors that determine the price

Drive type: the strongest single factor after condition. Electric and hybrid Allrounders are considered more in demand than hydraulic machines of comparable age, because they work more energy-efficiently and reproduce precisely.

Shot count: the central wear indicator. It shows mainly in the condition of screw, barrel and non-return valve. The lower the shot count relative to the year, the better the assessment of remaining life.

Control generation: SELOGICA EXPERT on current machines versus the classic SELOGICA on older ones. Both find buyers, but at different price levels.

Clamping force and size: they determine the range of possible applications and so the size of the buyer market. Always give us the exact clamping force from the type designation.

Additional equipment: a rotary table, a second injection unit or a co-injection set-up raise the value over a standard machine, provided they work.

Hydraulic oil condition: relevant on the hydraulic and hybrid series (C and H). Dark, contaminated oil is a warning sign of accelerated wear on the hydraulic components.

Arburg compared with other makers

Compared with Engel, whose strength is the broad model range across hydraulic, electric and large machines (see Sell Engel), and with KraussMaffei, which is strongly represented in the medium and large clamping force segment (see Sell KraussMaffei), Arburg positions itself through the flexibility of the modular Allrounder concept: different injection units, rotary tables and special equipment can be combined on the same base machine. That explains why Allrounder machines are still adapted to new applications and resold after many years in use, instead of being scrapped.

Sell an Arburg Allrounder 520 C

The Allrounder 520 C belongs to Arburg’s hydraulic C series for standard applications. Depending on the version, the clamping force of the 520 C lies between 1,300 and 2,000 kN. For the 520 C 2000-675 we have current asking prices (table above); for other versions we value individually. The SELOGICA control is recognised worldwide, so an Allrounder 520 C meets a broad, well-informed group of buyers on the international used market as well as at home.

Besides shot count and the condition of screw, barrel and non-return valve (see the factors above), these points decide the price of your 520 C:

• Control version: classic SELOGICA or the newer SELOGICA EXPERT. Both sell, at different price levels within the range.
• Additional equipment: working units sold with the machine, such as a removal robot, raise the total price compared with the machine alone. One further listing, for a 1998 520 C 2000-675 including a Star XW-1000VI linear robot, asks €27,500 (negotiable, plus VAT); the €15,000 listing is in Italy.
• Hydraulic oil condition: especially relevant on the hydraulic C series. Dark, contaminated oil is a warning sign.

Buyers of a used 520 C often come from tool and mold making and from technical parts manufacturing, who value the proven hydraulic design and the modular Allrounder concept. A recurring pattern: companies switch from the hydraulic C series to fully electric E models when a customer demands tighter tolerances, and sell the still-working old machine instead of keeping it as a reserve. Plant closures, where several Allrounders of different sizes become free at once, are just as common.

Sell an Arburg Allrounder 570 H

The Allrounder 570 H belongs to Arburg’s hybrid Hidrive series, which combines electric and hydraulic drive elements. With 2,000 kN clamping force and injection units according to EUROMAP 400, 800 or 1300, it covers a versatile segment. For this model we have no reliable public price range; we classify your machine individually by the factors below. Marketplace listings are mostly without a price, and fewer than three listings with a price give no serious range.

Besides shot count and the condition of screw, barrel and non-return valve (see the factors above), these points decide the price of your 570 H:

• Hydraulic oil condition: relevant for the hydraulic drive elements of the hybrid machine. Dark, contaminated oil is a warning sign of accelerated wear.
• Control version: classic SELOGICA or a later update, both sellable at different price levels.
• Additional equipment: a rotary table or a second injection unit lifts the price over the standard version.
• Injection unit and version: the size of the injection unit (400, 800 or 1300 according to EUROMAP) and the equipment variant (Comfort, Premium or Ultimate) determine the group of buyers.

The 570 H differs from the 520 C in its drive: it is a hybrid machine of the Hidrive series, while the 520 C is a hydraulic standard machine of the C series. We cannot put a figure on a general price difference, because we have no reliable public price range for the 570 H. An older 570 H is generally still sellable, provided the condition is right. What decides is the real condition of screw, barrel and hydraulics, not the year alone. Buyers often come from technical parts manufacturing and from processors looking for an energy-efficient hybrid machine with 2,000 kN.

Sell an Arburg Allrounder 470 E

The Allrounder 470 E belongs to Arburg’s fully electric Golden Electric series, introduced in spring 2016. All main axes work servo-electrically instead of hydraulically; the clamping force is 1,000 kN. The machine trades actively on the German and European used market, but unlike the 520 C 2000-675 we currently have no reliable price range for the 470 E.

Why we name no guide price: we only write prices for which we have a real basis, here at least three comparable public listings. For the 470 E we do not have that basis, although the machine is demonstrably traded. Instead of estimating a figure, we classify your specific machine by these factors:

Buyers of a used 470 E often come from precision parts manufacturing, for whom the fully electric design is an important argument against hydraulic alternatives for tight-tolerance parts. Companies often sell a 470 E as part of a further modernisation to a newer control generation, or in a complete plant closure.

How selling works

Step 1, send the details: exact type designation, clamping force, drive type, year, shot count and details of additional equipment such as a rotary table or second injection unit. If possible, photos of the control panel and injection unit. Free of charge and without obligation.

Step 2, assessment: we assess your Allrounder on current market data and send you an indication. The offer usually follows 24–48 hours on working days after we have all the details. If it is urgent, an on-site visit is possible, usually within 48–72 hours on working days.

Step 3, payment and pickup: on a direct purchase, payment is made by bank transfer before pickup, and we organise dismantling, including draining hydraulic oil and temperature-control fluids, and transport. The whole process usually takes 7–15 working days. The complete process is under How it works.

Typical reasons for selling

• Switch to electric drives. Companies replace older hydraulic Allrounder C machines with electric or hybrid models to cut energy costs; the old machine is sold rather than traded in. See Workshop upgrade and trade-in.
• Plant closure or insolvency. Whole machine parks with several Allrounders of different sizes: we assess the entire inventory in one visit. See Plant closure and machinery liquidation and Insolvency and machinery liquidation.
• Capacity reduction. Individual machines become free when utilisation falls, often as part of narrowing the range at a plastics processor. See Idle machine capacity.
• Plant relocation. Companies often decide to sell larger Allrounders before a move rather than transport them. See Plant relocation.
