Timesavers International is the best-known global brand for wide-belt grinding and deburring machines in sheet-metal fabrication. The name says it all: these machines turn a rough, burr-laden laser-cut or punched sheet into a deburred, edge-rounded part ready for the next step, in seconds.
If you want to sell a Timesavers machine or another wide-belt grinder, you’ll get a no-obligation assessment from us.
What wide-belt grinding machines do, and why their market is stable
Deburring isn’t a glamorous step in manufacturing — but it’s an essential one. Laser cutting, punching, waterjet cutting, and plasma all leave sharp edges and burrs that interfere with downstream processes, damage coatings, and are hazardous to handle.
Wide-belt grinding machines solve that in a single pass: the sheet is fed by a conveyor chain and pressure rollers under the grinding/brush units. Result: a uniform surface, rounded edges, controlled material removal — repeatable, automated, fast.
That’s what keeps their used market permanently stable: every sheet-metal shop that grows or modernizes eventually needs a new deburring machine — and the old one still finds buyers.
Timesavers lines
22-Series: line for deburring and surface finishing of sheet metal.
32 RB: rotary-brush deburring machine with 1,100 mm working width.
42-Series: according to the manufacturer, the most popular line. Available as a grinding-belt module, brush module, or combi.
52-Series: for large-format sheet-metal work. Fewer units available, but correspondingly stronger demand.
Combi configurations: a combination of grinding-belt and brush module in one machine — the most flexible variant.
Prices of used Timesavers machines
We have no reliable public price range for the Timesavers 42-Series and 52-Series, so we do not quote indicative prices. Unit type, conveyor-chain condition, control, and build year influence the value; you receive your initial assessment.
What determines the price the most
Conveyor chain: the rubber or PVC conveyor chain is the most expensive wear part on a wide-belt grinding machine. Replacement is a noticeable cost depending on working width. Well-preserved chains are a positive signal.
Unit configuration: the type and number of units (grinding belt, brush, combi) determine the field of use and thus the pool of buyers.
Control and PLC: a newer Siemens or Allen-Bradley PLC with a touchpanel achieves more than an older proprietary control with no active spare-parts market.
Material configuration: machines configured for stainless steel (special brushes, low-contamination materials) have a different buyer market than standard-steel versions.
