Used textile machinery: find it, check it, or sell it.
Good used machinery can cut the cost and the time of a new line or an extension. The wrong machine — worn, incomplete or a poor fit for your product — costs more than a new one. Rovetex finds machines through its global industry network, checks them before you buy, and helps mills offer machines they no longer need.
The price of a used machine is only part of its cost.
Dismantling, transport, missing parts, electronics that cannot be supported and a machine that does not match the rest of the line all add to the bill. A technical check before the purchase decides whether the deal is a saving.
Fit for your product
The machine must suit your counts, constructions or articles — and balance with the rest of the line.
Real condition
Age, hours, wear, completeness, spare parts and the support still available from the maker.
Total cost
Price plus dismantling, transport, erection, refurbishment and start-up — compared with new.
Sell what you don’t use
Idle machines tie up capital and floor space. Our network includes mills looking for them.
For buyers and for sellers.
From a single machine to a complete line or a whole mill.

Used textile machinery — common questions
Is it worth buying used textile machinery?
It can be, when the machine fits your product, is in good condition and its total cost — including dismantling, transport, erection, refurbishment and start-up — is clearly lower than new. A technical check before the purchase is what turns a low price into a real saving.
What should be checked before buying a used machine?
Age and running hours, wear on key parts, completeness, the condition of electronics and drives, available spare parts and maker support, and whether the machine fits your product mix and balances with the rest of the line.
Can Rovetex help me sell machines we no longer use?
Yes. We list the machines, offer them to suitable mills in our international network and answer buyers’ technical questions.
Which machines do you cover?
Spinning, weaving, knitting, dyeing, printing, finishing and garment machinery — from single machines to complete lines and whole mills.
Do you also evaluate a complete used mill?
Yes. For a whole mill we assess the machinery, buildings and utilities, the investment needed to modernise and the feasibility of the project. See also our guide to buying a used spinning mill.
