Why a used Symex plant from SEEFRIED?
Our roots are in building vacuum homogenizing plants: for many years we designed, manufactured and commissioned such plants ourselves at customer sites (our history). With this knowledge, we also inspect and overhaul plants from other manufacturers – as an independent supplier with no connection to the manufacturer.
Design understood
We assess vessel, agitator, homogenizer and vacuum system with the eye of a plant engineer – and only buy plants in very good condition.
Overhaul in our own workshop
New seals and wear parts, overhaul of the homogenizer and, on request, a new control system – in our workshop in Weyhe.
FAT before delivery
Every overhauled plant undergoes a factory acceptance test with a report, on request with your product or a model medium.
One point of contact
From selection through logistics and installation to commissioning, SAT and IQ/OQ support.

Typical Symex plants in our stock
Symex vacuum homogenizing mixers of the CML series are mainly used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries for creams, ointments, gels and emulsions. Some plants are equipped with a Co-Twister homogenizer (designation of the manufacturer).
Laboratory and pilot plant
- e.g. CML50
- recipe development and small batches
- scale-up to production plants
Pilot and small production
- e.g. CML125
- batches of around one hundred litres
- pharmaceutical and cosmetics versions
Production and periphery
- e.g. CML500 or CML1000
- process and storage vessels with agitator, e.g. P1000
- CIP-capable, SIP depending on the plant
For the plants in our stock, the number in the type designation corresponds to the nominal volume in litres. Availability and equipment change – ask us for the current status.
Checklist
What to look for when buying a used Symex homogenizing mixer?
What matters is the condition of the main components – rather than the year of construction. We check these points on every plant:
Homogenizer
- Homogenizing tools and gap dimensions
- Mechanical seal and bearings
- Speed range and drive
Agitator and scrapers
- Condition of the scraper blades
- Bearings and shaft sealing
- Concentricity and gap dimensions
Vessel
- Jacket: pressure and leak test
- Vacuum tightness
- Surfaces of product-contact parts
Controls and documentation
- Spare parts situation of the control system
- Wiring diagrams and drawings
- Declaration of conformity, material certificates
We check all of these points before purchase and again during the FAT in our workshop – with a report.
Do you already have a Symex plant?
We also maintain, repair and modernise existing Symex plants – from homogenizer overhaul to a new control system.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about used Symex plants
Are you an authorised dealer or service partner of Symex?
No. SEEFRIED Verfahrenstechnik GmbH is an independent company and neither a sales partner nor an authorised service partner of the manufacturer or trademark owner. We sell genuine used plants of this brand and provide overhaul, installation and service as our own services.
Is there a warranty on used Symex plants?
We sell the plants serviced and with a 12-month warranty provided by SEEFRIED, excluding wear parts. There is no manufacturer’s warranty on used plants.
How quickly can a used Symex plant be delivered?
Without modifications, 4 to 6 weeks are often possible; with overhaul and a new control system, usually under 6 months. New plants typically have a delivery time of 9 to 15 months until FAT.
How much does a used Symex homogenizing mixer cost?
We deliver most projects for less than 50 % of the cost of a comparable new plant – including installation, logistics, overhaul, FAT and SAT. The price depends on size, equipment, condition and scope of services; you will receive a specific quotation on request.
Can recipes be transferred from an existing plant?
As a rule, yes. With comparable agitator and homogenizer geometry, recipes can be transferred and scaled well. We check this case by case based on product, viscosity and process control.
I am looking for a specific Symex model – what can I do?
Create a search request. Our stock changes quickly; we will get in touch as soon as a suitable plant is available – including plants that have never gone into production.
Can I sell my Symex plant to you?
Please get in touch. We assess the condition with the eye of a plant engineer and, thanks to our market knowledge, often know suitable buyers.
