Below you'll find a list of smaller units which Lumen Foods has available for sale in its inventory of used equipment. "Smaller" here does not relate to size -- it relates to an initial offer to sell of $4,500 or less. Every one of the four pieces of equipment currently on this page shares the following features: they are all online, they are all in working condition, and they are all available to inspection, purchase, and transport now. The pictures below represent all or part of the image area of the "larger picture." To view the bigger, detailed photos, just click on the thumbnail to see the bigger version. Note that some of the photos have had their "color pallette reduced" to try to keep the size of the files down and reduce the time it takes you to download the images, but this has little or no bearing on actual detail.

Hollymatic Model 180 Burger Maker -- $800 OBO

This is a front view of the Hollymatic 180. Lumen Foods purchased the Hollymatic in 1991 for $2,800 to make vegetarian burgers. The machine was used less than a half dozen times: other methods were found to be more cost effective in making veggie burgers.

This is a photo of the same machine, but from the other side. The stainless steel stand and two burger dyes come with the machine. (These are extra options which the manufacturer charged us. We're throwing them in with the package).

Dean Model 24 Batch Fryer -- $750 OBO

Our Dean fryer was purchased in 1986 brand new for $2,800. We used it for a year and a half before we changed Cajun Jerky to a baked product and put our Dean in "mothballs." It was used again briefly in 1995 for a research project at Lumen Foods. It looks 12 years old, because IT IS 12 years old... but it's in perfectly good working condition. Try it before you buy it. You'll see.

Market Forge Convection Oven -- $300 OBO

We purchased our Market Forge Convection Oven in late 1986 for $1,200 used. It was a good deal, and we used it for about a year in production. After that, it was brought back to life on two occasions for research purposes only. We simply outgrew its small nine rack capacity, but it works fine, is set up to run on natural gas and 110 v. power. If there were a Lumen Foods Museum, this oven would be there, but as it is, it's time to let somebody else get some use out of it and free up some of our warehouse space.
Canon CLC 700 -- $4,500 OBO

Our CLC was purchased in 1995 brand new for $28,500. Serial number is NKL 01532. It's in good condition and has less than 90,000 copies on it! However, two things are wrong with this equipment, which is why we're selling it: first, don't even think of buying Canon color equipment unless you're in a major metropolitan area (we aren't) where you can get a service contract. Have your attorney review it. Secondly, although the CLC's make the best quality copies on earth, there are inferior machines that will do 80% as good a job that cost less than a third as much. That has hurt resale value. At $4,500, we're giving it away... and we need to. We have other graphics equipment that does an okay job for less money.

This is a closer shot of the control panel. To it's credit, Canon built in an incredible array of color manipulation features into this machine. it handles 8.5" x 11" or 11" x 17" with ease. We ran stock as high as 7 point board through it, but Canon doesn't recommend that on a regular basis. The editing board cost us extra, but we're throwing that in, obviously. It does a great job on transparencies, which we used to make color t-shirts for promotional events and for our printing division.

This is what you see when you open the service area. Operators usually only need to go in here to add toner, correct an occasional jam, etc. The paper trays below allow the operator to add 8.5" x 11" or 11" x 17" stock. There is also a feeder to the right of the machine as you face it where you can feed individual sheets directly. Servicing is easy for the tech people, again, just make sure you have a service agreement from an authorized Canon dealer.

Risograph Model 6300 -- $4,500 OBO

We purchased the Risograph in 1994 from Star Graphics in Beaumont, Texas brand new. They sell a lot of these units to printing companies who want something that serves as a bridge between full press operations and simple photocopy work. With the basic unit, plus five more color cannister units ($750 each), we've put nearly $20,000 into this piece of equipment. We'll sell it all for $4,500... we simply do not need it anymore. Our size now dictates that all promotional materials be produced using our regular press (an AB Dick).

We offers a view of the Risograph from a different angle. The gear down below is a computer interface that allows PC operators to send their files directly over to the Riso. Pretty neat. We enjoyed using it.
