Retrofit
Modernisation of your equipment
If your systems run for many years, but the results and profitability no longer correspond to the task and the requirements, often the question arises whether a new acquisition makes sense. The answer does not necessarily have to be yes.
A machine modernisation is, compared to a new acquisition, often the most cost-efficient option. The realignment of an existing machine may have several reasons:
Increase of production quality | Improved surface treatment, better processing results |
Increase of production quantity | Higher throughput |
Reduction of down time | Extended maintenance intervals, increasingly powerful and resistant wear parts |
Reduction of maintenance costs | Reduced costs for wear parts and maintenance |
Reduction of operating costs | Reduced energy costs, less consumption of blasting abrasive |
Safety improvement | Improved filter performance, reduction of noise level, additional safety measures |
Improved usability | Uncomplicated replacement of wear parts |
Different range of tasks of the machine | Adjustment of the effective range of the turbines on new work piece dimensions |
Alignment with new norms and directives | According to current and future norms, for example Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and EN 1248:2001+A1:2009 |
These options can be realised through different measures:
- Replacement of the turbines or installation of further turbines
- Modification or reinforcing of the blasting chamber and other components subject to wear
- Revision or optimisation of the abrasive circulation system and abrasive replenishment
- Modification and reinforcing of conveying systems, supplementing with robotic and feeder solutions
- Enhanced operator safety by sensors, noise control and segretation arrangements
- Installation of an abrasive refill hopper for a constant operating mix
You are not sure whether a Retrofit for your shot blast machine comes into question? Then simply contact us via the contact form. We will get in touch with you immediately. Of course you can also approach your contact person.
In the next step, we come to visit you in order to clarify options and details.
As a matter of course, we also advise you about buying a new shot blast machine if a modernisation proves to be uneconomical or impractical.
In summary result for you two decisive advantages through a feasible Retrofit:
-
Reduced costs compared to a new acquisition
-
Shorter implementation period compared delivery of a new machine
