We were recently faced with an exciting challenge: a well-known professional in the packaging industry wanted to give its large, tried-and-tested machines “another lease of life” and bring them back into top form with new hydraulic components and fresh technology. Our hydraulics are responsible for tensioning and positioning the paper roll. Our team was able to bring all its experience and know-how to bear on this difficult job: Old components were replaced and updated to the latest safety standards. The result? A system that is now more efficient, more powerful and safer than ever before.
Also worth mentioning: the retrofit took place abroad. The logistics, planning and support from the backend harmonize perfectly with each other.
Possible benefits for the customer:
- Increased energy efficiency: by using modern technologies such as frequency-controlled pumps or energy-efficient control systems, the machine's energy consumption can be significantly reduced.
- Cost savings: The reduction in energy consumption as well as lower maintenance requirements lead to long-term savings in operating costs.
- Longer machine service life: The retrofit extends the service life of the machine by replacing wearing parts and modernizing the control technology and drive technology.
- Improved productivity: Modernized systems enable more precise and faster movements of the hydraulic components
- Reduced maintenance: By installing modern components and diagnostic tools, potential problems can be detected and rectified earlier, minimizing downtime.
- Environmentally friendly: A retrofit reduces energy consumption and emissions, which contributes to more environmentally friendly production.
- Modernization of control technology: Older machines can be retrofitted to modern Industry 4.0 standards, allowing them to be integrated into existing production networks and remotely controlled or monitored.
- Improved safety: The risk of accidents at work can be reduced by integrating modern safety devices.
Our customer is delighted with how quickly and reliably the modernization was carried out. The retrofit has not only extended the service life of his machine, but he is also benefiting from increased productivity.
Retrofitting an existing system demonstrably brings many advantages. Why not make your machine future-proof? Let's do it together!
