Efficient retrofitting for painting systems

Extend the life of your system!

Do you want to continue using your existing system for another 10 years? No problem!

Retrofit, or revitalization, involves modernizing existing systems.

In the coating industry, systems often last 20 years or more.

Upgrading an existing pretreatment system is often significantly more cost-effective than a complete replacement, especially when space constraints and additional building costs are considered. Demolishing and reinstalling a system in the same location can also take excessive time, while retrofitting can be accomplished with shorter, targeted interruptions.

A comprehensive retrofit not only saves time but also improves efficiency, process reliability, and environmental compatibility. Proper planning and extensive experience are critical for success.

Key to success: top-notch planning and expertise

To ensure the planned “short” downtime does not turn into a fiasco, thorough preparation, precise planning, and experienced experts are essential.

Machine safety matters

While smaller modifications, such as replacing a motor or crane, are straightforward, significant changes to a machine require the operator to reassess EG conformity. This applies for example when controls are replaced or entire assemblies are removed or added.

Caution: Simply replacing the control system may shift the operator into the role of a manufacturer, taking on full responsibility for the equipment. This could lead to liability or insurance claims in the event of an accident.

Our solution: To mitigate unnecessary risks, we conduct a comprehensive risk analysis and define the necessary measures. Afterward, your system will be re-certified with a CE marking, ensuring full compliance.
