Retrofitting for your sorting systems

Our retrofitting includes the replacement of the mechanical, electrical and/or safety components.

There are many good reasons for retrofitting your sorting system:

  • Spare parts for your equipment are discontinued and therefore no longer available.
  • The safety of individual plant components no longer meets today’s requirements.
  • After retrofitting, your system will be more fail-safe and thus more efficient.
  • After retrofitting, your sorting plant will comply with all currently valid EU directives.

By replacing obsolete components and adding new, up-to-date technologies, you bring your existing plant back up to date.
