available from your systems supplier
As a global machine and plant supplier for the steel and non-ferrous metals industry, we are not only experts for new plants, but also your best partner for revamps. That's because our modernization specialists draw on both longstanding experience and profound know-how.
This gives us the background to precisely and efficiently upgrade ageing plants to today's technology. Included is even machinery from other manufacturers. What's impressive here is that, over the past 15 years, our experts have performed some 500 revamps worldwide. Some of these plants were more than 50 years old. Here, the spectrum ranged from small optimizations achieved with practice-proven and cost-effective new modules through adjustments to drive technology, electrics, and automation, right up to extensive alterations.
Yet that also applies to all these jobs: We custom-design each revamp to your specific requirements and always use state-of-the-art technology. It's another plus that forward-looking, detailed planning goes into every project. Right from the get-go, you know for certain your plant is going to achieve the improvements and competitive boost you want.
