What is retrofit at G+K?

A retrofit is a cost-effective alternative for maintaining or expanding the forming machine capacity. Often, the frame and the cylinder are still in good condition, making a complete machine replacement unnecessary. Instead, targeted modernization measures, such as a retrofit, can bring the existing technology up to date.

Through a retrofit in hydraulics and electrics, stable but outdated technology is transformed into modern industrial equipment that meets the latest safety standards. This not only upgrades the safety features but also improves energy efficiency and productivity, leading to lower operating costs and greater economic efficiency in the long run.

A retrofit allows you to significantly extend the lifespan of your machines without the need for a full replacement. With a tailored solution, your machines can continue to perform optimally, while operating costs are reduced. This enables you to retain valuable infrastructure that has proven effective in the past, while upgrading it to modern technical standards.

Additionally, a retrofit ensures that your machines will continue to meet the highest production requirements in the future. This results not only in improved efficiency and safety but also in the sustainable use of your investments. Our experts are here to help you find the best solution for your machines, ensuring they are upgraded with minimal effort and maximum effectiveness.
