Retrofits & Upgrades
While some people regard retrofitting as replacing “old for new”, our approach is different. For Premier Tech, retrofitting means innovating to achieve our customer’s business objectives. Over the years, our extensive R&D programs have led to the continuous improvement of our equipment.
Retrofits and upgrades will help you to achieve even greater reliability, reduce plant downtime and perhaps even raise overall throughput rates. In other words, older equipment is turned back into state-of-the-art equipment. Our retrofits and upgrades come in the form of software upgrades, mechanical parts, electrical components or a combination of these.
Benefits of Retrofits and Upgrades:
- Increased production
- Improved bag appearance
- Improved equipment reliability
- Reduced operating costs
- Increased employee safety
- Faster changeovers
Safety Retrofits
The respect of safety and security standards in the workplace is increasing and all new industrial equipment is designed according to these standards. It is important, therefore, to ensure the same level of security with older equipment. Premier Tech has a Standards and Continuous Improvement Supervisor to develop security updates for your equipment and help you to apply them.
- Upgrade to ANSI/PMMI B155.1-2006 or other standards
