Modernized classic equipment provides a balance of proven reliability with selective improvements. The core mechanical designs have demonstrated longevity over decades of operation, with thousands of production hours validating their fundamental capabilities. By updating only specific components like controls, drives, and safety systems, we maintain the reliability of the basic machine and add modern functionality. This approach typically results in 30-40% cost savings compared to new equipment purchase, shorter implementation times, and reduced operator training requirements since the basic operation remains similar to previous generations.
We follow a systematic evaluation process that examines customer feedback, component availability, safety standards, and performance opportunities. Our engineering team identifies areas where modern technology can provide measurable benefits without compromising the core reliability of the original design. We prioritize updates that improve production speed, reduce maintenance requirements, increase safety, or add capabilities requested by multiple customers. Before implementing any change to our classic designs, we conduct extensive testing to verify the modification integrates properly with the existing machine architecture and delivers the expected performance improvement.
We maintain an extensive inventory of parts for all equipment generations, with most common components available for same-day shipping. Critical wear items, electrical components, and mechanical parts for machines manufactured within the last 30 years are typically in stock. For standard parts, 85% of orders ship within 24 hours. For specialized components, we maintain detailed manufacturing specifications that allow rapid production, usually within 3-5 business days. In emergency breakdown situations, we offer expedited manufacturing and delivery options to minimize production downtime, including overnight delivery services and, when necessary, personal courier delivery by our service technicians.
Yes, we offer various levels of digital integration for classic equipment. Our basic digital package adds modern controllers and interfaces that provide improved operation and maintain familiar functionality. For more advanced needs, we can implement data collection systems that track production metrics, machine performance, and maintenance indicators. These systems can operate independently or connect to plant-wide systems via standard protocols. We design these digital upgrades with accessibility in mind, creating interfaces that remain intuitive for operators familiar with the original equipment and provide the additional information and control modern production environments require.
Our modernized classic equipment includes warranty coverage created for the specific configuration. New components and upgrade kits carry the same warranty as equivalent parts in our newest machines, typically 12 months from installation. For complete rebuilt systems, we provide a 6-month warranty covering both new components and the integration with existing systems. Our warranty includes both parts and labor for manufacturing defects. Beyond the standard warranty period, we offer extended coverage options through service contracts that can include preventive maintenance, priority technical support, and discounted parts programs, all designed to maximize the productive life of your converting equipment.
