Rösler provides organisations with a timely, cost-effective alternative to investing in brand-new machinery. The companies Retrofit and TuneUp service aims to improve the accessibility levels of mass finishing and shot blasting equipment, which will allow users to gain competitive and efficiency advantages.

The manufacturing industry is facing constant demands for improvements in efficiency, reductions in downtime, and greater compliance with evolving technical standards. Rösler’s service provides companies with the ability to upgrade their equipment cost-effectively. Additionally, opting to upgrade rather than replace equipment reduces energy consumption, lowers maintenance costs, and enhances productivity.

“The economic advantages of Rösler’s retrofit services are substantial. Upgrading existing machinery can drastically cut energy costs and improve throughput,” said Chris Kershaw, Automation and Retrofit Manager at Rösler UK. “For instance, replacing old turbines with Rösler's state-of-the-art Gamma turbines can lead to energy savings of up to 25% and enhance blasting efficiency, resulting in shorter processing times and increased productivity. This not only reduces operational costs but also minimises the payback period for the investment, which can be as short as 12 to 15 months.”

The Retrofit and TuneUp service works by performing a detailed analysis of the current equipment’s condition and performance. Then Rösler's engineers create a customised retrofit plan based on both the needs of the equipment and the customer’s goals.

Kershaw concludes, “Rösler’s Retrofit and TuneUp service stands out as a strategic response to the current challenges faced by the manufacturing sector. By modernising existing equipment, companies can achieve significant cost savings, enhance efficiency, and extend the lifespan of their machinery. In an era where resource optimisation is key, Rösler’s innovative approach provides a competitive edge, ensuring that manufacturers can keep pace with technological advancements and market demands without the hefty investment of new equipment.”
