Retrofit

Turning old into new

Problem definition

In mold making, older components may no longer meet the requirements due to wear. This situation can impair production processes and lead to quality problems.

Problem solution

The solution to this is Zetterer Retrofit, a measure to modernize or adapt these components. Older components are overhauled or repaired in order to improve their performance, precision and durability. Zetterer Retrofit makes it possible to bring existing components up to the current state of the art in a cost-effective and timely manner instead of replacing them completely.

For example, Zetterer Retrofit can restore the guidance of a slide valve in 2-5 hours for around €500. In contrast, the production of a new gate valve takes 25 hours and requires material and hardening costs of €3500.
