We specialize in the following system upgrades and retrofits:
- Conversion to alternative heating systems, e.g. from gas fired indirect heating systems to direct gas burner technology
- Upgrade or retrofit of motion detection systems
- Modernization of system controls
- Integration of energy recovery solutions
- Implementation of noise reduction measures
- Integration of paint spraying or blasting robots into existing systems for increased automation
- Retrofit of sectional ventilation systems in existing paint spraying lines
- Integration of energy-saving control systems
- Installation of heat recovery systems
Standing still is not an option! With targeted retrofit and upgrade measures, existing surface treatment systems can be brought up to the latest technical standards – efficiently, sustainably and cost-effectively. Through selected practical examples, we demonstrate how blasting and paint spraying systems can be modernized, process efficiency improved and energy consumption significantly reduced.
Whether control technology, drive systems, filtration units or complete system extensions – our retrofit solutions are always tailored to the specific requirements of each customer. The result: customized concepts that extend the service life of your system while substantially increasing its performance.
Retrofit Heating Media
In 2022, Carl Geringhoff Produktions GmbH successfully converted its production process to use LPG as an alternative heating medium through a targeted retrofit.
We supplied and installed an automated system that allows quick and flexible switching between natural gas and LPG when required. The retrofit focused on the paint booth and drying oven, each equipped with a gas surface burner. In principle, these burners can be operated with various alternative energy sources.
Modernization of Heat Recovery Systems
At LAWECO GmbH, a manufacturer of lifting tables and lifting systems, we modernized the heat recovery system in 2025.
A damper control system was installed to switch efficiently between painting and drying modes. In addition, we integrated a heat exchanger and insulated the air ducts to improve energy efficiency.
In the paint spraying booth, we modernized the heating system by installing a new gas surface burner and a pumped hot water heating coil.
Automation of the Blasting Process
In 2024, we retrofitted a ReCo-Blaster® in our customer’s existing blasting booth with dimensions of 10 x 6.5 x 6.3 m (l x w x h).
The automation of the blasting process using the 8-axis overhead gantry blasting robot provides the façade manufacturer with lots of benefits — above all improved efficiency, surface quality, workplace safety, and cost-effectiveness. A key objective for our customer was to ensure a consistently homogeneous blasting result, enabling reliable and repeatable surface preparation for subsequent production steps.
