Retrofit, Upgrade & Refurbishment
Modernising existing Hosokawa equipment is often smarter than buying new. Whether through a retrofit, upgrade or refurbishment, we extend equipment life, improve performance and ensure compliance — cost-effectively and with minimal disruption.
Together with your team, we assess your system and define the best modernisation approach. Whether you're solving wear issues, increasing capacity or updating to current standards, we provide reliable, tailored solutions that deliver long-term value.
Retrofit – Restore original performance
Ideal for machines with worn or damaged parts, a retrofit restores your equipment to reliable working condition. Our engineers replace critical components like bearings, seals and moving parts, without altering the core structure. It’s a cost-effective way to extend equipment life and reduce future maintenance needs.
Benefits of retrofitting:
- Replaces worn or defective components
- Preserves existing machine structure
- Restores original performance
- Reduces downtime and maintenance costs
Upgrade – Enhance performance and compliance
An upgrade increases the capabilities of your machine beyond its original design. This can include improving energy efficiency, boosting capacity, integrating new technologies, or achieving compliance with current standards such as ATEX, CE, FDA or GMP. Upgrades keep your process competitive — without replacing the entire system.
Benefits of upgrading:
- Adds new functions or compliance (ATEX, FDA, etc.)
- Incorporates modern controls or technologies
- Improves performance and process reliability
- Scales capacity for changing production needs
Refurbishment – Complete equipment overhaul
Refurbishment is the most comprehensive solution. If your equipment is outdated but structurally sound, we can fully overhaul it — from mechanical rebuilds to control upgrades — restoring it to like-new condition. You get the performance of a new machine without the investment.
Benefits of refurbishment:
- Full overhaul of mechanical and control systems
- Replaces and upgrades critical parts
- Improves safety, compliance and reliability
- Extends lifespan while avoiding capital expense
