Retrofit Replacement Transmissions

From small increases in capacity and improved reliability to major upgrades of complete operating systems, there are great opportunities to raise the performance of a process.

The essence of any upgrade is to maintain the existing boundary parameters. And through skillful application of latest materials, manufacturing techniques and good design, it is possible to gain benefits to the process with little or no impact on the original footprint area, the drive system, the utility supplies, base plates, or the control and instrumentation.

Retrofit replacements offer greater performance with minimal disruption:

  • All dimensional interfaces remain unchanged.
  • Footprint, mounting points and foundations remain unchanged.
  • Existing utility supplies are maintained.
  • Faster installation
  • Enhanced performance and/or reliability

The opportunity for an upgrade can vary:

  • Replacing obsolete or old equipment.
  • Economic alternative to breakdown repair.
  • Changes in operating needs.
