Overhauling and modernization

Repair

The most basic level. When something breaks, we fix it or replace it.

Overhauling

We restore your machine to its original serviceable condition. This involves disassembling the machine, the inspection of the current state of components; repair or replacement of worn /broken parts; reassembly and testing/ trial run to make sure everything is at full operating level.

Modernization

It is an update of the machine's original technology. It follows the same workflow as the overhauling, but this time technological improvement are added that bring your machine close to the performance offered by a new machine.

Automation

In addition to overhauling / modernization, it is possible to integrate different peripherals to increase the level of automation of the die casting process.

Standardization

We replace the proprietary technology elements of your die casting machines with standard components of leading international brands, saving you a lot of money on repairs / maintenance.

Safety standards
