Upgrading & Refurbishing

Upgrading and refurbishing machines is a process with a lot of short (and long!) term benefits: you won’t have to commission a new machine and can continue with existing machines for a little while longer. GTE is happy to help you with advice on and implementation of an upgrade to or refurbishment of your machine.

Upgrade

Upgrading a machine has no downsides. The level of automation increases, making your machine less prone to errors and process products fastly and reliably. GTE has a lot of experience in upgrading machines. Take Nelipak’s Blister seal machine, for example. We expanded this for a number of customers with an automatic sheet feeder as well as a printing station for printing the Tyvek lids. GTE’s expertise with printing Tyvek lids really helped these upgraded machines shine.

Why choose to upgrade and refurbish?

Upgrading an existing machine automates your production process (even) further. This makes the process more efficient and reduces the risk of errors. An additional advantage is that upgrading can also increase sustainability: as fewer mistakes occur, less material is wasted. Refurbishing machines has the advantage of longer-lasting machines, meaning you won’t have to buy a completely new one.

The Importance of IQ, PQ, and OQ in Machine Construction for the Pharmaceutical and Medical Industry

In the pharmaceutical and medical industries, developing machines that meet the highest quality and regulatory standards is essential. Therefore, the steps of IQ (Installation Qualification), PQ (Performance Qualification), and OQ (Operational Qualification) are followed during the construction of these machines. These qualification tests ensure that machines meet the required standards for installation, operation, and performance, and they are a critical part of the validation process.

At GTE Engineering, we use a traceability matrix and provide support with FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) and SAT (Site Acceptance Test) protocols to make the validation process structured and efficient. This approach guarantees that all requirements are documented and that the machines meet the highest standards in the pharmaceutical and medical industries.
