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.

Considerations when selecting reputable machine developers

What factors should you consider when selecting a machine builder? Do they meet the stringent quality standards of the medical industry? While there are numerous legal regulations in place to ensure machine and product quality, it’s crucial that machine designers and builders are cognizant of these requirements. Additionally, take into account three key factors that can impact both the machine and your product’s quality: the human factor, the product design, and the proficiency of the machine builder.

Accepting downtime is a mortal sin!

Everyone knows that companies are all about production, or ‘adding value’. Value is everything the customer needs and pays for. All other activities support this. That’s why it’s so strange that unplanned downtime is so quickly accepted and seen as ‘normal’. Many companies are not aware of how often the production line comes to a standstill. People quickly get used to it and accept downtime on a production or assembly line. However, a production line coming to a standstill is disastrous for the organization. If no value is added, the entire organization comes to a standstill.
